I live in Roanoke VA, weather is generally mild to hot, these are hobby cars. While I’ve always loved cars, working on them and motorsports - I bicycle commute and don’t use any car as a “daily”.

I was using Mobil 1 10w40 w Lucas oil stabilizer to get the 18 V@100c that I want. Many *many* BITOG members urged / shamed me to just use a higher viscosity oil and ditch the Lucas. So I’m trying just that for these next OCIs. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Nice rides. Yep, people that haven't seen the VOA of Lucas Stabilizer sing it's praises, until they see it's just a bottle of VII with a slight dash of oil. What does the Mobil 1 Super Car 5w-50 run per quart? Have you considered Red Line 10w-40?
