Used by Joe Gibbs Racing to break in and dyno all of its race engines, BR30 from Driven Racing Oil is a conventional 5W-30 formula that is perfect for the first 400 miles on the street, one night of racing, or dyno power pulls. It features high levels of zinc and phosphorus as well as a comprehensive additive package that promotes ring seal and provides the maximum protection available for cams and lifters during the initial break-in process. As a result, it does not require any additional ZDDP additives.

Driven BR30 also features low levels of detergent for maximum anti-wear film formation. Compatible with methanol and high-octane race fuels, it is specially formulated for both hydraulic lifter valve trains and those used in restrictor plate and drag racing. Driven BR30 is also ideal for OEM rebuilds and hydraulic roller camshaft engines.

Available in quarts (PN 01806) and one case of 12 quarts (PN 01807).

  • Same high-zinc and -phosphorus formula as Driven Racing Oil’s original break-in oil.
  • Now in SAE 5W-30 viscosity for tight clearance or low-temperature break-in.
  • Good for restrictor plate engines, drag race engines, and OEM rebuilds.
  • Provides excellent ring sealing.
  • Requires no additional additives.
  • Available by the quart or 12-quart case.
