You can go one grade heavier (since you're going to be running a bit hotter then normal driving) but I think most people stick with the normal weights.
40 grade oil will give the about the same viscosity as 30 grade when running at 250F. Running 30 grade oil at 250F is like running 20 grade under normal temps. But you would need to change it out when you're done with your track day which isn't that practical for most people. Last edited by 2011 Nismo#91; 09-29-2014 at 11:43 AM. |

Yes, but make sure you flush and replace often. Why are you running 5.1? Easier to run RBF600.
Read responses. Motul 5.1 vs RBF600 vs ATE Super Blue - Subaru Impreza WRX STI Forums: IWSTI.com

Vote for sticky. Thread was very informable and has given me insight on do's and don't on track day.
As a total track noob, I shall take my 1st lap with a instructor to learn line following, and brake points. Only pushing my car 60% nothing to hard. Once I step up to HPDE 2 shall upgrade braking, and oil cooling system. Than follow check list that was given to me in this thread, after my 20 min track run 80 to 90% of what I'm comfortable driving. Thanks for the link. |

On a side note, I was talking to a rep from one of the brake rotor companies (forget which...racing one) and was talking about pad material deposit and buildup on rotors. He suggested to put Hawk Blue pads on for a day around town and see if that cleans it up. I did it on a rotor that was very new and pulsing badly and surprise! It worked! Something to think about...
