I did quite a bit of research in this area. I ended up going with Rotella T6 full synthetic 5-40. So far I have had no problems with this oil. I think that the best thing you can do for your engine, though, is to change the oil often. The oil is servicing the clutch, transmission and engines that turn up to 13k. That is asking alot of an oil. I change every three months or 3k miles at least. I also do track days, and think that it is good insurance to change filter and oil more often if you are doing track days. Maybe it is overkill; but I think the price of an oil change is worth it considering how much engine damage would cost.

That'll do. In fact pretty much anything 10W/40 Semi upwards will do if you follow the change intervals. If you want to leave it in a long time or spend a lot of time at high revs on the track a full synth might be better.
