Allow me to direct you to the correct subforum, with particular attention to this thread, where all that information has been discussed in depth.

0W-20. It's what the manufacturer recommends. I don't think we would know better than the people who built the engine. That smiley doe. Ahaha.

If they believed the car needed a higher viscosity oil, they would had put in something else. Fact is: They engineered the engine, they know what the engine needs, they know what's best. 0W-20. /endthread.

Otherwise I agree with you completely, this is a discussion for either the track sub-forum or the maintenance sub-forum for when you decide to deviate outside average driving conditions. |

^This. Stop worrying and drive your car and put in 0w-20. Even autocross is less than 1-2 minutes long your oil isn't going to get hot enough before you wait again to matter. Now long sessions on a road course are a different story... |
