Driven DT40 5W-40 Synthetic

Engine

£17.50 – £77.50 Ex VAT

There is a potential issue using current API/ACEA-approved oils in high-performance cars, which is worsened if they have been tuned for more power. Standard road oils are designed for long service intervals and have low emissions, which they achieve by including extremely high levels of detergents at the cost of reduced anti-wear chemistry. Your performance modified engine wants the opposite.

Changing road oil sooner will help, but it doesn’t solve the issue of low anti-wear chemistry to begin with. Adding ZDDP additives to a high-detergent oil doesn’t work, as the detergent will prevent the extra zinc from doing its job.

The Driven Street Performance oils solve this issue. They have much higher anti-wear chemistry at the expense of reduced detergent levels, as they are not designed as long-life service oils.

All the Driven oils have been born out of years of race experience, so they are designed to be super strong and not to thin out even under the most extreme conditions.
You probably don’t put tyres designed for a family hatchback on your car, so why do the same when it comes to engine oil?

Available in 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-40, 5W-50, 15W-50 grades.

All hazardous goods orders received before 12pm will be guaranteed to be dispatched the same day (depending on stock) and sent via a freight company that provides a standard 3 day signed delivery service*. For an additional cost, the option of a next day service is available throughout the majority of the UK. However, we cannot accept responsibility for orders that may be delayed in transit. Due to their hazardous nature, all fuel orders must be signed for on delivery. All routine deliveries are made during Monday to Friday. Some routes may be subject to ta longer delivery timescales.

We send most oil orders with FedEx. Typically there are 12 x US quarts in a box or 4 x 5 L cans. However, if you order fuel at the same time we\’ll send the oil on the same shipment as the fuel. The delivery cost for a box of oil is £9.50 + VAT to be delivered next day. Lower costs may apply if only ordering a few small items. You will see the exact delivery cost for your order at checkout.
