About IDEMITSU IFG Plantech Racing
Plantech Racing is the world’s first* API-certified racing oil made from over 80% plant-based raw material.
Experience incredibly responsive acceleration that is environmentally responsible for a deeper level of driving excitement.
Sustainable thrills
High performance in harsh endurance racing conditions
Mazda Spirit Racing competes in the Super Taikyu Series to prove carbon neutral technologies. The team adopted Plantech Racing oil based on its exceptional output performance and reliability in severe racing conditions at high revolutions. In the grueling 5-hour competition, the team’s race-tuned engine performs flawlessly with Plantech Racing.
Extensive testing shows plant-based Plantech Racing outperforms IDEMITSU IFG7, our flagship engine oil, to deliver racing performance.
High power plus sustainability-only from Idemitsu.
A certified plant-based engine oil
The base oil and esters are derived from raw plant materials.
Only palm oil from raw materials that meet the RSPO certification requirement is used. The ester meets high standards of plant-based.
Biomass Mark
The Biomass Mark issued by the Japan Organics Recycling Association (JORA) certifies that Plantech Racing oil contains components made from biomass (renewable organic material from plants and/or animals).
82% less CO₂
The carbon footprint is 82% lower than mineral oil, based on the Japan LP Gas Association estimate of CO₂ emissions per unit of plant-derived base oil during the entire product life cycle from raw material procurement to disposal and recycling.
Molybdenum Ester Technology
Highly refined plant-based oils do not readily dissolve molybdenum, an element that reduces power loss caused by frictional resistance. However, Idemitsu applied its know-how and nano-tailored technology to vastly increase the amount of molybdenum and improve racing performance. We further optimized durability in harsh racing conditions by formulating a high-viscosity plant-based ester – for a revolution that unites performance and sustainability.
