if it's fully synthetic and for track use then yes it'll be good, not so great for a daily.

I used Castrol RS 10W/60 in my trackcar RST and never had a problem.

You have low oil pressure at idle, fans coming on drop idle a bit lower.............. bottom end rebuild is most likely on the cards mate
