the 5w50 will break down to a 5w40 over those track days as does the 5w40 will become 5w30. IMO you are providing more protection going with the 5w50, the other option is to change the oil every couple track days

Will be $28 this Friday at crappy. This shows you that CT’s sales are utter BS. Pricing items higher than everyone else then try to fool the consumer with a 50% sale. So you can save $5 on Friday. LOL
