Most "racing" oils have ZDDP levels higher than the oils back before emissions got involved.
Driven Racing Oil used to be Joe Gibbs Racing oil It's custom made by Lubrizol https://www.lubrizol.com/Lubricant-and-Fuel-Additives Looks like their formulations lack the normal detergents in the additive package (who doesn't like deposits in their engines? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)) Loaded with ZDDP Unless someone independent of Jake or Driven wants to run it and then send it out for analysis after 3k miles I would not consider this a street oil, racing would be fine due to frequent changes and engine refreshes. |

Not to start a S--T Storm, but what are your "Oil Expert" credentials? We are all highly opinionated individuals on this board, and I know oil is like religion so try to be helpful. I know that you did not build a camshaft "Spinatron" to test almost every oil in search of the answer as to why cams and lifters suddenly started failing. Jake and Charles did. You did not post the results to the board as Jake and Charles did. The recommendation to use Brad Penn 10-15 yrs ago came from Jake and Charles, they had no financial interest in making that recommendation, just the interest of the community. The Driven oil project came about because Brad Penn's formulation changed and Jake thought he could do better. Driven DT-50 (and only DT-50) became Jake's aircooled go to oil. In spite of your opinion DT-50 is not a racing oil. Driven makes a lot of racing oils, but DT-50 isn't one of them. So,MY opinion is use DT-50. I've used it since 2013 with good results. Remember, it's your money and your engine. You pays your money and you takes your choice. Choose wisely. |
