Default Track Engine Oil

Just fitting an oil cooler to the car this weekend hopfully, so will have to drain the oil out anyway.

Now we were on track, and oil managed to reach 140 (sharp slowed down and into the pits)

So what reccomendations would everyone have for a classic (93) impreza running 310bhp thats used as a track car

Cheers

James

I'd go with a 10W-50 preferably... or possibly a 15W-50.

I believe Silkolene do these weights in either Pro S or Pro R flavours...

Halfords do a 5/50 oil which seems to be good
