My first posting here on this forum. I have been involved for approx two years running track days in the ATL area. (Atlanta Motorsport Park and Road Atlanta) /
I have a few events coming up in the next few months. This site was recommended to me from someone on svtperformance.com when we were discussing this very subject. I wanted to check in to see what people might say regarding this issue.
I have done all the usual updates to the exhaust, suspension, braking, and cooling mods for my 2011. I run the Boss 302 oil cooler, Boss 302s grill, and Ford performance aluminum radiator. I run the standard oil 5w 20 for the past two years (7 events). He mentioned I should run the Boss 302 oil 5w 50. There is Napa sale going on but I am not sure I want to make the jump over to this oil. I always change the oil/filter right before and after the event. I am aware the 5w 50 will handle the heat better but should I stick w/ the 5w 20 since it is a 2011 model? Any advice would be helpful. thanks
