Any thoughts on which would be better for my application?
Redline 10w40
Motul 300V 10w40
'94 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4
modified 3.1 liter engine
forged crank
Crower rods
Ross pistons
King dry-film coated bearings 0.0015" oil clearance
twin Evo 3 16G turbos
revised 8400rpm redline
~550 all-wheel HP @ 20psi
Built for roadcourses, not dragracing so the car sees sustained high rpms and load. (yes the car has braking and suspension/handling mods).
Thus far, I've been using regular Redline 10w40 (the stuff in the blue bottles), but was wondering if there are any potential positives/negatives in switching to Motul 300V 10w40?
I considered the possibility of trying 15w50, but haven't yet since I've read that Redline shows a better HTHS than a lot of other oils and with my 0.0015" oil clearance, I'm not sure if there are potential negatives to going with the higher weight/thicker oil. Oil temps also are typically kept below 225f.
Another thing that might affect the proper selection is that this car is both my weekend track toy and my daily driver.
Any thoughts/advice?
