I would expect the opposite, better cooling at oil can move better, but then again if pressure drops then you will have issues.

i haven't heard of anyone having pressure issues whatsoever. I read up on it before I bought it. Some of the bigger oil pans have issues but since this one isn't as monstrous as the others, I don't think it will have any issues.

Increasing the volume of oil in the pan shouldn't make a difference to oil pressure. I believe without looking it up, it may increase slightly due to the increased gravity if anything!

no but the baffles in the pan are different which may cause less/more pressure to build up?

Why would higher oil pressure be bad?

Not really. High oil compression would mean more efficient cooling. But there'd be greater pressure on seals though.

Higher pressure does not necessarily equal higher flow....

Too much oil is no good IF theres not enough space to hold it.

No, but higher pressure may equal more consistant flow in areas where oil is vital and any tear will cause dire consequences.
