Charles Morris of Performance Counts Racing Engines began using Penn Grade 1® Racing Oils a few years ago and now says, “All of Performance Counts racing engines are now broken-in on the dyno with Brad Penn break-in oil, and are delivered to the customer filled with Brad Penn® Partial Synthetic Racing Oil “The Green OilTM”. We do not recommend any other oil in our engines”.
“Our racing oils are becoming the talk of the racing industry. What separates us from the competition is a unique blend of our Penn Grade base oils and a selected balance of anti-wear additive. Racers and engine builders alike have recognized the unique green color and enjoyed the superior performance when using our Penn Grade 1 Racing Oil. In response to requests from many racing engine builders and from the success of our current racing oil line, we felt the timing was right to add an elite racing break-in oil to round out our product offerings in this specialized market segment.” stated Jennifer Taylor, Marketing Specialist for Brad Penn® Lubricants.
