no idea on what the manufacture thermal tolerances are.
But if i'm easily pulling 120c on just gohtong runs on purely stock form, i would assume its much higher than that.
train of thought: 2008 4B10 Mitsubishi engine is already specifying 0w20, albeit depending on higher temperature ranges, xw30 is called upon.
2012 FA20 Subaru engine is specifying 0w20 worldwide regardless of ambient/operating temperatures.
so, should be ok lol.
and yeah, what you mentioned on bolded.
nope, just wanted to make sure i don't blow up/melt my engine.

Yeah, but usually synthetic oil doesn't mind anything up to 150+ Celsius. But if i'm easily pulling 120c on just gohtong runs on purely stock form, i would assume its much higher than that.

Looking at the 4U GSE engine, light oil is good.
- It has thinner bearings
- The bearing tolerances are really tight from the factory
- Small piston ring gaps that favour thinner oil
- Roller rockers for the valve train (freakishly tight gap)
If anything I'd probably upgrade the oil pan for more oil and a lowered center of gravity.
