Solution

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.

Customer testimonial

Aart Andriessen, CEO, APP Racing engines: “13 kPa increase in oil pressure, excellent wear protection, reaches peak power earlier, peak power output increase of 6 bhp across a wider RPM range. Peak torque increase of 9 Nm.”
