Are these not problems with these cars? And are they not exasperated when you're running a turbo?
What I don't know, is what kind of oil temps these guys were running when experiencing those problems.
So - what is the safe temp range? And at what temp should I be immediately pulling into the pits?
I will be running full synthetic - either Mobil 1 or Royal Purple.

If your pil cooler can keep oil temps below about 115C you should be ok . With low viscosity oils
Most guys with FI usually run 5w30 or 0w30 or 5w40 0w40
