No worries at all. Ty for all the updates. It is understandable these things take time, fitting, adjustments to get just right.

If you are going to track your car, you should be more concerned with protecting the engine components so you do not have to worry about things going wrong.
Oil temps soaring to 260 degrees PLUS is a problem!! While we were stopped at Carolina Motorsports Park during the OLOA event... another C63 driver who had been following us come over to our garage area to inquire how we were able to run so hard in the earlier session without issue. He stated that his best attempt is two, maybe three laps before his car goes from Manual to Sport then locks him in 7th gear shut-down always within 5-7 laps of hard driving. What I asked him first was what oil is he running... to which his reply was the Mobil1 factory spec. Simple problem... replace the oil.
What many of you die-hard warranty book followers do not get is that Mobil1 spends millions of dollars to get that factory spec fill to increase their sales. BMW bought into it back in 2001 and ate the farm when their engines started coming apart. My M3 spun a bearing and I was told it was from abuse, warranty denied. It took a class action suit to get BMW to admit it was their Mobil1 oil and since then, the fix was a switch to Castrol. Even still... the clingy film properties of the TWS 0-60W is a band-aid and a thick one at that!!
So run what you want... it will be the burden of the manufacturer/dealer to prove your oil caused the failure and with technology the way it is today, many so-called oil failures are truly found out to be caused by something entirely unrelated to lubrication. If you care about your engine, taking the steps to protect it are not really that difficult. Relying on a lawyer and salesman to dictate the owners manual specs is not how I care for my cars... testing proves what works and I feel we covered it quite well.

Oil is not going to reduce the temperatures of oil. I have used Mobli 1. Redline, Amsoil, Royal Purple, and a host of others, all synthetics in race cars and street driven custom cars for years. If you want to talk about protection and viscosity, no problem, but don't you DARE say to me and others that changing the oil will reduce oil and engine temperatures.
Unless Royal Purple made an oil with tiny fans as molecules, this is 100 percent

I agree with this assessment. The first time I read this I thought BS, but then I read it again and realized that there were two mods done, new oil and a divider in front of the radiator. So I think that the divider is the reason for the lower oil temps, certainly not the oil.
Yes exactly, but I have seen this OP claim that the oil also makes a big difference in another thread, but still says it here too. It just doesn't.
I hate people who lie and claim stuff that isn't even close to being true just to sell a product. One of my biggest pet peeves I guess.

Yes, the right oil drops temperatures 30 degrees. And engines need back pressure in the exhaust, too, to run well!

Quick update. For those of you who think this will help you in summer heat, think again. I was just at NJMP this morning for a trackday on their Lightning course. My 44O kit has not yet been installed, but I thought I would make the drive and hope that early morning temps would be low enough for me to get a few sessions in. Well, by the time I got out on track, it was already 92F. I got 3 laps in (it's a short track) and the car went into limp mode at 275F. Tried to get back on it after cooling for a few turns, and hit limp mode in another half lap. I drove off the track, packed up my things, and drove home. So annoyed.
Anyway, this air guide works really well in the spring and fall, when the temps are at or below 80F or so. Also seems to be a benefit on long high-speed tracks, even up to about 90F. Once you get much above 90F though, forget about it, the air guide does practically nothing.
