banking in engines
In a stock motorcycle engine, the oil is stored in the oil pan as an internal oil pan. This is called a “wet sump” oil system. On a motorcycle, this works during hard lateral turns because the motorcycle itself leans into the turn, allowing the oil pickup to remain submerged during the turn. In a four wheeled vehicle, the engine cannot tilt into the turn, and the oil is forced against the side of the pan.

Oiling for Turbochargers
The engine has a robust internal oil management and supply system, so a brief or inconsistent oil supply will have limited consequences for the engine itself. However, the turbocharger is spinning at well over 200,000 rpm, meaning even a small perturbation in oil supply will spell disaster for the bearing system.
