Hi. Long time occasional reader, first time poster.
Car is '19 stinger gt1 awd w/ jb4 tune. Car is 3.3TT, with GDI, so LSPI is a bit of a concern. I've started doing track days, and last year rarely saw the oil temp go above 230F (5 days at Sonoma).
Did Laguna Seca in Feb, and saw 250 - more aggressive track and I'm getting a bit better, I guess. Ambient temp was 60s, iirc.
So far, I've been using Costco 5w30, and changing it after every track weekend. As everyone has no doubt noticed, the prices have significantly jumped from $25 to $40. So in light of pushing my oil harder than before, and not much of a savings left, I'm asking for some recommendations.
While the MY 2018 manual lists a variety of oil weights, the MY 2019 manual only has 5w30 and 10w30. I'm in NorCal (Bay) so the 32F we saw this morning is about as cold as it gets, while we often see 100F.
M1 15w50 seems recommended for racing, but it seems hard to find and 2.5x the price of plain 5w30.
My questions:
1) is regular M1 5w30 fine for temps of 270-280? 300? Assuming I still change it frequently?
2) any other brands to look at? I avoided M1 in my Subaru due to excessive consumption and used PP / PUP. Should I consider PUP 5w30 / Euro 0w30/40?
3) I realize Amsoil Signature is the ultimate choice, but is it worth it? Can I go multiple track weekends with Amsoil Signature?
Thanks.
