Joe Gibbs driven racing oils are formulated specifically for
racing engines. Today's passenger car motor oils are designed to
protect catalytic converters. Joe Gibbs driven oils are designed
to protect your camshaft. Federal EPA requirements have led to a
reduction in anti-wear chemistries like zinc, phosphorus and
sulfur in API rated engine oils. As a result, the oil you buy
today is not the same as it was 10 years ago. While this is good
for your street car, it is bad news for your racing engine.
Racing engines see more RPM and higher loads compared to street
engines, so a racing engine requires higher levels of zinc,
phosphorus, sulfur and other additives to prevent premature part
failure. This is especially true in flat-tappet engines. Joe
Gibbs driven racing oil contains all of the correct additives,
like zinc, phosphorus and sulfur in addition to the highest
quality base oils to protect your engine. The NA championship
winning formula protects flat-tappet engines at 9,000 RPM for
over 500 miles of competition, and Joe Gibbs oils are used by
other championship winning engine builders to conquer the
grueling 24 hours of Daytona and the Baja 1000. Joe Gibbs offers
a variety of oil viscosities to fit various engine builds and
operating temps.

Motor oil is made from crude oil and is used to lubricate, clean,
and cool engines. Types of motor oil include conventional,
synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and
synthetic), and recycled oils. Motor oil varies in weight and
viscosity, as well as additives that some manufacturers add to
the oil during the refining process. A numerical code system
created by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades motor
oils according to viscosity--the higher the number between 0 and
60, the more viscous (thicker) the oil is. Most consumer motor
oils are graded by two numbers, with the first number indicating
cold weather (Winter or "W") performance.
SAE 15W-50
----------
This oil has a weight of SAE 15W-50, meaning it has an SAE
viscosity rating of 15 in cold temperatures and a rating of 50 at
normal operating temperature. Always check your vehicle's owner's
manual to verify that this is the correct weight of motor oil for
your vehicle.
Conventional Motor Oil
----------------------
This oil is a conventional motor oil, meaning it is refined from
crude oil or petroleum products. Conventional motor oils may or
may not have additives included after refining. Conventional
motor oils are more versatile than synthetic or hybrid motor
oils, because they are suitable for use with nearly all types of
modern vehicle engines, from cars and trucks to motorcycles,
ATVs, farm equipment, and more.
Racing Oil
----------
Racing oils are designed for track cars and other types of
high-compression vehicles intended for motorsports competition.
They contain particular additives for increased engine horsepower
and reduced friction on metal parts, and provide special
protection for engines with high compression or higher
horsepower. Racing oils usually include fewer detergents than
regular conventional motor oils.
Please note that many, if not all, oils labelled as racing oils
are not street legal, and it is not recommended to put racing oil
in a conventional passenger vehicle. Make sure to double-check
the product label as well as the specifications of your vehicle
to ensure proper usage.
