Re: Potential Buy 1997 GSX

That's a fairly heavy race inspired oil. If this thing is going to see the track a lot, run high engine oil temps with back to back runs or constant road course driving, then yeah I can see running an oil like that. On a car that you're going to start up regulary on a brisk morning, drive it to work in back, maybe do some spirited driving here and there, I personally wouldn't run that. I still run 5W-30 in my car. I'd stick with something in the 30-40 weight range. Filter, just get something like a Wix or Napa Gold.
