Can you run a heavier oil, like 10w 40 20w 50 15w 40? Oil temps getting hot and thinning oil>

Then take a peak in the Maintenance Forum. You will get more help there, then you would in the performance section for this kind of stuff.

Try running an oil cooler instead. Why do I get the weirdest feeling that this is for a circle track car and you cant run an oil cooler.

FYI... W = Winter. So that number doesn't mean a whole lot.... at least right now. As far as running a heaver oil, are you having a problem with loss of oil pressure? If so, switch the oil to something heavier, then put the car on Craigslist.
