I've been using Redline ester-based High Performance 5w-30 & 40, changing every 6-8K km. I do around 12 tracks days a year plus a few trips to country/mountain roads where we can be going full-on for 70km stints. The Redline is harder to source & cost isn't a concern if it's better as I'm keeping the car forever  |
Yup that's the oil, I believe PPE 5w40 is a derivative of shell helix ultra so if anything the shell product might even be slightly better.
If you track that much make sure your OCI is a but lower, take a used oil analysis to make sure there isn't too much degredation on the oil after track days so you don't run old oil on the street for too long. Also if you're pushing pretty hard on track maybe use some motul sport oil or 300v just for the track, again a UOA will tell you more. But that will depend, I personally think you should be ok with street oil if you're not extremely heavily modified - again a used oil analysis will tell you more.
