I never knew there was anything above 60 weight. Back in the day, it was common to run 20w50 in German cars here in CA- I can remember the stacks of Chevron 20w50 at my friend's Dad's BMW repair shop, think M10/M20/M30 engines for people familiar with BMW's.

• HPR 40 has been proven for years in race and competition conditions where it has an unequalled reputation for protection in engines requiring a high-performance mineral oil. It is the product of choice for many competitors running competition vehicles in circuit & drag racing, rallying, drifting, hill climb, targa events, time trials, and regularity.

Vehicle and Fuel Types:

• HPR 40 is suitable for passenger cars, 4WDs, light and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, motorcycles, industrial, and agricultural machinery. It is compatible with petrol & E10 for on-road use & racing fuels such as Methanol, Nitro, Avgas, Alcohol & E85 for competition use.

Sounds like a pretty tough oil.
