300V Power Racing
5W-30
Racing lubricant for racing cars
100% Synthetic – Double Ester Technology
TYPE OF USE
Racing cars with atmospheric or turbocharged engines, race or qualifying engines, requiring maximum
power output and fastest rev raisings : Qualifying sessions, drag racing, race on tracks, Nascar, single
brand races, uphill races, rallyes…
Engine designed to run low viscosity lubricants and to minimise fuel dilution in the oil.
Other applications : Gasoline or diesel engines, turbocharged, direct injection and catalytic converters.
PERFORMANCES
STANDARDS Above existing standards.
Reference team NISMO NISSAN, Japan GT – Coloni Motorsport, Formula 3 (open wheel
cars)
Double Ester technology : maximum oil film resistance, balanced polarity, resistance at very high
temperature.
Friction Modifier : maximum power output, decrease operating temperature.
0% shear loss : Stable oil pressure whatever using conditions.
Maximum anti-wear resistance.
Perfect engine cleanliness.
Low viscosity grade 5W-30 allows excellent oil flow into the engine, fastest oil pressure set up, faster
rev raisings.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Oil change : according to your own use.
Can be mixed with synthetic or mineral lubricants.

thx again
I must also say that the car was driven from the previous owner with 5W-30 Shell Helix with now probs ore sluge:
After 2 changes with 5W-40 I would like to go back (lifters tick more, wich wasnt the case with 5W-30. They even tick with 0W-40
engine has 94k miles
