Street oils have different additive packages than race oils because they are for different proposes and the engines are not serviced as often.
Things like detergents and friction modifiers in street oil are built around longevity (thousands of miles) not race capability (few hundred miles). The amount of these additives and which ones are based on data collection, years of research, and real world testing. I'm not saying Driven oil isn't good, just saying it may not be the best choice for street cars. |

Not the data you are looking for but seems to indicate they had street use in mind for the formulation. https://www.drivenracingoil.com/dt50-5w-50-...rmance-oil.html |
