Don't the oil coolers make a difference?

Second what rickya says I use silkolene pro s 10w 50w bit more expensive that Motul even more when the oils/filters gets changed at least twice a year.

You have several options, personally I prefer the Motul 300 series oils, a 5w40 fully synth is pretty spot on for these cars though I ran my last spec c on 15w50 with no problems
