Racing Engine Oil
High-quality racing engine oil is the lifeblood that keeps your race car running in peak condition on the track. That’s why we carry high-performance engine oil from the top brands in racing, including Driven by Joe Gibbs, VP Racing Fuel, and Maxima. Racing engine oil is formulated with anti-wear and friction-reducing additives that lubricate all of the moving parts inside your engine to help prevent damage and deterioration when temperatures and RPM climb. We offer a variety of weights and viscosities to suit your engine’s needs, whether you prefer synthetic engine oil, semi-synthetic blends, or non-synthetic varieties. The right racing engine oil helps maintain oil pressure, reduce friction, and protect components under extreme racing conditions. Keep your engine running smoothly through heat, cold, and humidity when you choose from the selection of racing oils available at Behrent’s.

Frequently Asked Questions About Racing Engine Oil
What is the difference between synthetic, semi-synthetic, and non-synthetic engine oil?
- Non-synthetic engine oil, also called conventional oil, is made from refined crude oil.
- Synthetic engine oil is a highly engineered lubricant created by refining and modifying base oils and combining them with advanced additives to provide increased protection and performance.
- Semi-synthetic or synthetic blend oil combines conventional oil with a synthetic base stock to deliver improved protection and performance compared to conventional oil alone.
Why do race cars use thicker oils?
Race cars often use thicker engine oil to help protect internal components under extreme temperatures and loads experienced on the track. As temperatures rise, oil naturally thins. A heavier-viscosity racing engine oil helps maintain proper lubrication and oil pressure when engines are operating at sustained high RPM.
How often should you change your engine oil in a race car?
How often you should change your racing engine oil depends on several factors, including whether you’re using synthetic or non-synthetic engine oil, track conditions, and engine load. Dirt tracks can introduce more contaminants, which may require more frequent oil changes. Some teams change oil after every race, while others change the filter and top off fluids regularly and perform a full oil change after several race nights or around 500 laps.
Is racing oil only for professional race cars?
No. Racing engine oil is used by drivers at every level of motorsports, from local dirt track racers to professional teams. Any high-performance engine operating under extreme heat, load, and RPM can benefit from the added protection and lubrication provided by quality oil.
What viscosity is best for racing engines?
The best viscosity for racing oil depends on the engine design, operating temperature, and manufacturer recommendations. Many racing engines run heavier viscosities to maintain protection under high heat and load, but the correct oil weight should always follow the engine builder’s specifications for optimal performance and reliability.
