Q?
What’s the difference between racing oils and street oils?
-
A.
Simply, they are formulated differently. Most racing oils are meant for the performance requirements of racing engines subjected to high stresses, high temperature, and high RPM’s. Street vehicle oils for everyday driving conditions are focused on long drains and prevention of deposits and operation over wide temperature ranges and varying duty cycles.

Q?
What are some common myths associated with oils and lubricants, especially where racing is concerned? Please explain the myths and the proper solutions.
-
A.
Myth: You can use standard/street oil for racing applications.
Fact: In the last 10 years, standard/street oils have undergone major formulation and ingredient changes due to government regulations on emissions (EPA) standards. Most importantly, zinc levels, the key ingredient in engine anti-wear protection, have been significantly reduced in commercial motor oils. These products typically contain about 800 parts per million of zinc per quart of oil. For many racing applications, particularly flat tappet engines, this zinc level must be at least 2000 ppm of zinc per quart to ensure maximum anti-wear protection and to prevent engine breakdown or failure.
