Just picked up a 97 Cobra with 110K, I was curious what is a safe oil weight to use?

lets really have some fun and power gains mobile one sythetic 0w-30 or even 0w_20 the first number indicates oil thickness at zero degrees ie 5w is 5% thicker at zero 20w is 20% thicker 0w flows the same at zero than at 100 degres so less oil drag when cold the last number is how fast i flows at 100 deg. the lower the number the faster it flows nascar runs 0w-20 to maximize power cause it takes power too pump the oil the thiner the oil the less power it takes to pump and less power it robs from the engine 5w-30 is what it calls for but for it is perfectly safe too run 10w-30 and even 0w-20
we will all have our day in court (tickets suck)
