I've been running BP 20-50 for the last 2 months based on my shop's and this board's recommendation. I monitor my oil temp closely. My observation, on an avg ride (rpms don't exceed 4500), is that BP temp is slightly higher thus far - not a concern at this point. As summer hits, that will be another data point.

I was out on the track this week (80 degree weather) and my oil guage didn't exceed 9 o'clock.

Satisfied thus far.

FWIW-I am running the same BP blend as Adam and no temp differences yet. I'll do some more researchthis weekend.

Ah yes, guilty as charged. Nothing like pulling hard in 5th gear to find yourself being passed by a 600hp Lambo like I was standing still The sound of that car was amazing! The highlight of the drive was being behind that beautiful orange and black 997 GT3RS!

Time for the oil cooler fan override switch....I just did the mod at the same time I switched to BP oil. I don't see much difference in oil temp but my car has always crept slightly above 9 if I got stuck in traffic. Not anymore....
