Doesnt really matter if its built or not, if it doesnt make a lot of heat like most subaru engines dont as they dont produce that sort of power to do so, your wasting your money on a 60 weight oil, that 60 takes an age to get up to temp as its like tar, hence a 40 or 50 will protect your engine far better as these warm up quicker.
I would suggest changing to a 40 or 50 weight oil

I see Millers do a 10w 50 now..........so you think this would be more suitable?
What sort of oil temp increase will i see by going for a thinner grade as have seen 115 on the gauge on track..??
