The YOLO team members commented, “The NitroLube 10w30 Oil looked great when we finished the race. The support chase truck used the 15w40.We didn’t change the Oil during the 1800km race…. just added a bit when we rolled it over in the mountains during the night ride, we lost some oil out the overflow and some time. The #551 Race car ran wide open pretty much 35 hrs straight !

The NitroLube was amazing. Thank you for your support.”
