Living in a high temperate location seems like the higher viscosity CK-4 oils would be a better choice for me than the FA-4 oils particularly when used in a high output modified engine?
EJ25 +/-450 HP, oil cooler, AOS, TMIC, Mishi XL radiator, E85 flex. Summer temps regularly 100f, Winter temps rarely below 40 cold start.
Have not had bearing clearance conversation with machine shop yet, so have not put that variable into the discussion yet.

CK-4 oils are fine to run in an EJ.
