I haven't heard of anyone using anything different than the recommended oil in the manual for road course duties: Mobil 1 15W-50.

I'm sure there are other excellent higher weight oils that could be used without issue.

Seems I read to put in an additional quart when doing a track day and then take it out for street driving. Did I dream that?
