I agree about driving within my limits. That being said, I know that I have a tendency to push a little to improve, I will make more of a effort of this time keeping the limit a little bit further down.
What is the problem with running a higher temp for a total time of 20 minutes tops (assuming that 60 or 70 percent of the time on the track the oil temp will be in the normal range) as long as the pressure stays normal. I personally would rather change my oil after a track day, then go to the expense and work of adding an oil cooler just for the 3 days a year.
I have some very good video, it is currently being edited by one of my friends, I used the Drift HD170 with a remote mic ( would highly recommend over a GoPro) and I have 4 different camera and mic placements.
Will post as soon as finished. |
For 3 or 4 track days a year,as long as your oil pressure is good don't worry about it,use a good
synthetic oil and you'll be fine,
synthetic oil is good for up to 300 degrees....oil temp is directly related to rpms, higher rpms,higher oil temp, you could always lower your shift point by 500 or so rpms, this might help keep the oil temp down some, but overall, you'll be fine....not a bad idea to do an oil change after a hard track day.......
