I'd go the 10W40. No sense in going against what the manufacturer specifies.
Oil is cheap man. Get yourself some Motul or Royal Purple :)

My Gruppe M is sitting at the post office, waiting to be picked up ;)

Nice :)

I actually already bought like 12 quarts of Redline 5w30 for like $130 so I was wondering if thats usuable, should have checked first but seems that I can run it since RPS.13 is using it in his EP3

Nice!

I still have a few litres of castrol edge to burn through though. Might try the calibre oil after the track day then. Seems damn cheap, plus you get 5.5 litres.

I normally get 20% off at Autobarn on the castrol oils, which I thought was cheap :(

NO SPEND $90 ON PREMIUM OIL! Then realise you're a ****ing idiot.

Apart from the grill and bumper on the FL version, is everything else the same cosmetic wise? For example to FL headlights fit pre-FL?

They fit, but requires some re-wiring.
