Hello,

Does anyone used this kind of oil for racing?

Have no experience with that oil but I wouldn't use it simply because it's probably a Group III with some PAO and it's too large of a spread viscosity wise. I'd go with a 15w-50 Mobil 1 or Amsoil 20w-50. You could probably get away with using a Redline 10w-40 or Mobil 1 EP 10w-40 over the 50wt stuff, depending on the application of course. Any 0w-40 or 5w-50 is going to shear big time...

Do not use synthetic oils with methanol fuels.
