It depends on the oil.. Torco has everything you need on the street plus it hasn't been voided of the good stuff that the enviromentalists have forced out of typical oils.
By putting "Race Oil" on the package companies like Lucas and Torco can have additives that "street oils" can't. At least that's my understanding.
