That's for the normal driving, but I'm wondering on a track day, what is a good weight to run?

I'm not sure how it would relate to oil temps and how hard you work on the engine, whether a 0w40 would be better, or something like 15w50? Thanks again!
I think 15-50 is a bit thick, unless you are in extremely hot climates.

I would use 5-40 motul. I run that in my 2011 sti on the streets and for track days.

Mike
