Oil Viscosity for the 2.0L i4 - Track Use

[gcmak]

How's 0w20 holding up on track? Has anyone experienced oil burning or sent off their oil for analysis after 1 or more events?
Related, has anyone gone up in viscosity, what did you move to and how's it been?

Sharing my break-in oil change analysis.
Will follow-up when I have a second one.

When I bought my I-4 a month ago, dealer service said their rep told them to use 0-40 in all cars (not just for track use), and I got a pic of the carton, Valvoline Full Synthetic European Vehicle, 852518. I have been using Motul 0-40 for years in track cars, so this sounded good to me and I am using the Valvoline in the Emira.

that's interesting they said to use it for all cars.

Second analysis is in and honestly looking just fine. Seems like the cooling is sufficient and the Motul 0w20 held up (more additives than factory), and of course due to the coolers, there's still residual factory oil in the system.
