Correct -- no markup at all. Local dealer sells at MSRP only. I believe the car was $29k with a GR shift knob for options and a 200 or 300 dollar dealer charge. Ended up at $29.5k all said and done. ...

If your max oil temp is 235, then a 40w seems a bit thick to me. Personally, I'd look at a viscosity chart and aim to have a similar viscosity at track temps as a street car would on 0w-20.
