Why don't you go for a full synthetic like 15w-50 mobil1 or castrol edge etc?
It's designed for highly strung engines (ie. Maclaren use mobil1 in their formula 1 engines).

Better cold anti-wear protection, 4 times stronger film strength than mineral oil when hot.

Why run a multi viscosity mineral oil?

u dont run full synthetic until atleast 10,000kms.. My built 2.5 engine has only done 3k max, so need to use a mineral oil until then.

If i could go with another oil it would be motul..

And u cant compare a race engine to an everyday engine... its like me saying that i should increase my rpm to 12,000 because formula 1 engines can do it....
