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.

A certified plant-based
engine oil

  • 80% plant derived
  • RSP0 certified palm oil
  • 82% CO2 reduction

*1 Over 80% plant-based
*2 The raw material for the base oil (palm oil) meets RSPO certification requirements.
*3 The Biomass Mark certifies the oil is certified by the Japan Organics Recycling Association.
*4 Japan LP Gas Association estimate of CO2 emissions per unit of plant-derived base 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).

バイオマス 使用部位:エンジンオイル No.230315

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.

Better racing performance

More protection

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.
