Jesus Ute protected by ZX1
In the extreme heat of Darwin many of the teams struggled with engine wear however the Jesus Racing Team was still able to use the lighter oil provided by Mobil 1 thanks to the protective elements provided by the ZX1 product.
Team engineer Luke Sieders said “the category engine builder was not sure the lighter weight oil provided by Mobil 1 would be suitable for the 5.4 ltr V8 motor however we sent samples of the oil through after the Tassie round and he was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the oil.
Craig Haidstead the boss of the control engine provider of the Yokohama V8 ute series was further concerned about using the lighter weight oil up in the heat of Darwin however over the weekend the team took several samples of the oil and the wear was pleasing indeed.
Sieders explains “ the ZX1 product provides a protective coating over the components of the engine, this helps reduce the friction within the motor and assists in horsepower performance, the ZX1 product is no doubt working well alongside the Mobil 1 product, it actually appears to be allowing us to run a lighter oil than expected which great for the team as this results in additional horsepower.
Team owner Andrew “Fishtail” Fisher said “ we are delighted with the results we have received thus far from using the ZX 1 product there is no doubt that is has contributed to the success of the team so far this season, when you are running at the pointy end of the field every little bit counts.
We have run in extreme cold of Tassie and the extreme heat of Darwin and the wear and tear on the engine, gearbox and differential has been basically non-existent thanks to the ZX1 protective agents.
Thanks to the exceptional product supplied by Mobil 1 and the protective agents utilised in ZX1 we have been able to gain additional horsepower and reduce wear and tear. It has been a win/win for the team”.
