aah i didnt think about that supercity, thanks for pointing it out. i think i will look for a nce stout 5w-30 and thn run that for both street and track. I will most likely invest in a oil temp/pressure gauges for track days anyway so i can keep everything in check.

the reason why i wanted to go back to the 30 for the street was because of the noticable difference to performance (butt dyno).its quite significant although it could be all in my head (however doubt it):P the engine is a 4age BT 20v so its a 1.6L that sees a redline of 8k on the track. im not...

Hi all, have done about 1000km's including a track day on castrol edge 5w40. I changed to the 5w40 just for the track day however this grade is not what i want to be running on the street. the viscocity is a a bit of a overkill, on the street i usually run 5w30. would it be ok to change to a...

Yeah im keen on a 30 weight but am worried it will degrade in our high temp summers. I guess what my question was will todays thinner oils such as 5w30 im looking at be able to hack these temps which would have traditionally called for a higher sae rating. M1 is expensive! $100 at SCA, same...

a 60 weight! isnt that far too thick? high revving 4cylinder with much tighter clearances and not a whole lot of km's on it, i was convinced that a 40 weight was enough for it, although ive also heard of people running a 50 but never a 60. any reason why you prefer mobil1 to the rest? cheers
