Who is using Extralube ZX1?


Motorsports

Extralube ZX1 is the kind of product that can give a motorsports competitor an advantage over the opposition. As such, it can tend to be the kind of product that is kept a closely guarded secret by teams in order to maintain their advantage.

For instance Extralube ZX1 has been supplied to V8 Supercar team members, but it's not likely you'll see a ZX1 sticker on any of the cars because once the teams have used it they would not want their competitors to enjoy the same benefits. Extralube ZX1 has been and is currently used in Formula One, but which cars or teams we cannot say.

Extralube ZX1 has been used in the championship winning car in British Formula 3 every year since 1995. It was used successfully in Australian Formula 3 for the first time in 2006.

Extralube ZX1 was used by Sam Dale in his Mumbo Racing Formula 4000, on the way to 3rd in the Championship in 2006. To read Sam's testimonial letter, see below.

Competitors in other motor racing categories in Australia also benefit from the use of Extralube ZX1, and the cars using it can generally be found at the front of the field.

ZX1 products are not limited just to the high tech machinery of racing cars, or the intricate technologies of Oil Rigs, they can benefit you and your own car just as effectively as they benefited Johnny Kane towards the British F3 title in 1997 with Paul Stewart Racing.

Jesus Racing Protected


Jesus Ute protected by ZX1

In the extreme heat of Darwin many of the teams struggled with engine wear however the Jesus Racing Team was still able to use the lighter oil provided by Mobil 1 thanks to the protective elements provided by the ZX1 product.

Team engineer Luke Sieders said “the category engine builder was not sure the lighter weight oil provided by Mobil 1 would be suitable for the 5.4 ltr V8 motor however we sent samples of the oil through after the Tassie round and he was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the oil.

Craig Haidstead the boss of the control engine provider of the Yokohama V8 ute series was further concerned about using the lighter weight oil up in the heat of Darwin however over the weekend the team took several samples of the oil and the wear was pleasing indeed.

Sieders explains “ the ZX1 product provides a protective coating over the components of the engine, this helps reduce the friction within the motor and assists in horsepower performance, the ZX1 product is no doubt working well alongside the Mobil 1 product, it actually appears to be allowing us to run a lighter oil than expected which great for the team as this results in additional horsepower.


Team owner Andrew “Fishtail” Fisher said “ we are delighted with the results we have received thus far from using the ZX 1 product there is no doubt that is has contributed to the success of the team so far this season, when you are running at the pointy end of the field every little bit counts.

We have run in extreme cold of Tassie and the extreme heat of Darwin and the wear and tear on the engine, gearbox and differential has been basically non-existent thanks to the ZX1 protective agents.

Thanks to the exceptional product supplied by Mobil 1 and the protective agents utilised in ZX1 we have been able to gain additional horsepower and reduce wear and tear. It has been a win/win for the team”.
