While many people know Prolong for their extensive line of oil and fuel additives, car care products, and industrial lubricants, hardcore gearheads know that the company has had a super high quality and effective line of racing and high performance oil for a very long time. In fact, racers like Tony Pedgreon rely on Prolong lubricants in their nitro burning engines that make upwards of 10,000hp! Because you are likely not hammering the Earth with a nitro funny car, they make products for slightly more tame applications as well like their Nitro 40W racing oil. This formula is designed for smaller engines that are running alcohol or nitromethane in applications like drag racing, sprint cars, marine motorports, and speedway bikes, etc.
We know lots of you out there use alcohol as fuel in your race cars and toys so make sure you are using an oil designed to work in the rigors of the environment it will be subjected to. Don’t just grab some stuff “off the shelf” and think that it will do the job of an engineered race oil because it won’t. The oil you put into your engine is the literal lifeblood that thing depends on and the small investment you make in a quality oil will prevent a massive nuclear wallet meltdown when your engine bites the dust and locked up tight due to inferior sauce in it!
HERE’S THE FULL RELEASE FROM PROLONG –
