It seems the recommended oil is too thin, most have switched to 0W-40 or 5w-30. Also searched a bit on the forums and found that the ideal street oil temps are between 170-190 for street use. While 200-230 seems to be the consensus on oil temp for track use. An interesting thing I found was there is such a thing as too big of a radiator. Just some cents for people looking for better cooling options. More info here:
