Idemitsu extreme 10w-50 is also good if you ask me. on track, off track same same.

GB now using castrol. heavier, but less 'crunch' sound when shifting if use motul.

I use mobil semi-syn 10w-40 only.... And kaaz gear oil...

One thing I've been unable to notice: the difference of performance between different brands of 5w-40 ................ i suspect brand name vs performance is partly psychological.

I'm running 5w-50 myself. used to use both 5w-40 and 0w-50 ........ all ok for the engine

There's performance difference and it ranges from one engine oil to another like some u'll feel only minimal diff. and some of it u can feel quite significant. I experienced it last time with my previous dc2, when i changed to Selenia racing oil, there were significant difference in performance. Haven't tried on dc5 yet. I heard also Torco and Eneos good for k20a.

Anybody tried the lowest visco engine oil in their K20A ? The 0W-30. Should be the lightest.
