Hi guys, im gonna do a track day next week. i just want to know what oil u guys are running. i've got a b16a with 140 on the clock. i do my oil change every 5 thousand k's, so it's in a good nick. Cheers.
Just normal quality oil will do the trick as long as its not too thin for the car - something like 10/40 or 20/50 will be fine. Do a clean oil change just before the track day, top it up no more than 5mm over the MAX mark and you should be fine. Don't do more than 5 hot laps at a time... give the car time to cool down.

I used Castrol Edge Sport 0w-40 and it was good. Didn't burn any oil. Now I'm using Motul 8100 xcess 5w-40.

viscosity depends on the age and condition of the motor.
A b16a with 140,000km shouldn't use a 20w-50 oil. For that age, a 5w-40 or 10w-40 oil is better.
Remember to put in some good fluids for your brakes as well!

i always use 0-30 and my b16 has done 145 thousand and doesn't eat any oil at all.

OEM (rated) fluids should be fine !!! FEO is 10-30 y0 and ive never seen any use on the track.
