3rd and 4th gen 3sge, not sure if this is worth posting but here goes... Options

I was wondering why 4th gen 3sge has a diagonal engine placement in the bay. the 7afe has a vertical engine placement. and the 5sfe it sits diagonally. Why is that, is it supposed to help with weigh distribution? does the 3rd gen 3sge sit diagonally as well?

well the purpose of the baffle is usually to ensure oil stays near the oil suction part. without the baffle oil would move around inside the Oil pan when taking hard turns and could potentially move away from the suction part. As for the placement of the Oil Filter I really don't know why Toyota placed it under the headers. But the reason the 3S-GE has it relocated is probably because it uses long Tubular headers that probably get in the way of the 3/5S-FE placements. I Do know that the S Series engine have Factory Oil Coolers that you can see easily its literally the base of where you connect your Oil Filter. For those filters You bought Im at a loss for explanations? But for the video youll notice he turns on the Heater. The Heaters are literally Small Radiator Cores inside that cabin that draw out Radiator Fluid which is why when he turned it on when his car was heating its a way to help cool your car should it overheat although it didnt seem to do much for him. But if your car gets too hot you'll lose power which is why alot of tuners Use aftermarket Oil Coolers. what he means about fluctuating is im guessing it gets too hot and the heat will warp the Casing of the Oil Filter which would hamper Oil flow and filtering im assuming?
