I probably would not run 0W40 on the track. But I think the person who posted the video and claimed the engine failure was due to 0W40 is probably just trying to make a joke since there is no specific information.

On the street, I have run mostly 0W40 since 2014, over 40,000 miles. Once or twice I ran 5W40 and once I ran 5W50. The range of ambient temperatures in my area is -20F to 100F. If I lived in an area that was always hot, I would probably use a thicker oil.
