Unheard of oil brand

[Bman90]

This oil seems interesting and it’s only $5/quart.

Factory Racing Parts that’s the name.

There’s no detailed specs on it this is all I found off of the manufacturer website:

• SPECIFICATONS: Full synthetic SAE 0W-20, API SP Resource Conserving, ILSAC GF-6A certified, produced in an ISO9001-2015 quality certified facility.

Thinking for the price I’ll scoop some up maybe run a virgin sample then post the results. Couldn’t find anyone on here trying this oil.

Factory racing oil? Gumball racing factory? bobby pin racing factory? What racing factory is this oil from?

Looks to be made by Lubrication Technologies out of Minnesota:

API Is only showing SN+ for them though. Not sure what's up with that.

For $30 I'd just buy a Havoline Box, doubt there's anything special about the 'Factory Racing' stuff.

For $30 you can have the Havoline Lifelong syn and a filter too.

It appears to be branded/sold by Hoerr Racing Products.
Bottling provided by Lubrication Technologies. If you go to their website, they list XOM as a “strategic partner”.
Based on price point, I am guessing it is an “end run” private label product. May contain excess flush stock and weak additive concentrations.

No Dexos from a no-name company generally means “no” in my book. Amsoil & Red Line, sure, but there’s plenty of low cost better synthetic out there.

I’ll go with havoline. Thanks didn’t know Havoline was that cheap. Amazon used to have jugs of Pennzoil Ultra Plat for $22-$24 now they’re marked up $36-$38.

At Walmart, the Havoline is $22.97 for a 6 quart box.

Quite possible ...

Not a lot of technical info on their web site, but I did find the MSDS which had this page:

I would call your attention to the Kinematic Viscosity @40 DegC which is shown as 28.4.

For reference, the same Kinematic Viscosity @40 DegC for Mobil 1 0W-20 EP is 55!

So... they are either very sloppy with their documentation, or this is an extremely thin 0W-20. Either way, I'd give this stuff a hard pass.

Here's a link to the MSDS: Factory Racind Safety Data Sheet for 0W-20 oil
