eneos 0w50
Is this oil to thick for track use? I was told it was ok but others has also told me it thick. Don't know what to think now

That grade is probably more suitable for a car that recommends 0W40 but has lower than desirable oil pressure running at track temps.
Sounds like overkill for our cars.

Very common in Japan also. It is preferred due to higher oil pressure, heat resistance etc.

There is such a thing as to high oil pressure BTW. I am running 0W40 on a stock engine with a supercharger installed. That's about as high overspec as I feel comfortable with.
