Personally if it says not recommended for use in a road car then I wouldn't put it in.

Why not look at the offerings from Silkolene or Millers?

Been using that on Opie's recommendation for a year or so now. Mine gets quite a bit of abuse from time to time.

Was told it offered the same protection as the titan fuchs/millers etc.

i have to be honest that they told me not to use comma 10/40 semi synthetic.... mines just knocked over 145,000miles and the turbo nor block have been apart and its had some serious track use and Nurburgring use over the 85k ive owned it so i still stick with using that as i change it every 3k too
