Someone at work asked for 5W-40 racing oil. It was recommended that the car get Castrol racing oil with lead. This does not pop up on their website.

Lead? In racing oil?
Not a clue. Did they mean Zinc (Zn, Zddp)?

"Someone" doesn't really know what they're talking about...
Fuel once had lead. Bearings once had lead. Oil? Nah...
Besides it would make the car heavier and that isn't good for a race car. I'd recommend the one with helium.

The only racing oil Castrol seems to have is for motorcycles. Maybe they will come back later and have more info.
Who is they? Castrol doesn’t have anyone on this board.
Lead has pretty much been eliminated from modern automobiles in every form. I suspect the person you refer to is thinking of another component.
