Synthetic formula provides improved cold-start protection compared to conventional oils, which reduces engine wear
Designed for Hot Rods, Classic Cars and Historic Racers

Joe Gibbs Driven 10W-30 Synthetic Hot Rod Oil is the ideal motor oil for all your hot rod, vintage, and classic cars. Flush with special anti-friction, anti-rust and anticorrosion additives, it provides dependable engine protection both while on the road and in the garage to older style push-rod and flat tappet engines in a 100% synthetic, NASCAR tested blend.

Unique, Synthetic High Performance Motor Oil

Today's standard motor oils are formulated to be compatible with your street car's emission control equipment, while federal EPA requirements have led to a reduction in formulated anti-wear chemistries like Zinc, Phosphorus and Sulfur in API rated engine oils. Although this is great for the environment and street cars, engines in many older, classic hot rods are best protected by the additional anti-friction qualities that oils featuring these mineral additives provide. That is where Joe Gibbs Driven Synthetic 10W-30 Hot Rod Oil comes in.

Joe Gibbs Driven synthetic 10W-30 Hot Rod oil is designed specifically for hot rod, vintage, and classic cars, especially those with older style push-rod and flat tappet engines. 100% synthetic, this unique high performance blend contains higher levels of zinc than standard motor oils. Active throughout the oil at the molecular level, zinc is naturally drawn to the carbon steel surfaces within your engine where with the addition of heat it reacts, creating an additional anti-friction coating that protects against possible metal-on-metal instances, even if the oil were to fail. In addition, Joe Gibbs Driven synthetic 10W-30 Hot Rod oil contains a special, military-grade additive that protects engines while they sit cold in storage and provides extra protection at startup. Taken together, this makes it the total motor oil protection that your classic ride needs.

Why Use Synthetic Oil?

Oil does more than just reduce friction and wear. It also serves as a vital coolant throughout your engine. Keeping parts cool and well lubricated enables parts to last longer, so the Joe Gibbs Racing team sprays oil on their valve springs, camshafts and pistons to keep them cool. The high temperatures on these parts would cause conventional oils to breakdown much faster than synthetic oil. The proof of this is in the fact that conventional base oils can handle up to 320°F operating temperatures, while synthetic base oils can handle up to 554°F operating temperatures. The improved thermal stability of synthetic oil provides increased oil longevity. These shear stable oils allow you to safely run lower viscosity oils that increase horsepower - without the danger of viscosity breakdown. Joe Gibbs Driven racing oils maintain their viscosity even after 500 miles of competition, so parts stay cool and well lubricated.

About Joe Gibbs Driven Products

Joe Gibbs Driven is an extension of Joe Gibbs Racing, which is not an oil company - it is a NASCAR race team owned by Joe Gibbs, former head coach of the Washington Redskins. With three Super Bowl rings, Coach Gibbs knows that to win at the highest level, whether on the track or the field you need to have access to the best resources possible. That's why Joe Gibbs Racing developed Joe Gibbs Driven products. These products have brought Joe Gibbs Racing multiple NASCAR Cup Series Championships, and now you can use the same products they use in your own high performance vehicles.

Modern API certified oils are designed to protect catalytic converters. Joe Gibbs driven hot rod oil is designed to protect your camshaft. With high levels of ZDDP to protect your engine, Joe Gibbs driven hot rod oil delivers the chemistry that classic cars, muscle cars and historic racers need. Because these cars are not daily drivers, Joe Gibbs driven hot rod oil also delivers storage protection additives to guard your engine from rust and corrosion. These additives also prevent dry starts. Developed specifically for older cars, no other oil provides this unique combination of lubricant chemistry.
