Looks like it’s pretty well understood 0W-20 (the recommended oil) gets thin at high temps based on its viscosity.

Spoke with a gen 1 owner who mentioned only in the summer when doing track and autocross days he switches to 5w30 in stead of 0w20. Anyone doing the same by chance? His cars at 100k+ of beating the hell out of it.
