Standard road oils are designed for long service intervals and have low emissions which they achieve by including extremely high levels of detergents at the cost of reduced anti-wear chemistry. Your performance modified engine wants the opposite.<br \/>\nChanging road oil sooner will help, but it doesn?t solve the issue of low anti-wear chemistry to begin with. Adding ZDDP additives to a high detergent oil doesn?t work, as the detergent will prevent the extra zinc from doing its job.<\/p>\n<p>The Driven Street Performance oils solve this issue. They have much higher anti-wear chemistry at the expense of reduced detergent levels as they are not designed as long-life service oils.<br \/>\nAll the Driven oils have been born out of years of race experience, so they are designed to be super strong and not to thin out even under the most extreme conditions.<br \/>\nYou probably don?t put tyres designed for a family hatchback on your car, so why do the same<br \/>\nwhen it comes to engine oil?<\/p>\n<p>Available in 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-40, 5W-50, 15W-50 grades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a potential issue using current API \/ ACEA approved oils in high performance cars, which is worsened if they have been tuned for more<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"pwb-brand":[14348],"product_brand":[18704],"product_cat":[14347],"product_tag":[14448,14349,14447,14449],"class_list":["post-48580","product","type-product","status-publish","pwb-brand-driven","product_brand-driven","product_cat-engine-oil","product_tag-5w-40","product_tag-driven","product_tag-engine-oil","product_tag-synthetic","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-variable"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
