Oli e lubrificanti

I fluidi performance non sono semplicemente oli migliori. Sono oli pensati per un lavoro diverso. I fluidi stradali comuni sono fatti per il pendolarismo, le norme sulle emissioni e gli intervalli di manutenzione lunghi; i fluidi racing sono fatti per la pista.

The tech

The fuel makes the heat. Everything else has to live with it.

A race fuel's job ends in the combustion chamber. What it leaves behind doesn't. More cylinder pressure and more timing mean more heat in the oil, more load through the bearings and the gearbox, more temperature in the cooling system, and a car arriving at the braking zone faster than it did last season.

A team that finds power in the fuel finds the next weakest part of the car soon afterwards. That's why VP's range grew outward from the tank: racing oils, gear oils, powersports oils, coolants and a racing brake fluid, each built for a job road fluids were never asked to do.

The difference

What changes when the engine is working hard

Engine oil

Standard road oil

Built to pass road-car specifications such as ACEA and API. The priorities are long drain intervals, fuel economy and protecting the catalytic converter, which limits how much zinc and phosphorus anti-wear additive it can carry.

VP racing oil

Built for sustained high temperature, high rpm and high cylinder pressure. The anti-wear chemistry is chosen to protect the engine rather than the emissions hardware, and the viscosity is formulated to hold up under shear. Changed more often, because it works harder.

Gear oil

Standard gear oil

Designed for road gearboxes and differentials under normal loads, often for a long service life.

VP race gear oil

Designed for the shock loads and heat of launches, hard shifts and race differentials.

Coolant

Standard antifreeze

Glycol-based antifreeze, designed for freeze protection and a long life.

VP race coolant

Many series and circuits restrict glycol coolant, because a spill makes the track dangerously slippery. Race coolants and cooling additives are built to be circuit-friendly and to move heat out of the engine efficiently.

Brake fluid

Standard DOT 4 fluid

Meets the minimum road standards (DOT ratings) and is typically changed every couple of years.

VP 622 racing brake fluid

A higher boiling point to resist fade under repeated hard braking, and changed far more often, because brake fluid absorbs moisture and loses boiling point over time.

Track prep is different again: traction compound is the fluid on the track itself, not in the car, laid down before racing to give the tyres something to grip. Track preparation →

The range

Oils and fluids for every part of the machine

Racing engine oils

Professional full synthetic for modern race engines, from 0W-20 to 15W-50. Hi-Performance synthetic blend and Classic grades for street rods, muscle cars and vintage engines. Traditional straight grades for big-clearance and nitro engines.

Powersports

Four-stroke oils in full synthetic, synthetic blend and conventional grades for small-capacity engines run hard for the length of a moto, two-stroke oils for premix, and the chain lube and foam filter oil that go with them.

Brake fluid & engine build

622 is named after its dry boiling point. The number that matters more is the wet boiling point, measured after the fluid has absorbed moisture, as all brake fluid does in use. For racing, VP recommends bleeding the whole system with fresh fluid before each event. For a fresh build there's a break-in oil to help new parts seat, and an assembly lube.

Who it's for

Who needs performance fluids

Drag racing

Full throttle from a standing start, with the whole run at or near maximum load.

Circuit and track days

Sustained high rpm for a full stint, not a school run's worth of short trips.

Motocross and powersports

Small-capacity engines run hard, often air-cooled, for the length of a moto.

Rally

The same fluid across a weekend's worth of weather that a circuit season never sees.

Classic and high-compression engines

Older engines and high static compression ratios that a modern road oil was never specified for.

Modified road cars

Forced induction, remapped power and track days that take a road car past what it left the factory doing.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Can I use racing oil in my everyday road car?

In some engines it is physically possible, but racing oil isn't formulated for it. It's built for sustained high temperature and high rpm rather than for protecting a catalytic converter or for a long service interval, and it's typically changed far more often than a road oil. Check your vehicle manufacturer's requirements before you change what it runs.

Why do some series and circuits restrict glycol coolant?

Glycol-based antifreeze is extremely slippery when it's spilled on a track surface, which is a hazard to every car and rider on it. Many circuits and championships require a glycol-free coolant or cooling additive for that reason.

How often should performance fluids be changed?

More often than the equivalent road fluid, because they work harder. Race oil is typically changed every session or every few sessions rather than every few thousand kilometres, and race brake fluid far more often than the multi-year interval common on the road, because it absorbs moisture and its boiling point drops. Follow the interval for the specific product.

Which VP oil is right for my engine?

It depends on the engine's own specification, how it's used and what your class rules allow. Compare the viscosity grade and application of each oil above with your engine builder's requirements, or send us your engine and how you use it at info@rallyfuels.com.

Do you deliver oils and fluids across Europe?

Yes. Everything on this page can be ordered here and delivered across Europe; see Shipping & Delivery. For team or trade supply, ask us for a quote or apply on our Become a dealer page.
