well it was fun for a while i guess

Yeh that is very thin oil, good oil for a winter daily but a 8krpm weekend car...Hard driving will thin the oil out and im sure VVL is abit more hard on it's oil than a DE.
 
shit dude! im so sorry to hear! i just wish i was back in the uk to come on over!i shall cry mxself to sleep tonight over the damage!
 
15-40 is maybe a bit on the thick side for a modern chain driven engine. It won't leak because it's so thick but that doesn't mean the engine's getting lubed proper. I suppose it's less important if you're not abusing it right enough.

5-30 Semi in mine and it'll be having regular changes (6k or so). 0-30 shouldn't be too bad tbh.
 
thats when you find your cam will seize and then you lose power and then you just stop!

generally find itll be the inlet cam going first :)
