Motul 5w40 ~1500 miles + 1 track day, Kia Stinger

Previous thread here for where I asked questions: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/oil-recc-19-stinger-3-3tt-with-track-time.351806/

Based on track-shop's advice and not great inventory of other oils, I decided to try Motul 5W40 Sport (got a pretty good deal on Amazon). Here's the analysis of a fresh sample:

Here's a sample of "fresh out of the bottle" Motul 5w40 Sport.

And here's the "1 track day + ~1500 miles" sample:

Seems like there's no issue running to ~5K miles and doing 1-2 track days? No signs of over-heating? I pushed it pretty hard at Laguna Seca - oil temps were hitting ~275F based on the dash oil-temp gauge (it's a digital bar with graduations at 200, 250 and 300, so hard to get a great "peak" value).

It seems good.
No problem 4-5k miles, but I'd check visco after.

PD: Laguna Seca

Did you change it or just sample it? Can easily go three times this long or more.

Looks good. At 275f your timing is already pulled back.
Consider improving your cooling management.
Does Stinger have a radiator-type oil cooler or heat exchanger?

I sampled it.

I believe it has a small radiator-type oil cooler.

275F is an "upper range" guess, since Kia doesn't provide a way to read oil temp over the OBD2 protocol, just a dash-gauge with a "range" with 250 and 300 marked off and me trying to glance at it as I am running on the track. I'm usually running 96+ octane to help keeps temp down.

I have an upgraded transmission cooler + AMS Signature Trans oil.

Not sure how that happened. My bad.
