Oil is picked based on oiltemp (buy a oiltemp gauge and workout what suits your engine). Oiltemp varies from engine to engine due to mods, application (road, racetrack, etc), etc.
Read this PDF and note w30 (SAE 30) is factory -
The UK's largest independent supplier of automotive oils, fluid and parts. We've products to suit any vehicle, from full blown Race / Track weapons, to Daily Drivers looking to save money. Plus FREE expert advice & recommendations - OPIE KNOW OILS
If you use a w50 and oiltemps go above 100 degrees C (not uncommon to see 100-120 oiltemp on racetrack) then the cst rating is close to the w30 at 100 degrees.
7.5w30 is factory recommended due to oiltemps aren't that high, but 5w30 or 10w30 is what you can buy.
For my car Fuchs (German) 10w40 worked for street use.

Oil can affect engine response, hp, idle smoothness, lifter sound (correct oil = quieter), etc.Last edited by Skym; 06-28-2011, 10:21 PM.RESPONSE MONSTER
