ALPHA OILS - RACE TECH RT-3000 SYNTHETIC
Alpha Oils Race Tech RT-3000 Synthetic Engine Oil is a race-proven lubricant formulated to provide high load carrying characteristics, minimum foaming and maximum resistance to thermal degradation. Exclusive chemistry reduces internal friction and enhances power output under extreme service conditions. It is recommended for engines burning gasoline and/or high octane fuels in track and street applications.
Alpha Oils Race Tech RT-3000 meets the performance requirements of virtually all naturally aspirated, turbocharged and supercharged petrol/gasoline fueled vehicles.

Alpha Oils Race Tech RT-3000 Synthetic Engine Oil Advantages:
* Ideal for race-prepared engines (naturally aspirated, turbo/supercharged) with direct/indirect injection or carburetion.
* Best for short-to-medium duration high-load use like drag racing, where it handles fuel dilution well.
* Drain intervals: Very short - consult your engine builder; with your plan of changing after every race meeting, this is perfect.
* Many teams change after sessions or a few passes on Altered High Octane Fuels.
* Do not mix with other oils for best performance. Suitable for wet or dry sump.

High Zinc/Phosphorus: Contains roughly double the zinc of standard passenger car oils to provide a sacrificial protective layer on critical engine parts.
Performance Levels: Meets API SP, SN PLUS, and SL requirements.
Extreme Protection: Features friction modifiers to boost horsepower and an anti-foam system to maintain oil film strength at high engine speeds.

Technical Data
Practical Safety Margins for 1000+ HP with combined High Octane Altered Fuels
With your plan of changing oil after every race meeting.
Very good safety margin at 1000+ HP for short drag passes (typical duty cycle: 6–10 seconds per run, oil doesn't see prolonged high heat). The ester base provides superior "cling" and resistance to Altered Fuels wash-off/dilution compared to standard oils like your.
Many teams run similar power levels reliably.
Many teams run similar power levels reliably.
Conservative for endurance or longer runs: If you move to road racing, more passes back-to-back, or higher oil temps (>250–260°F/121–127°C sustained), the margin narrows - step up monitoring or consider 15W-50 for extra high-temp buffer.
ZDDP contribution to margin: Independent VOAs show ~1600–1720 ppm Zinc and ~1500–1550+ ppm Phosphorus (excellent for flat-tappet or high-lift valvetrain protection at high power). This gives strong anti-wear headroom even as dilution occurs.
The oil itself isn't the limiting factor at 1000+ HP - engine design is. Proper clearances (often 0.0025–0.0035"+ on mains/rods for race builds), good oil temp/pressure control (ideally 220–260°F), dry sump if possible, and catch can/ventilation are more critical.
