Do you look at the viscosity index value when buying an oil?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_Index
Some VI values:
Castrol SLX 0W30 195
Motul 8100 0W40 187
Mobil 1 0W30 169
Mobil 1 0W40 187
Motul 300V 5W30 162
Motul 300V 5W40 176
I read that the 300V line is a very good racing oil. Is it suitable for street?

I only use Castrol SLX 0W30 (german).
Notice that it is the only one 0W30 that meets ACEA A3/B3 = high performance oil, it is API SL and has the highest Viscosity index.
The only thing I do not know is if 0W30 is too thin for the Evo engine.
