So just so I understand this correctly. The exact same car/engine requires a completely different oil because it comes with better brakes, sway bars, and other handling upgrades?

It's the idea that the car will be tracked similar to the boss: heavily. Or at least it was built to be tracked heavily. I don't track mine much so I use Amsoil 10.40 Sig Series

It's a precaution because track condition are more severe.

Funny thing is, technically the warranty is void when you have an issue due to racing. Lol. Why should they care?

I got a little better pricing from the Frisco Ford dealer's parts department last time I bought 5w-50.

I'm track pack too, and I'm stickin' with Motorcraft.

For everday driving 5W20 is good, if you take it to the track/course or whatever a thicker wieght would be the choice.

If anyone wants a to take there oil anlysis to the next level let me know. On the weekend once a month (Drill for the USAFR) I can burn a JOAP of your oil sample.

We do this after every flight on the F-16 to give us info on the engine.

Thanks. I'll remember to check that on the next round.
