Auto x oil

For those that are auto crossing, are you running the specified 15w50 track oil, or sticking to the 5w30. Short runs, I would imagine it would be fine to run 5w30.

Thinking of participating in auto-x a bit this year. This could mean more seat time for less $, in between track days..or more $ long term if I am changing oil for auto-x events like you would for track days.

Advice is appreciated.

I haven't done it yet. There is Detroit SCCA and Saginaw Valley SCCA.

Detroit runs in Livonia and at MIS usually.

Saginaw runs at Midland/Barstow airport, Nexteer in Saginaw, and in Oskoda at the airport.

I believe the 28th for DRSCCA at MIS will utilize the road course too, which would definitely help my vision instead of a huge parking lot.
