ew what, nulon?

i'd probably switch to the "motal" which is in fact motul, but there's a lot of choice out there

and if you're burning quickly yes try something heavier like a 10w-40

You done a few track days right? You will burn more oil doing that.

If its low like that again and you have no oil at home you can top it up with full cream milk and go get some oil......
