It wouldn't be a bad idea to change the oil after your track day whichever you choose, but you've got nothing to lose by running 5W30. It shouldn't be too warm out, but periods of extended high-RPM...

Yep, then put one of those countersinks into the tailstock, turn at about 60-80 RPM, and you won't have any problem reusing the old threads.
