Driven Racing Conventional, Semi, and Synthetic Motor Oils Protect Your Classic or Performance Engine

The 4 R's: Right Oil, Right Place, Right Time, & Right Amount

You don't need to be a tribologist. Just remember the 4 R's.

Born from Joe Gibbs Racing, Driven Racing Oil™ utilizes cutting-edge lubricant technology & on-track research for maximum performance and protection. Driven Racing Oil motor oil and break-in oil feature higher levels of zinc, phosphorous, and sulfur to provide maximum anti-wear properties.

Every new engine deserves the right oil - the Driven system. LN Engineering recommends starting off with Driven BR which promotes proper surface mating during the critical break-in process and chemically assists with piston ring sealing in high-performance engines.

Before switching to a synthetic oil, we recommend an intermediate oil like Driven HR conventional "Hot Rod" oil, which doesn't require ZDDP or additives to protect your engine. Driven HR adds storage protection additives that guard against rust and corrosion during winter storage.

Following the intermediate oil, Driven DT fully synthetic oils are designed for water-cooled, European sports car engines. It provides superior protection, utilizing advanced synthetic base oils to provide high temperature and high shear protection for high RPM engines. Driven DT oils additionally were developed for and tested in Porsche engines through a partnership between Driven, LN Engineering, and Aircooled Technology/Flat 6 Innovations, so you know it's proven in your aircooled or watercooled engine to perform and protect.

Don't forget DRIVEN® Transmission, Gear Fluids and Oils, Greases, and Car Care Products to clean and protect the rest of your vehicle.

Driven Racing Oils has you covered.

 

No Additives Needed with Driven Oils

Be it for a flat tappet camshaft or hypoid ring and gear set, Driven Racing Oil™ products have the correct additives for that application. You do not need to add an aftermarket oil treatment to any Driven Racing Oil™ product. Every Driven Racing Oil™ lubricant is carefully formulated to provide the necessary protection for its specific application. The use of an aftermarket oil treatment may degrade the performance of the lubricant- a situation called "additive clash". To avoid this, do not use any aftermarket additives with any Driven Racing Oil™ product. When changing to Driven Racing Oil™ from another brand of oil, make sure the oil system has been drained and flushed before filling the sump with the new oil. This step ensures that you get the best performance from your purchase.

 

A System Approach to Protecting Your Performance or Classic Car Engine

Just like using primer, sealer and base color in automotive paint, the Driven Racing Oil™ "system" of lubricants provides layers of protection for your performance engine.
The Driven Racing Oil™ Engine Assembly Grease provides active chemistry to protect critical valve train components like camshafts and pushrod tips on initial start-up. Driven Racing Oil™ BR Break-In Oil provides high levels of Zinc anti-wear protection for flat tappet lifters during break-in and promotes ring seal. Establishing the Zinc anti-wear protection in your engine extends the life of engine parts.

The XP series of synthetic racing oils adds race proven friction modifiers to lower engine temperatures and increase horsepower. The Driven Racing Oil™ Hot Rod Oils provide US Military specification rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect engines during winter storage. This unique system of lubricants works together to provide the right protection, in the right places, at the right time. Every Driven Racing Oil™ lubricant is designed to complement the other Driven lubricants- creating a synergistic effect where the whole protective package is greater than the sum of the individual parts. Using different brands of assembly lube, break-in oil and race oil may not yield this effect.

For best results, use Driven Racing Oil™ Engine Assembly Grease to pre-lube engine components prior to initial start-up. Use Driven Racing Oil™ BR Break-In Oil for the break-in period, and then switch to either the Driven XP series of racing oils for competition use or the Driven Hot Rod Oil for street and performance use.
 

Keep It Clean

Over 50% off all machine failures are related to contamination. Keeping your oil system clean extends the life of your equipment. Parts must be clean when they are assembled and whenever maintenance is performed. Driven Racing Oil™ cleaners provide fast and effective cleaning for your critical components.

The most cost effective way to keep your oil system clean is with frequent filter changes. When you remove the filter, you remove the contaminants from the oil system. Contamination can come from inside the engine as well as from outside. Premium quality oils resist oxidation and nitration which create harmful contaminants, meaning that premium lubricants have a longer service life. Frequently changing the filter and topping off the oil level keeps the oil clean and fresh. This results in reduced engine wear, fewer oil purchases and reduced waste oil for disposal.

By changing your oil filter every race, even dirt and methanol fueled cars can run more races between oil changes. Here is how to do it. After each race, warm up the engine and change the oil filter. Replace the oil lost during the filter change by topping off the oil level. Keep changing the oil filter and topping off the oil until you have run five races. After five races, change the oil and filter, and start the process over. Changing the filter frequently results in fewer contaminants in the oil system. By reducing the contaminants, you reduce wear and extend the oil drain interval.

GOOD OIL KEPT CLEAN= LONGER ENGINE LIFE
 

Proper Lubricant Storage

The importance of keeping lubricants clean and contaminant free cannot be overstated. Proper storage and handling techniques can prevent contamination related engine and equipment failures. Keeping lubricants (and fuel) clean, cool and dry prevents them from becoming contaminated with dust, dirt, water and other fluids. Oil stored properly can be stored for years without affecting its performance.

Driven Oils are Designed for Porsche Engines by Industry Leading Engine Specialists

Driven DT40 was developed in and for the M96/M97 engine for Porsche Boxster, Cayman, and 911 models as a collaboration between Joe Gibbs Racing Driven Oils, Flat 6 Innovations, and LN Engineering.
