It's a precaution because track condition are more severe.

Funny thing is, technically the warranty is void when you have an issue due to racing. Lol. Why should they care?

I got a little better pricing from the Frisco Ford dealer's parts department last time I bought 5w-50.
I'm track pack too, and I'm stickin' with Motorcraft.

Oil Anlysis
For everday driving 5W20 is good, if you take it to the track/course or whatever a thicker wieght would be the choice.
If anyone wants a to take there oil anlysis to the next level let me know. On the weekend once a month (Drill for the USAFR) I can burn a JOAP of your oil sample.
We do this after every flight on the F-16 to give us info on the engine.

Should have remembered to check. I went down to 5-star in Carrollton yesterday and they've jacked the price up from $9.90/qt to $14.84/qt. Crazy!!! Bought it online for just under $10/qt.
