[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 14460018, member: 155561"] I run Amsoil ATM 10w-30 in my '13, which does not have the piston jets, so i'm not sure if it will be right for you. Doing a lot of looking and reading, it appears the GT does not suffer from the same Oil temp issues as the Boss because we operate at much lower RPMS. very rarely do i go over 7k, and often times will shift a hair before that for the sake of heat, and i still have PLENTY of passing power and grunt on track. I have yet to get out to the track when it was over 90*, but my coolant temps never even get past the middle ... not sure how that correlates to oil, but it seems like the motor is staying cool. Here is what unleashed Beast sent me when i was asking him about oil for road courses: Use this list. You need Amsoil ATM 10W-30, assuming you are not performing 20-30 minute road course sessions. This recommendation list will cover all seasons for your car, from the harshest winter days, to the hottest summer days. The best part is, the oil only has to be changed once a year, or 15,000 miles, whichever occur first. *RD30 must be changed every 6 months or 5,000 miles* 8 quart fill – GT 8.5 quart fill – Boss 302 and Track Pack GT Amsoil ALM 5W-20 – If your car is 100% stock, never raced, driven like a grandma, or short trip driven, no matter the climate….use this. Amsoil AZO 0W-30 - If your car is driven year round up north in very cold temperatures with bolt on mods, raced during the summer, and you want one oil for year round use....use this. Amsoil ATM 10W-30 - If your car is moderate to heavily modded, used in hotter climate states, or never driven during winter months in northern states...use this. *If you always short trip the car, use Amsoil AZO or ALM instead (never get the oil up to full temperature)* Amsoil AMO 10W-40 - If you have a Boss 302 or Track Pack GT, and you road race your car....use this. *Boss 302 and Track Pack GT owners - If you do not road race your car, use Amsoil ATM 10W-30. 5W-50 spec for this engine is overkill and results in excessive oil pressure.* Amsoil RD30 10W-30 - If your car is modded to the max and producing HP beyond 600 rwhp, especially E85 fuel engines...use this. Amsoil EaO17 - This oil filter outperforms any filter on the market. Amsoil Synchromesh - requires 3 quarts. Use this if you road race your car, or you are experiencing grinding. If you have the Auto 6 speed, this stuff will survive the worst torture. Amsoil LV Synthetic ATF - 12 quart total fill and for the rear differential Amsoil 75W-140 - requires 3 quarts Don't forget the friction modifier Amsoil Slip Lock - use all four ounces *Boss 302 and Track Pack GT owners. If you have the Torsen differential in your car, do not use friction modifier.* According to this, i should be using a 10w-40 (even though i am a Base GT), but since i only track every other month, i figure the ATM 10w-30 is still a "good enough" Oil for light track duty.
