To help ease confusion in the consumer market over the choice of motor oils for today’s wide variety of race and street-performance engines, Driven Racing Oil has expanded its catalog and website to include useful selection guides and tech tips.

The 26-page fully illustrated catalog breaks down Driven’s lineup of products into three main categories: street performance, hot rod and competition/race. Each section offers offers the customary product descriptions that promote the features and benefits of different blends within the categories. There are also sections for specialty lubricants — such as those used in powersports, transmissions and gears, motorcycles, marine and diesel — and ancillary products like assembly grease and coolant protection.

While these capsule reports offer valuable insight into each product, the catalog also provides in-depth technical articles that cover often hard-to-understand topics like understanding the balance between zinc and detergent, why certain camshafts need different oil and how the different “base stocks” affect the viscosity index of synthetic oil.
