Too thick when cold. Is it your daily car? Would stay with a good Fuchs Titan Super Syn 5W-50 or Mobil 1 5W-50 with short change intervalls. More than enough. Road cars (even when driven hard) don't need pure "racing" oils tbh, sometimes they will do more harm than good.

Default car

its not a daily-just a weekend/hobby car
i used pro s in my previous car but was given the pro r from a friend..
it will have to go somewhere eventually-just as long as it does no harm
my car wont be used in winter either...

Oil is simple first number how it flows when cold. 15w is good too -10 10w is good to -20 5w is good -30. Second number is how thick it is when warm.
A 10w50 is just right not to thin when warm and still good for as cold as your ever be using your yb in the uk lol
