Hello,
Haven't been by here in a while and curious to get some thoughts on oil to use in my '19 C7 Grand Sport.
This car is driven about 400 miles a month, mostly on weekends. The car is driven very spiritedly, unlike the vast majority of these cars.
Car is driven on group "cruises" in the back roads and state highways of Kentucky, and let's just say that heavy acceleration and braking are involved for stretches of 5-10 miles at a time.
Mobil1 0w-40 is currently in the car and is fresh as of a couple weeks ago. Transmission fluid and differential fluid just changed yesterday.
On these cruises, I regularly see oil temps climb to around 240-245 degrees.
Given this type of driving, which I consider to be more strenuous than autocross, but not as demanding as a track day, how many cycles of 240-250* temps should I realistically expect to get without compromising the oil?
This car has a dry sump setup and holds 10 quarts (9.8 to be exact).
Should I be using a different oil? I know Mobil1 0w-40 is generally regarded as being stout, but curious to get thoughts on this.
