In a sport where every fraction of a second counts, Japan has just taken a bold leap — not with a new car, but with what’s inside the engine. Meet Idemitsu IFG Plantech Racing Oil, the world’s first plant-powered racing oil, made from more than 80% plant-derived materials. It’s not just a nod to sustainability — it’s a performance beast, claiming to deliver 194% more power than conventional racing oils.
The secret lies in Idemitsu’s proprietary Molybdenum Ester Technology, which fine-tunes plant-based oils to perform under the brutal heat, friction, and stress of high-speed racing. The result? A lubricant that’s as eco-conscious as it is track-ready.
Its debut came in the Mazda Spirit Racing Roadster CNF during the SUZUKA S Endurance Race. Over hours of punishing laps, the oil kept the engine running flawlessly — no overheating, no performance drop, just smooth, relentless power. For motorsports, it was proof that green technology doesn’t have to compromise speed.
The breakthrough is part of Idemitsu’s broader IFG/IRG oil series, now available in markets including the Philippines, and compatible with SP 0W-20 engine specifications. It’s a step toward a future where even high-octane racing can leave a lighter footprint — and a reminder that innovation isn’t always about bigger engines or flashier aerodynamics. Sometimes, it’s about what keeps those engines alive.
In a world racing toward sustainability, Idemitsu’s plant-powered oil proves that going green doesn’t mean slowing down.
