So for some reason the racing oil does not have the additives for multiple starts (heatup and cooldown cycles)

Is there an additive that helps/protects oil from cool down cycles.

I would think with a certain degree of certainty, that oil in ANY form, benefits from cooling down to maintain it's ultimate lubrication properties without the need for an additive to help achieve it.

I thought maybe incorrectly that the only way to cool oil was either by contact with cooler air or a cooler liquid.

Is there such a chemical that can be added to oil to help cool it?...Mark
