I was told a while ago at a track day that a high velocity oil say 10-50 would reduce oil temps. I was running 5-30 and would reach 150 + after a few laps.
After researching this myself i have found that thicker oil will actually increase oil temp as it adds more friction and struggles to disperse the heat as much.
Im after someone to clarify as im undersidered if i should run a thicker oil or not. As the car doesnt consume any at 5/30.
Cheers
