It seems like 0W-40 will be plenty (and probably even better engine protection) for street driving. Hard to justify the slow warmup and cost of 10W-60 if a lighter weight oil properly lubricates the engine when I'm not tracking the car and experiencing sustained increased oil temps.


M1 0w40 is a streetable race oil (Mobil markets it as such). Should work nicely on the track too.
