Phil Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Let's say modified and used on track for short durations only (2laps then cool)What would you recommend Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sosolid Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Car is modified. Hybrid ct9 with full supporting mods and ecu running close to 200. Edited April 4, 2016 by sosolid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oilman Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi In that case, I would use a good 5w-40. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS NT, Motul Sport/300V, Red Line and Gulf Competition. Let's say modified and used on track for short durations only (2laps then cool)What would you recommendPhil Hi Phil Depends on the mods and power, but probably a 5w-40.CheersTim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oilman Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi Phil Any idea how hot the oil gets on track? Regards Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sosolid Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Aint 5 40 bin for a 20 year old car? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oilman Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hi No, it's fine, it's only thinner than a 10w-40 when cold, so gives better cold start protection. Cheers Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sosolid Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Ok cool and also i dont really do track days and use it on normal roads so those oils ar all good for normal use, yes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oilman Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hi Yes, they are fine for normal road use. Cheers Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
