Driven JGR00106 Joe Gibbs 00107 BR 15W-50 Break-In Motor Oil - 1 Quart Bottle, Case of 12

BR break-in oil is specifically designed to provide protection for flat-tappet camshafts and lifters during the break-in process, ensuring excellent ring seal. The oil is formulated with high levels of Zinc, Phosphorus, and Sulfur in a mineral base, offering the highest levels of protection for critical engine components such as camshafts, lifters, wrist pins, distributor gears, push rods, and valve retainers. When combined with Joe Gibbs driven engine assembly grease, BR break-in oil delivers unparalleled protection, without the need for any additional additives.

Motor oil is derived from crude oil and is utilized to lubricate, clean, and cool engines. Various types of motor oil are available, including conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. These oils differ in terms of weight, viscosity, and the additives that manufacturers may include during the refining process.

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has established a numerical code system to grade motor oils based on viscosity. The higher the number between 0 and 60, the more viscous (thicker) the oil. Most consumer motor oils are graded using two numbers, with the first number indicating cold weather (Winter or "W") performance. For example, an oil with a weight of SAE 15W-50 has an SAE viscosity rating of 15 in cold temperatures and a rating of 50 at normal operating temperature. It is crucial to refer to the vehicle's owner's manual to ensure the correct weight of motor oil is used.

Conventional motor oils are refined from crude oil or petroleum products and may or may not contain additives after the refining process. These oils are more versatile than synthetic or hybrid motor oils, as they are suitable for use in a wide range of modern vehicle engines, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, farm equipment, and more.

Break-in oil is primarily designed to protect the ring seals and rotating assembly components of new vehicles, reducing initial start-up wear. Highly refined mineral oil is typically preferred for engine break-in, often with the addition of zinc-containing additives. For optimal performance, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations provided in the vehicle's owner's manual.
