To the OP- I would definitely get an oil cooler if you're going to track your car. The stock 2012 oil cooler is insufficient for track duty. It's barely passable for hard street use.

There are 19, 25, and 34 row coolers that are out there. If you're going to track during the summer months, I would definitely go with the 34 row.

As for oil, if you stick with a synthetic and change it regularly- you'll be fine. If you want to spring for the expensive stuff that's ok, but Mobil 1 at Costco is super cheap and it'll work for track duty. Getting an oil cooler will enable your oil to last longer between changes as well.
