Everyone here has been very patient with me, especially 1JZ_E46 and edyvw. Since most of the contributors in this thread know more about oil than I do I will defer to the recommendations that have been made and I think everyone here will agree that my S55 engine should stay healthy with 5k OCIs...

I apologize in advance for prolonging this thread but I just came across a couple of oils that appear to be perfect for my street + track requirement. Can anyone comment on these as viable options? "PAO (poly-alpha-olefin) based fully synthetic multigrade engine oil with USVO® Technology."...
