It would be a good idea yes, as the temps will obviously be a lot higher than normal.

I just use the stuff that comes in the service kit from ECP if its clean and topped up its all good for me.

Civic used to run 0w 40 mobil one which was silly expensive and it used to burn a shit load on track

VTS burns sweet fa no matter how you drive it

Drives supercharged Tec with torque
