Moty's Engine Oil / Racing Oil

[NewCivicRs]

Hello, what do you think about Moty's Racing Oil? It is made in japan.

Did anyone of you ever use this oil for either CIVIC FK7 or FK8? How does it feel?

First, do you need another oil brand than those easily available in any store ?

I am using AMSOIL Signature but I am thinking about MOTY'S.

What do you think?

To me any approved oil for our Civic do the job.
Most of the time I use Penzoil Platinum always in sale in my area
Most important is to change oil more than less for a fresh oil

The problem is the available viscosity of MOTYS Racing Oil is 5W40 for the thinnest. There are 0W20 and 5W30 but available as regular, not racing.
So it contains less wear protection additive.
My concern is, what do you think about 5W40 thicker oil for our CIVIC?
It is API SM Grade, below API SN.

My CIVIC is tuned already and it is in Indonesia, warm temperature.

I follow what Honda write in owner manual.
Here in Quebec, we may have very warm temperature in summer with 30 C / 86 F

I run Eneos (also made in Japan) 0w20 on a 400whp+ FBO FK8.
