Based on pressures I've read I'm not convinced it's much good at protecting the engine under sustained high temp/load usage. I wouldn't say go crazy with oil weights here as clearances aren't going to be spec'd for super thick oil either until these engines get some wear into them and loosen up.
Of course Honda (well Honda Racing/HPD) engineers suggest we use heavier oil than the manual shows in my race car. Because of our bearing clearances and usage, we run 15W-50..
Regardless none of this banter is helping the OP. If there's real damage then cause can be examined.
Casso: Which tires are you running again? Big 255s? |
I was actually running 225/45/17 BfGoodrich R1'S, great tire but takes a long ass time to get up to temp, i wont go that wide until i go FI. Im sticking with 225-235 for now since im not sure a fatter tire will make this car faster.

Meh, i live in Texas and my car sits in my garage that is insulated with temperature and humidity control all year round. Plus 300v only comes in 5w-30 .
Well guys im making a trip to the dealer. I hope all goes well, ill keep you guys posted.
