Take a look here.
I've run a mixture of 5W-30 Redline mixed 50/50 with Redline 40W race oil for the last two runs in my car. The current fill is 10W-40 mixed with the 40W. I want to get in some track time and see how the used oil analysis (UOL) comes back. |
Great info. Look forward to the results on the thinner mix.
