Product FAQs

Mobil 1 Racing™ oils employ fully synthetic, latest generation, wide viscosity grade racing oil technology designed to help reduce engine friction and protect the engine under high output conditions in high operating temperatures. Mobil 1 Racing 0W‐50 motor oil offers boosted levels of anti‐wear protection (nominal zinc level of 1,850 ppm) for extra engine protection in highly loaded flat tappet engine designs.

Mobil 1 Racing™ oils offer high‐temperature protection at temperatures over 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius) and are suitable for temperature protection where supercharging and turbocharging is employed.

Oil drain intervals in racing conditions can vary widely. Depending on specific racing applications and conditions, intervals of 500 miles or more are attainable. When determining the correct interval at these extreme conditions, used oil quality should be monitored because each application and environment can be different.

There is no need to run a special break‐in oil if using Mobil 1™. Mobil 1 oil has a robust additive system that helps provide protection during break‐in as well as normal operation.

Mobil 1 Racing™ oils are not recommended for everyday general street use where vehicles use catalytic exhaust converters.

Mobil 1™ oils are compatible with most fuels; however, excess fuel dilution may require more frequent changes and used oil analysis for quality monitoring.

Mobil 1 Racing™ oils offer boosted levels of anti‐wear protection (nominal zinc level of 1,850 ppm) for extra engine protection in highly loaded flat tappet engine designs.

Mobil 1 Racing™ oils offer the most up‐to‐date wide viscosity grade racing oil technology, designed to help reduce engine friction and protect the engine under high output conditions in high operating temperatures.

Mobil 1 Racing™ oils offer boosted levels of anti‐wear protection (nominal zinc level of 1,850 ppm) for extra engine protection in highly loaded flat tappet engine designs.

Mobil 1 Racing™ oils employ fully synthetic, latest generation, wide viscosity grade racing oil technology designed to help reduce engine friction and protect the engine under high output conditions in high operating temperatures. Mobil 1 Racing 0W‐50 synthetic oil offers boosted levels of anti‐wear protection, nominal zinc level of 1,850 ppm, for extra engine protection in highly loaded flat tappet engine designs.

Mobil 1 15W‐50 is a higher viscosity oil that delivers a thick oil film for protection of high‐performance engines. Mobil 1 15W‐50 can be used and is recommended for both street and track use; however, Mobil 1 Racing™ oils are not recommended for general street use where vehicles use catalytic exhaust converters. Mobil 1 Racing™ 0W‐30 and Mobil 1 Racing™ 0W‐50 are lower viscosity oils designed to protect the engine under high output conditions in high operating temperatures. Additionally, Mobil 1 Racing oils offer boosted levels of anti‐wear protection (nominal zinc level of 1,850 ppm) for extra engine protection in highly loaded flat tappet engine designs like those used in the NASCAR® Sprint Cup series.

These oils are not recommended for wet clutch applications due to their high level of molybdenum.

Mobil 1 Racing oils are formulated with the same race-proven, fully synthetic technology used in racing applications around the world. However, typically, Mobil 1™ engineers tailor the racing oil technology based on the specifications required by specific teams and/or race applications.

Automotive street use oils that meet the latest industry standards are required to have a lower level of zinc and phosphorus anti‐wear chemistries than oils formulated years ago. The latest automotive street use engine oils are designed to be compatible with emission control equipment. Mobil 1 Racing oils are formulated with anti‐wear (zinc/phosphorus) chemistries at twice the level of automotive street oils to provide enhanced protection of highly loaded valve train systems found in some race engines. Based on the high level of anti‐wear chemistries, Mobil 1 Racing oils are not recommended for street use.

Mobil 1 Racing™ oils employ fully synthetic, latest generation, wide viscosity grade racing oil technology, designed to help reduce engine friction and protect the engine under high output conditions in high operating temperatures. Both Mobil 1 Racing™ 0W‐30 and Mobil 1 Racing™ 0W‐50 motor oils offer boosted levels of anti‐wear protection (nominal zinc level of 1,850 ppm) for extra engine protection in highly loaded flat tappet engine designs. Mobil 1 Racing oils are not recommended for street use.
