For oil, I went with Mobil 1 0w20 AFE, but will probably switch to a 30 weight before my next track day. I think the manual still states a conventional 5w30 can be used if a synthetic 0w20 is not available, same as the 1st gen. FWIW that Mobil 1 oil is actually pretty stout for a 0w20 with a KV100 value of 8.8. The only 0w20 oil I've found that's thicker at high temp is Redline 0w20.
I did notice the reference of 5-30 in lieu of 0-20 syn. However I thought the literature from the manual of the Gen1 mentioned that 5-30 can be substituted for extreme driving conditions? I can be wrong though as it's been a while since I visited the manual of a Gen1.
