Valvoline™ – the petroleum industry’s first U.S. trademarked motor oil brand currently celebrating its 150th anniversary – and racing teams using its Pro-V Racing™ line of motor oils and lubricants are off to an impressive start as mid-season for multiple series approaches.

Valvoline’s Pro-V Racing line of oils are designed specifically for racing applications in various grades – ranging from 0W-20 to 20W-50 – as well as Break-In oil, gear oils and transmission fluid, among others.

Currently, vehicles using Pro-V Racing lubricants boast 42 first-place finishes* in 2016 (as of May 31, 2016) – a 40 percent win rate in races with at least one car running Pro-V Racing products. Victories include three in NASCAR Sprint Cup, an impressive 13 out of 22 in the Lucas Oil Late Model Series and a dominant five-for-five in the ARCA Racing Series.

Racers like Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie Johnson, Chase Elliott, Brad Sweet, Jonathan Davenport, Josh Richards and others are at the wheels of winning vehicles.

“Having Valvoline Pro-V Racing oil in our Durham Race Engines gives me the confidence that I need for any track condition,” said Josh Richards, Valvoline racer and three-time World of Outlaws Late Model Series Champion. “I can focus on driving the car and not worry about my engine performance knowing I have the best possible oil to give me the engine durability I need to go out, win races and contend for a championship.”

Valvoline’s full line of premium racing oils and lubricants are engineered for nearly every circuit and class. A full list of Valvoline Pro-V Racing products includes:

Valvoline is known as much for its innovative product technology as it is for its iconic legacy in racing, and feedback gained from professional racing teams provides valuable insight in continuous optimization of product chemistry.

“The building blocks that go into Pro-V Racing products have been developed through Valvoline’s partnerships with some of the best racing teams worldwide,” said Scott Weiland, senior staff scientist at Valvoline. “We have scientifically engineered this line to complement different types of racing and maximize performance based on multiple engine-specific variables.” 

Valvoline Pro-V Racing products’ ability to thrive in high-stress situations is fueled by their lab and track-tested scientific composition. Pro-V Racing products feature synthetic base stocks to enable greater thermal and oxidation stability from high RPM-induced heat stress, while proprietary additive technologies help to protect engines under extreme conditions. Additionally, their superior chemistry helps to reduce engine friction while boosting both horsepower and torque.

“Our engine builders always expect challenging and extreme conditions for our five-hundred-cubic-inch naturally aspirated engines. We continuously place the engine in high-stress situations, from the burnout through the coast down after the finish line,” said Kevin Finney, general manager and lead engineer at Gray Motorsports. “While our engines may only experience 5,000 revolutions during this time, we always rely on the Pro-V Racing line of Valvoline products.”
