Redline 5w30 + vented hood + 25 row Z1 oil cooler. No issues so far. Knock on wood.

What type of ticking are you hearing and what are your temps?

temps arent that high actually 220-240. i always hear it after a hard session and pretty much all the time. guys from z1 said the vvel system is usually very noisy but it wouldnt hurt to upgrade oil

220-240. You ain’t running the car hard. Me and ssfirehawk run between 260-280 no issues. 2 straight track days in 95 degree heat with 80-90% humidity.

Our front end is ducted with a 72 row oil
Cooler. Not trying to bash you. Running 220-240. What is your set up.

CJM baffled oil pan adds half qt of capacity and has heat sinks on the bottom, on top of the baffles.

Probably would help with oil temps

i think this is definitely going to help. well see how it does with the 5w40 and vented hood

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the hood is gonna make a big difference

for example, the trackspec users report drops of 10-15 deg on the street and 20 deg on the track

Yay! Trackspec!

Nice, I can’t wait to see how it turns out. I’ll be going to streets of willow in early April, I’ll let you know how it goes! That’s substantial

Yep, open up the hood and let the heat out. Also, some have relocated their oil cooler so that it is getting more direct air flow. If your water temps are staying cool, as stated above you are good even at 285. The motor will pull some timing and performance will be down, but you aren't in harms way. Just make sure you change your oil before the next event.

Agreed! Get them hood vents installed and do a cool down lap or two. With the hood vents, I saw my temps fall immediately doing a cool down lap. Also, when you get back to the paddock, leave the car running and left the hood for 5 minutes or so.
