Considering the mods I have... Oil?

I thought I read somewhere track oil vs street oil recommendations are different?

Can I use the normal 0w40 considering my mods?

Or would someone recommend using a different oil?

I guess my concern is best practice. While I haven't tracked my car yet I do plan to weekend warrior it once in a while.

Do I need to be concerned with changing out oil between street/strip?

Just run the 0w40 and stay on top of your oil changes.

FlukeSS, my man, why another oil thread I understand you're not completely stock, but now everyone and their little brother/sister will tell you what they think and 50 replies later you won't be an inch closer to a definitive answer

With street use you'll never even approach track levels of load and the true limits of the car (or you won't be posting for long...), so you can run street oil 24/7. I don't think your mods are excessive enough to warrant a different oil. If by being a "weekend warrior" you meant visiting a road course, the manual recommends some preparation steps, one of which is changing the oil before and after, but otherwise just enjoy the car and change your oil frequently.
