I am not sure what weight he uses. You can use 0-40w with no issues.

Motul 0w30 or 5w40 in Aussie winter and 15w50 in summer (ambient above 30 degC) but it is not cheap

Are you using an additional Oil Cooler radiator? I run 5w30 with an Oil Cooler in the loop. This helps my temps stay down on a track day.

Motul 5w-40 sports ester or 5w-50

do you have a vented hood?
