You need something approved for daily. No Redline performance series is approved for anything.
Again, something lighter but not too light with actual approvals, mainly MB229.5 (most comprehensive approval).
What if it's changed every 4-5K?
Maybe, maybe. But your oil temperatures really want traditional street oil. Track? Absolutely! Actually with those oil temperatures you don't need on track anything more than Redline 5W30.
I know people like Redline bcs. you know exotic oil, etc. but seriously, you would be better running that Castrol Edge 0W30. Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W40 is very, very thin 40 grade. Some VOA show actually in 30 grade when fresh. That is really good oil.
I mean, by all means try Redline, but do UOA at 5k including TAN measurement.
