Driven Racing Oil BR30 5W-30 is a conventional break-in motor oil that provides strong wear protection while promoting proper surface mating of internal engine components. Joe Gibbs Racing uses BR30 to break in and dyno its race engines. It contains elevated zinc and phosphorus plus a break-in additive package aimed at ring seal and cam-and-lifter protection, and it uses low detergent levels to favor anti-wear film formation, so no additional ZDDP additives are required. BR30 5W-30 is formulated for hydraulic lifter valvetrains and is compatible with methanol and high-octane race fuels.
