Applaud Chevy for the extra oil cooling capacity for track use, but wondering about long term effects for short street commutes
Every time someone gets in their car and floors it out of the parking lot I cringe, even with the gimmicky "0W-30" oils - inevitably those cars have serious blow-by issues before long

Let me ask what may be a dumb question: Isn't the circulation of coolant controlled such that the engine will come up to temp?
