Recommended Motor Oil for track use
I was wondering what kind of Oil do some of you guys use that can handle extensive track time. My car has some high mileage(174,000) and I was thinking about getting a thicker oil like 10w-40, I have my second track day on the 17th so I was wondering what kind of oil would you guys recommend?
What kind of oil is commonly used in track cars?
Sorry for the noob question just want to protect my engine since it still is my daily driver.

A name brand 20w50 to stick to your high clearance bearings and relatively cheap because you are getting so much blow by that you need to change it every day, maybe twice a day at that mileage

I have a lot of luck with running Val. Racing Oil 20w-50 (non-syn) in my D16z6. Don't loose oil pressure and vtech stays engaged the entire time. ...and since the price is so reasonable, I change it after every race weekend. The oil filter gets changed every other weekend.
