Eurol Specialty Racing 10W-60 offers a higher oil pressure and an improved film thickness on the moving parts of the engine. It offers protection against wear, from the cold start up to high operating temperatures. The oil is not susceptible to shear losses, maintaining its viscosity throughout the drain interval.
