[QUOTE="sonic cobra, post: 12680204, member: 5649"] Jimmy, I've been pondering this for some time now. As you know our terminators are supposed to use 5w20. I have been tracking my Cobra since new using Amsoil 0w30 full synthetic oil the entire time. I am now running new billet gears in the stock oil pump housing and last fall my oil pressure was 80psi on my speedhut guage at 3000 rpms and 183*F on my aeroforce OBD guage. All I have read would agree with your suggestions. That is going to the lighter 5w20 weight oil which would circulate faster and improve cooling to some degree. You know these cars run real hot on track and I could use all the cooling efficiency I can find, but I just can't bring myself to go to the thinner oil. I've already had to rebuild the motor once due to excessive heat issues. [/QUOTE]
