We formulate VP HI-Performance SAE 10W40 Synthetic Blend Oil to deliver increased power and wear protection for high-stress, high-performance gasoline engines. It's designed for both on-road and off-road applications. We blend our SAE 10W40 synthetic oil for race engines as well as classic, historic, vintage, hot rod, street rod, muscle, and other enthusiast applications.

Do not use Hi-Performance oil in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters. Do not mix oil additive supplements with VP HI-Performance Synthetic Blend Motor Oils.

Why Use VP High-Performance 10W40 Synthetic Blend Oil?

VP applies a 3-pronged approach to lubricant design. As a result, you get a remarkably stable oil that allows race engines of all types to achieve extraordinary performance and durability:

• Firstly, we add enhanced levels of zinc (ZDDP) in addition to other anti-wear chemistries
• Secondly, we include an aggressive detergent package that reduces oxidation
• Finally, we design it with both strong rust and corrosion inhibitors as well as a friction modifier

We blend our 10W40 motor oil with leading-edge viscosity modifiers that control sludge, soot, deposits and improve low temperature operation. Another key point is that our product protects flat tappet and roller cams and affords high-temperature, high-shear protection. Additionally, our synthetic blend 10W40 oil is great for crate engines. For example, the 602 and 604 crate engines run extremely hot and create a significant amount of moisture. Results show that our Hi-Performance motor oil does an outstanding job at protecting vital parts of these engines.

VP engineers a full line of racing lubricants for a wide variety of applications.
