How many track days between oil changes
#16
What gets me confused is I drive my car on the street so for this scenario what would you do?
Changed oil and then did:
1 track day then 700 street miles
1 track day and 600 street miles
then I have 2 track days at Barber and 600 street miles back home
So that's 4 track days and 1900 street miles on the oil. Change before the trip to Barber or wait and change when i get back home?

OK so before Barber...which I drive up to in my car. I'll have 2 track days and around 1300 miles on the oil. I'll change it before Barber...thanks.
I've always sort overkilled it with oil changes. I've always done 2 track days and a few thousand street miles at most and changed the oil.

Like many, every other weekend (about 3 minimum or 6 maximum) track days, I bet most of us instruct so I would guess the ave number of 20-30 minute sessions between changes considering more Friday driving and less on Saturday and Sunday, would be about 9-12 per weekend, and with every other event possibly a two day and the other a three day, i would guess 15-18 sessions between changes, or about 400-500 some odd track miles. Engines are VERYYYYYYY expensive.

Yes I am signed up! I do have an issue now....I ordered new Forgeline track wheels end of July. Was supposed to have them around August 21. There is a big delay now. If Forgeline can't make my wheels in time I might be driving on crappy street P-Zero's...ugh! But I love Barber and will have fun no matter what.

"just below max"
I verify oil level very regularly. As soon as it drops to 1 block above min I top it up to have it to 1 block below max again.
