Provided it does not touch anything when the engine rocks under load.

Out west we don't get 93 and 91 is so bad frankly I just dump it in everything regardless if they run on 87 or not.

If you log a bunch of bone stock vehicles you will see 2-3 degrees of knock retard quite a bit, especially FI cars. Thankfully, a KR gauge is not a factory option otherwise we would have a forum called bobistheknockguy.com.

Nope.

Unfortunately the BRZ does not offer temp reading in digits but a graph which gives you a rough idea. In roughly 80 degrees at Thunder Hill I would run 20 minute sessions without any concern of oil temps without a cooler. I run advanced group for reference.

My '23 BRZ currently runs K&N 5W-30 on track with no cooler. Will switch to Quaker State Ultimate Protection 5W-30 next change.

How about lifters? Same opinion as for the bearings? What is your go to oil weight for a SBC which would see some additional heat and load over a daily driven vehicle?

Any reason why a 5W-40 Euro oil would not do well in an autox vehicle?

Done. Quaker State Ultimate Protection Full Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil

Mainly QSFS, it is a great value.

What are your tire pressures coming in from 15-20 min?

If you are at 1k miles now I would watch the oil level and not baby it. If you have manual mode occasionally decelerate using engine braking. My hunch is consumption will decrease.

Sealed jugs? I personally would not trust it.

I 5W-30 my normally aspirated vehicles and 0W-40 my forced inducted or track duty vehicles.

Bought a couple jugs online because of this thread.(y)
