Rating 4.5

Using Redline racing 50W in a SCCA 1.6L production engine with an oil temp of about 210 to 215 degree (F) on a hot southeastern race weekend. Hot oil pressure is about 70 to 75 psi at WOT and about 30 psi after a session in the paddock prior to shut down.

Pros: good oil pressure

AMSOIL Engine oil

With the AMS and a 20 row cooler my temps stick at 190-200 dependant on ambient temps thus far.

Pros: stable temperatures
Cons: little thin for warm weather

For the past 5 seasons, I've been running 5w-30 Mobil 1 but recently switched to Red Line 30 Wt with no ill effects. Typical oil temps (racing on in the Mid-Atlantic area with temperatures and humidity in the 90s) are 250ish with 30-45 PSI hot oil pressure at full chat.

Pros: no ill effects
Vehicle: Volkswagen

AMSOIL Engine oil

Stick with the synthetic. The tiny turbos on the TDI's are heavily stressed and mineral oils are just not up to the task of protecting the bearings in the turbo.

Pros: protecting the bearings
Cons: mineral oils not up to task
