Hi V2
Do a search There has been some very informative posts about oils recently . Personally the only concern with your choice of oil I would have is the 15w rating from what I have read, And I may well be corrected . It will not give the best startup/cold weather protection, so just make sure you fully warm up your engine before any spirited driving
Regards Matt

What does that 15W mean? I use Mobil One 15W / 50 in my track day classic that has been slightly modified to produce around 320 BHP - I dont use the car for much else, but do drive to events summer and colder winter months.

15w stands for the viscosity of the oil at cold temprtures for a full explanation do a search of "16 important OIL questions answered! .
As a general rule for performance cars should run a fully synthetic 5 or 10w -40w
