- GC 0W-30
- Any non-300V Motul. The X-cess 5W-40?
- RLI Biosyn 5W-40 HD

Thanks!
I received 12 bottles of GC 0w 30 earlier this year. Haven't changed the oil yet to it as my first track day isn't till early June. I've heard it keeps the engine cooler, but I have the N55. I'll report back after my first track day. I did not experience limp mode in any of my track days last year with Mobil 1 0w 40. Then again the hottest track day I had was in the upper 80s. Think my oil temp hit close to 270 if I remember right.
