You will be fine. The nitrous may cause higher temps in the engine but not ver a long enough time to justify a higher weight oil.

I also change mine more often. Every other track visit if I am spraying but it probably isnt needed that much.

This thread took an awfull turn somewhere...



When I race Noyzee, I'm going to be wearing nothing but a SFI fire jacket and helmet! Thats some weight savings, plus I'm filling the interior of the car up with helium, no need for that heavy atmosheric air in my ride!
