Motor Oil - Racing

How often you need to change your racing motor oil depends upon several factors. High performance engines build up more heat and are sometimes used in very harsh conditions or under heavy loads. This may wear the oil out more quickly than a daily driver. Because of the amount of torque generated by a high performance or racing engine, it is even more important that the oil be checked and changed regularly. An engine that is frequently used for racing can be damaged quickly due to low oil levels. If the oil is dark and thick, smells burned, or if you feel any grit in the oil between your fingers, it may be time for an oil change. Race vehicles often require an oil change after each race, but this depends on how you use the vehicle. O'Reilly Auto Parts carries racing motor oil in a variety of weights and formulations.
