You should be fine with 5W30. Invest in a simple oil cooler (Forester XT DIY or Cusco) to prolong health of engine in hot temps.

Ading to what mav said, any major brand full synthetic should be fine, I also recommend an oil cooler.

I always recommend high quality oil for tracking as it will effectively continue to lubricate your engine properly at elevated temperatures. Motul 300V 0W20 for tracking and DD. Motul 8100 0W20 for spirited driving and DD. ![]() |
