You are right. Im way overthinking this. I'll just go with the Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 0W-40. $27 for 5 quarts is so low and its a high quality oil. Im literally splitting hairs over this. I hate Walmart with a burning passion and its inconvenient to go there but the local auto store down the...

The Mobil 1 ESP X4 0W-40 has a higher HTHS and cSt, so there is more shearing resistance compared to 0W-40 from what I've seen from VOAs and the information on the site. So it does seem a bit better for my use. The 5 qt jugs are really convenient though lol. And yes, thats actually a good...

Hmm you are right. I just looked into this more. I actually still have my annual Amsoil Membership from last year. I found Mobil 1 ESP X4 0W-40 on Summit racing that comes in a pack of 6 qts, it does not seem like it comes in the 5qt jugs like the other Mobil 1 ESP grades. For a case of 4x...

Why not Mobil 1 ESP X4 0W-40? If I am not mistaken I remember that this originally met the spec for Porsche A40 and then after a year or two Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 0W-40 came out and it became the new spec. I am pretty sure that the Mobil 1 ESP X4 0W-40 and Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 0W-40 is...

Sorry, I meant about using the Mobil 1 ESP 0W-40 with a mix of track driving and street. I have a second car but I do like to drive the CTR in between track days. So I guess what I mean is it fine to keep it in between track events? Even when I was using 5W-30 I wouldn't keep it in for no more...

What is the potential problem with running a 40 weight oil in these cars? I plan on getting the Mobil 1 ESP 0W-40 for when I start tracking the CTR (I have the same car as OP) right now I am running Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30, I know the official Integra Type S TCX car runs Mobil 1 0W40. Seems like...

Why dont used oil analysis tell you the full story? Is it because its just a guesstimate or you just dont know whats going on until it cycles through your engine?

How does this Oil compare to Mobil 1 ESP X4 0W40?

Okay so I am confused. What is the difference between the Mobil 1 ESP X4 (0W-40) and the Mobil 1 C40 GT 0W40 lol

Okay thanks. I'll consider the C40 GT. I'll do that and the try out thr ESP X4 0W40 and post the used oil analysis when I start doing track days in the late summer

Any reason why you chose that over the Mobil 1 ESP - 0W40 X4, it seems like Mobil 1 ESP 0W40 X4, M1 C40 GT, or the Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 5w40? Since I discovered the website I'm so far down the oil rabbit hole, every time I see an oil thats potential good I see a link on here of people saying...

Is there any problem with using something like Motul 300V Competition 5W40? I gave a CTR as well. I feel like that would be better for track use than the ESP 0W40. I live in Florida so I feel like 5w40 would be better than 0W40. Am I wrong for thinking that? They don't make Mobil 1 ESP in 5W40...

Im have a FL5 CTR and Im curious as well. Mobil 1 ESP 0W40 seems like a good choice but in live in the US South so 0W is complete overkill. I feel like 5W40 would be alot better. Motul 300v Competition 5W40 seems like a good option based off the VOA I saw. I track the car so I would only be...

Im planning on getting Motul 300V Competition 5W40 for my FL5 CTR, is this a bad idea? I was recommended the Mobil 1 ESP 0W40 4X because it has a medium level of detergents and a high cSt. I live in Florida where its hotaf so the 0W part makes me squirm, I'd rather have a 5W oil. Would it...

Would this work in something like the Civic Type R with the K20C1?
