    Curious if anyone has had their low oil light come on while wheelin? Checked and we were free of any leaks and the engine oil seemed to be fine once I got to level ground.

    I assume it's an oil starvation issue, is that correct? Would we need a baffled oil pan or dry sump? (Things we would do if to our track cars)

    Yes, especially if you are going up hill.

    That is normal with wheeling ANY vehicle that does not have a dry sump oil system. Mine has came on several times on steep inclines but I was never on them long enough for it to start smoking.
