This is what my builder, Erik of HKE, recommends with this LSX427. It never gets below 30deg here, or rarely. Car is in the garage and that never gets below 40deg.

I think i will stick with his recommendation and run the 15W50. I have a case of the JoeGibbs HR3 15w50 full synthetic that i will run after the breakin with the JoeGibbs BR oil.

Thanks for this info, good stuff!
