Product Information

Full details

The Driven Racing Oil XP4 Mineral Race 15W50 is designed for racers seeking cost-effective engine protection, particularly for applications with frequent oil changes like dirt and nitrous racing. Its high zinc, mineral formula offers excellent wear protection for engines with flat tappet camshafts and those using nitrous or alcohol fuels. A key caveat is its non-synthetic nature, which may require more frequent changes than synthetic alternatives in certain high-performance scenarios.

FAQs

Is this oil suitable for daily driving?

No, Driven Racing Oil XP4 is specifically formulated for racing applications with high zinc content and is designed for engines that require frequent oil changes. It is not recommended for everyday street use.

What is the primary benefit of the high zinc content?

The high zinc content provides exceptional anti-wear protection, which is critical for engines operating under extreme stress, especially those with flat tappet camshafts.

How often should I change this oil?

For racing applications, oil change intervals depend on the type of racing and engine conditions. Consult your engine builder or racing team for specific recommendations, but expect more frequent changes than with conventional or synthetic street oils.

Can I use this oil with a turbocharger?

While developed for high-stress racing, its specific formulation is ideal for drag and nitrous applications. For turbocharged engines, especially those with extended oil change intervals, consider synthetic racing oils designed for higher thermal loads. Always consult your engine builder.

What does 'XP4' stand for?

XP4 refers to Driven Racing Oil's specific performance additive package designed for their racing oil lines, emphasizing enhanced protection and performance.

Is this oil synthetic or mineral-based?

This is a high-zinc, mineral-based racing oil formula.

Troubleshooting

Oil pressure seems low during initial startup

Ensure the oil filter is correctly installed and primed, and that the oil level is adequate. Some high-performance oils may exhibit slightly lower cold-start pressure readings.

Visible oil leaks after an oil change

Verify that the oil drain plug is tightened to specification and that the oil filter gasket is properly seated and lubricated. Inspect the oil pan and filter housing for any cracks or damage.

Engine making unusual noises after oil change

Double-check that the correct oil viscosity (15W50) was used and that the oil level is within the recommended range. Ensure no air pockets remain in the oil system, especially after a complete flush.

  • Formulated to increase horsepower and protect tight-tolerance engines.
  • Proven performance from NASCAR R&D.
  • Cost-effective alternative to synthetic racing oils.

Cons

  • Requires more frequent oil changes compared to synthetic oils.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: This engine oil is specifically recommended for racing applications. It is ideal for big block engines, engines with flat tappet camshafts, and those fueled by nitrous or alcohol. It is designed for high-stress environments where frequent oil changes are standard practice.

Setup: Ensure your engine is compatible with a 15W50 viscosity grade and a high-zinc mineral oil. Refer to your engine builder's specifications or racing team's recommendations.

Care: Always perform oil changes at recommended intervals, which are typically shorter for racing applications than for street vehicles. Due to its mineral base and high-performance formulation, monitor oil condition closely. Check the oil level regularly before and after each racing session. Dispose of used oil responsibly according to local environmental regulations.
