I don't go to these very often for the sake of being able to daily drive my car for while, but I go 2-3 times a year to scratch the itch.
And the traffic at the track is rather light, so on a given track day I can do about 10 runs in a hour. So I'd have plenty of time to do more but at that point my ETs would have stabilized and I'd have raced everyone 2 times over.
So the worst case scenario would be 10 consecutive 1/4 mile runs on a 100 degree (F) day. What would this do to 6 quarts of Mobil1 5w30? Would you recommend something thicker? How many of these track days do you think this oil can withstand before it turns to water?
The car in question is the Mustang in my sig.
