I run a w 40 in the summer.
Its just my preference I like to keep the oil pressure up. I don't want to get into a debate about this again. I am simply stating what I use.
mobil one, red line, or royal purple. I am going to take some other members advice and run a 0w20 oil in the cooler months and send some samples off.

5-30 mobil 1. I used to run 15-50 on my turbo miata but it always had high oil temps so I ran the thicker oil to keep the pressure up during hard runs and whatnot.
