Hi gents, took the traditional trip to the Rolex 24 IMSA race at Daytona with my son this year and we decided to go through the garage and perform some "Recon" on oil types used by various teams... For all you Mobil 1 fans I'm sorry to say it is no longer a popular choice whatsoever with race teams... out of the 10-12 teams we visited and talked to only 2 were using M1, the new Corvettes of course but as you'll see in my terrible pic (reflection in the phone and garage window) they use an exclusive 0W50 "Race use" only formula.
Most popular oil amongst the various teams: MOTUL
Second most Popular oil= Off the shelf Pennzoil 0W40!
Third most popular (mostly german teams like Porsche and BMW)= LiquiMoly
Here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure.
