Track day oil for 172

[Alex williams]

Good morning everyone!
Can someone help me with what oil is best for track usage, looking at millers cfs, but could I use silkolene ( Fuchs ) racing oil instead, what do you all use and where do you get it from? Please help before I buy today!

I use this in my 172.

Ok great any issues?

That's the best oil you can use in a Clio 1*2. I stuck some in my old trophy and couldn't believe how much it quietend down the engine. Was mighty impressed. Seemed to run very smooth

Millers CFS and Fuchs Titan race are both very good oils, I've never tried the Millers buta friend of mine uses it in his BMW S50 motor which is very tired and its still going strong on it. Looking at its stats it looks like it can handle higher temepretures than the Fuchs (small amount though). If you are doing longer than 10-15 minute stints on track i would lean towards a 10w50 oil unless you are running an oil cooler.

Pretty sure the F4R doesn't like Castrol stuff, or so I've heard on here, not that I've used it myself.

11 track days (and some road miles) in, no complaints. :smile:

Have used 300V before in other cars, excellent stuff! What grade are you using?

 

[Cupman29]

On the Clio when it was NA and used on the road and track it was 5w40. When it became only for track use and turbo'd it uses 15w50 competition and I use 10w40 chrono on my Impreza p1 which is for road use and mildly modified.

Think I'll go with 10w40 Chrono for trackdays with a 182 on 108K miles

Good choice IMO.
