In comparison, the OEM 0w20 was black and loose after about 3000 miles.
I've gone back and forth a bit on what exact weight to run, but right now I'm swinging back towards running a 0w20 or 5w20 for street use. If you are going to be tracking it extensively, or are in extreme heat conditions, heavier weight oil is certainly viable - or just do shorter oil change intervals.

Any luck on finding the ideal weight for spirited daily driving as well as autocross?
