Don't use 0w40 - way too thin.

I tried Mobile 1 15w50 motorsport but now use Castrol Edge 10w60.

My mate was running 0/40 in his Escort Cosworth and there was next to no oil pressure when warm

Got Mobil one Motorsport in it now and has good pressure

i have tried Mobil one motorsport, castrol RS and the new edge and now run silkolene pro S.

The oil pressure is a bit lower with the silkolene and it runs a bit hotter but doesnt seem to use as much as the other oils.

Valvoline 10W60 here, it stands heat a bit better than the castrol. Castrol burns (not in flames, but loosing it's oily properties) @ 124 degrees C and Valvoline @ 138 C. Driving trackdays, that could mean an important difference.
