Driven Racing Oil Viscosity Index 101

In this video, Lake Speed, Jr., of Driven Racing Oil explains the different types of specialty oils available from Driven. If you always thought all oils were the same, you'll be surprised to see in this video that just the opposite is true. Video highlights include:

*At 0:42, Lake tells us about properly breaking in an engine with a proper lubricant.

*At 1:28, Lake talks about properly storing your hot rod for the winter and why constantly starting a stored vehicle is not a good idea.

*At 4:06, Lake talks about oil operating temperatures, engine viscosities, and how they affect oil life.

*At 8:35, Lake explains what the "W" designation in oil viscosities REALLY stands for (it's not "weight!).

*At 13:08, Lake explains how to choose an oil viscosity for your particular engine and usage application, as well as choosing other vital vehicle fluids.

*At 21:45, Lake explains how the Andy's Auto Sport sales staff is trained and ready to answer any questions and make recommendations about Driven Racing Oil products.

*At 22:15, Lake summarizes why it's important to choose the right fluids, and how Driven Racing Oil solves many common lubrication issues.

Recent API indexing is great for your typical road vehicle, but it isn't really relevant for high performance and racing applications. In this video, Lake Speed, Jr., of Driven Racing Oil, explains the API indexing method and why Driven Racing Oil does not follow the API standard. Video highlights include:

*At 0:55, Lake gives us the nuts and bolts of API indexing, why it was established for the masses, and why API indexed off-the-shelf oils just aren't made for performance.

*At 5:35, Lake tells us how Driven Racing Oils differ from typical API indexed lubricants and offer a distinct advantage.

*At 8:07, we discuss why older vehicles need specialty oils, since off-the-shelf API indexed oils aren't made with vintage or performance engines in mind.

In this video, Lake Speed, Jr., of Driven Racing Oil talks to us about how Driven products are created, and the science and experience that drives the development of every bottle, including API indexes and what they mean for your performance vehicle. Key points include:

*At 0:37, Lake tells us about oil bases, additives, and how these additives affect performance.

*At 2.00, Lake breaks down the reasons why your typical off-the-shelf lubricants just aren't meant for performance vehicles, and why typical lab testing can't determine the best oil for your engine.

*At 4:56, Lake tells us how Driven Racing Oil is tested in real-world and simulated environments.

*At 6:00, Lake explains why different oils are needed for different applications.
