Oil delivers a 15% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to the Pennzoil products formulated for the 2023 racing season
Indianapolis—Shell, Pennzoil and INDYCAR continue to advance their sustainability journey by unveiling the new Pennzoil Performance+ Racing Oil using re-refined base oil (RRBO) to deliver top engine performance with less greenhouse gas emissions.
INDYCAR teams will use Pennzoil Performance+ Racing Oil during the Indianapolis 500 and throughout the NTT INDYCAR Series.
“We are thrilled to have Pennzoil Performance+ Racing Oil as the official lubricant of the 2024 NTT INDYCAR Series and to help showcase the advancements in technology and performance of motor oil made with a re-refined base oil,” said Bree Sandlin, Vice President, Shell Lubricants Marketing North America. “INDYCAR is a premier testing ground to prove the reliability and durability of our lubricant technologies for use in demanding road conditions.”
The use of RRBO in Pennzoil Performance+ Racing Oil conserves non-renewable resources by reducing its use of base oils made from primary fossil material. The re-refined base oil component used reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 50% compared to the base oil used in the Pennzoil products formulated for the 2023 NTT INDYCAR series.
When combining RRBO with its premium additives, Pennzoil Performance+ Racing Oil delivers a 15% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to the Pennzoil products formulated for the 2023 racing season.
“Pennzoil Performance+ Racing Oil has been rigorously tested and approved by INDYCAR, Honda and Chevrolet to meet the high-performance requirements for racing without compromise to performance,” said Bassem Kheireddin, Shell Motorsports Technology Manager.
“The addition of Pennzoil Performance+ Racing Oil using re-refined base oil is another significant milestone as we continue to move toward a more sustainable future for the NTT INDYCAR series, Team Penske and the motorsports industry,” said Mark Miles, President and CEO of Penske Entertainment Corp.
