Why Drag Racing Teams Trust Australian-Owned Gulf Western Oil

When it comes to high-performance motorsports, there’s no room for second-best—especially in drag racing, where fractions of a second separate champions from the rest. That’s why so many professional and grassroots drag racing teams across Australia put their trust in Gulf Western Oil. As an Australian-owned and operated company, we take pride in formulating lubricants that provide unparalleled protection, performance, and reliability—qualities that are crucial when dealing with high-horsepower machines.

Built for the Toughest Conditions

Drag racing engines are pushed to their absolute limits. Extreme heat, massive RPMs, and immense stress on engine components mean that only the best oils can withstand the demands. Gulf Western Oil products are engineered to handle these conditions, providing superior lubrication and protection against wear and tear. Whether it’s Top Fuel, Pro Mod, or Sportsman racing, our oils have been tested and proven on the track time and time again.

Trusted by Champions

Over the years, Gulf Western Oil has built strong relationships with some of the most respected names in Australian drag racing. From professional teams running 8,000+ horsepower nitro-burning beasts to local racers competing at grassroots events, our products are trusted to keep their engines running smoothly and efficiently.

One standout example is Joe Blo Speed Shop, a long-time Gulf Western Oil customer and distributor. Their drag car recently hit the track after five years in the shed, running an impressive 6.73 @ 217 MPH in the Pro Mod class at Willowbank Raceway—all powered and protected by Gulf Western Oil.

Australian Made, World-Class Performance 

As Australia’s largest privately-owned lubricants manufacturer, we are committed to producing world-class products right here on home soil. Our state-of-the-art blending facility ensures every bottle of Gulf Western Oil meets the highest industry standards, providing confidence to racers who demand the best.

Beyond the racetrack, our oils and lubricants cater to a wide range of industries, including automotive, transport, agriculture, and heavy-duty machinery. No matter the application, our products are designed to perform under the toughest Australian conditions.

The Winning Edge

Success in drag racing comes down to precision, power, and reliability. Gulf Western Oil delivers the winning edge by offering oils that not only enhance performance but also extend engine life. That’s why so many teams trust us with their most valuable assets—their race cars.
