I start them 28-29 and end around 35 which seems to work well.
HPL on track at SCCA Track Night in America

Of course engines can last a long time on 5W-20 with normal street driving. Live on the edge and run it track days with a 5W-20 with HTHS of 2.6 cP.
Amazing....wins BITOG today. Thank you.
Wayminut....I thought 20W regardless of use doomed your engine to a short a miserable life? It will get some track use a few times this year/AutoX with good ol' Supertech 5W20 syn baby!!!Of course engines can last a long time on 5W-20 with normal street driving. Live on the edge and run it track days with a 5W-20 with HTHS of 2.6 cP.
Some may say that ... but in the long run it could cause more engine wear, it's been discussed 100s of times with many backup sources. Of course the engine would never blow-up with normal street use, but has a better chance of something going sideways if ran in long track sessions. AutoX doesn't push an engine much more than spirited street driving, and not nearly as much as a 20-30 minute track session.
Looks like super fun & glad you enjoyed it.
You are correct. The lowest COF of this oil is 300F. This is why we tell our race teams to put heating pads on their oil tanks. (Drag racing)
That genuinely made me laugh too….
It’s the post of the year leader at this half way point…
I personally like TiGeo’s choice of HPL
Good times in the #38 Shaggin' Wagon p/b HPL Euro 5W40 last night at Dominion Raceway in Spotsylvania, VA. 3 20 min sessions in a casual atmosphere for $175 was a winner for me. This oil has a few K on it and I just do 5K OCIs including a few track days included as a reasonable way to manage it. Max oil temps I saw (readout gauge I have enabled on infotainment) were 265 F. Bo-bo Accelera 200tw tires (Indonesia) continue to impress for fun lapping rubber. Wearing like iron with great audible feedback. 7 track days on them plus a few K street miles (LOUD!) and I'm only half worn. 255/40/17s are ~$450 delivered.

****....look at you getting HPL sponsorship by whoring out the golf.
Good driving, BTW.
Almost there....if you'd leave @TiGeo where he is, replaced HPL with Ceratec, then replaced liquimoly with Trav, you'd win BITOG forever.
Meh, nobody accused Mustang guys of being the sharpest tools in the shed....
Not sure of the parallels between a 435hp coyotard and tigeo car is drawn, but that golf is running the equivalent of 1100hp coyote running 20 to 30 minutes track sessions. Not comparing apples to apples here.
I wouldn't suggest a 1100hp mustang guy to run 20 grade oil. I'm scared he'd slap me with his purse then walk away in his skinny jeans and ugg boots.
I wouldnt suggest running a 20 grade oil in a 100 HP car used for track events, so not sure what your point is.
No sponsor deal here. Just buying and running it.
Brilliant!
Wait a second.....with the title of the thread, all the pictures, the attention you're bringing to the brand, you doing all this for nothing???? Bruh.... just go to 0:35 of the video below.
I thought you were saying that if the crowd killer crew were running x20 in their mustangs, so could our friend Tigeo. Judging by your response, I misunderstood. My bad, carry on.
I did it all for the nookie.
