Good plan. Avoid oil additives, generally, they are just a waste of money, but they can also be harmful. https://www.opieoils.co.uk/t-car-engine-oil-additives-explained.aspx Cheers Tim

Interesting that you mention BMW, the reason the Castrol Edge (now Castrol Supercar) 10w-60 was recommended for the M cars is because that has an ester content. The ester content of oils help the VANOS systems as they cling to the workings, so you don't get the wear on cold starts which is what...

More like highly tuned track cars needing a rebuild every season with normal oils, or a rebuild every 3-4 seasons with an ester based oil. Cars losing all their oil, but not suffering any real damage as there is still a layer of oil in place with an ester oil. Engines running a few degrees...

That's fine, they can tell you that (odd that people at Castrol tell you that and then they use it themselves), but we find that ester oils can make a big difference.

It depends on what oil you use. Some people think it's best to use a budget oil and change it every track session, but to me, that's not a good plan as it won't protect as well and costs more in the long run than using a quality oil and changing it every few track days. The top end ester oils...

I thought the reason for the short filters was to compensate for lower oil pressure due to increased oil temps, I had no idea people associated higher oil pressure with more power. Higher oil pressure often means lower performance due to an overly thick oil being used. As for what filter...
