RAVENOL RCS Racing Competition Synto 5W-40 – Professional Racing Engine Oil

Purpose and Specifications

RAVENOL RCS 5W-40 is a fully synthetic racing engine oil engineered for extreme performance under track conditions and high-load driving. This oil is formulated with PAO (poly-alpha-olefin) base stock combined with USVO® Technology, delivering superior protection when your engine works hardest.

Key Performance Benefits:

• Extreme Temperature Protection: Maintains a protective film at very high operating temperatures (up to 150°C+), preventing metal-to-metal contact and wear during sustained high-RPM driving
• Reduced Friction: Molybdenum and tungsten additives smooth engine surfaces, lowering friction losses and improving power delivery
• Fuel Efficiency: Optimized viscosity reduces drag during partial and full-power operation, saving fuel without sacrificing protection
• Engine Cleanliness: Advanced detergent and dispersant properties keep combustion deposits suspended, preventing sludge buildup
• Minimal Oil Burn: Very low evaporation tendency means less oil consumption during extended high-temperature sessions
• Cold Start Safety: Flows instantly at -30°C, ensuring immediate lubrication protection even in cold climates before track sessions

When to Use / Replace?

RAVENOL RCS 5W-40 is designed for gasoline engines in racing applications, track days, and extreme driving conditions. For road cars driven aggressively, follow your manufacturer's oil change interval (typically 5,000–10,000 km or 6 months for synthetic oils). For dedicated race cars, change oil every 2,000–5,000 km or after each race weekend, depending on engine load and ambient conditions. Store in a cool, dry place; shelf life is approximately 5 years in sealed containers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this oil in my street car?
A: Yes, if your engine is turbocharged or naturally aspirated gasoline. However, this is a race-spec oil optimized for extreme conditions. Check your owner's manual for viscosity approval (5W-40 compatibility). Standard road cars may benefit more from a general-purpose synthetic 5W-40.

Q: How often should I change this oil during track use?
A: For track-only vehicles, change every 2,000–5,000 km or after each race weekend. For street cars used occasionally on track, follow your manufacturer's interval (typically 10,000 km or 6 months). High engine loads and sustained high RPMs accelerate oil degradation.

Q: What makes this oil different from standard 5W-40 synthetics?
A: RAVENOL RCS contains no viscosity index improvers—instead, it uses a special blend of Group V synthetic base oils that naturally maintain viscosity across temperature ranges. This means better shear stability (the oil stays thick under extreme pressure) and superior performance at racing temperatures.
