Drive twice a year oils, male pattern baldness oils, oils for midlife crises (with enhanced anti-wear for a heavy foot).... They are missing out on so many marketing opportunities.
tiger862: Do they really, though? This is quoted from their 5w-30: "Sharing the same advantages as Driven's DI20 Oil, DI30 should be used in any direct injection engine that calls for 5W-30 motor oil, such as the Ford EcoBoost engines and the GM LT1 and LT4 engines. Viscosity typcial [sic] of 5W-30"
If they intend it only as a racing oil, they're really not doing a good job of making sure only racers are looking at it, considering they're saying any direct injection engine. Let's not bother with dexos1 Gen 2, or SN+, or A5/B5, let's go with Driven instead. I'm sure that's what's now in the AC Delco and Motorcraft bottles.
