I also plan to do some canyon runs in the future.
What would be your advice and what are the advantages of running 5W30 over 0W20? All I can recall is that the BRZ manual recommends it for high performance driving.

For me personally, I'd switch to 5W30 for a track day, but in daily driving I rarely see my oil temps above 220F.
