Which oil for track days/drifting?

[Mack]

Over the next few days I'm planning to fit an oil cooler and sump spacer.

 

Im looking for an oil that can cope with the strain and hopefully for a reasonable price.

 

Any reccomendations?

I like Fuchs Titan Pro S 5w30 oil myself.

Millers competition NT oils are worth a look,

 

We are a premier distributor and stock all grades. http://www.millersoils.co.uk/automotive/results-tds-auto.asp?SegmentID=43&market=Automotive

The two oils will be the same viscoity when cold so both are good for getting oil around quickly when cold. But 5W30 will be thinner when hot whereas the 5W40 is a heavier weight oil at full operating temperatures but they are both the same when cold.

Worth noting that the oil temperature will go up quicker with a thinner oil.

As above, I use Fuchs Titan Race 5W 40 as it gives a little more head room at the hot end on track.

Been on this juice for over 2 years now. It's ester synthetic like Motul but half the price and always comes up on sale at Opie who speak highly of it!
