Default engine oil

i know this answer has been covered alot, but wanted to know what oils you track guys are using?

and how often do you change? before every track day? or just follow intervals?

motul 300v also, but now i just use motul 8100 x-cess and it still holds up since i don't go as often and i use the car for daily driving also. it's good stuff.

i do want to look into eneos full synthetic as a friend can get a good price on it.

otherwise i've use the usual mobil-1 (not bad, but not great), royal purple (same deal), redline (actually pretty good but too pricey).

havent yet tried castrol edge (or the german one or whatever?) or pennzoil platinum which honda says works well for them. maybe if on sale one day at walmart lol.

shell rotella-t is supposed to be great too, but i think moreso for turbo applications (my friends with STI's use it often).

bobistheoilguy.com is your best source for info though.

Castrol GTX full synthetic 10w-40. The brand isn't really important, just go full synthetic and change it more often when tracking regularly. The S2000 can get so hot on the track the oil breaks down.

I have used redline for a long time but may start using brad penn grade

Penn grade oil comes from the OG Kendall well which is supposed to be the holy grail of engine oil.
I also have just been using wix black filters.
