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

Go get " calibre full synth. 5-30" from
Super cheap auto. Like $38-40 for 5.5l , same shit as castrol edge and Honda premium FEO. ( made by caltex)

Been using it all my ep3's life on the track , no issues

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.
