Oracle Red Bull Racing and Mobil 1™
Mobil 1™ is the world’s leading synthetic motor oil brand and is a Technology Partner of the Oracle Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team.
Formula 1 Grand Prix racing is the ultimate proving ground for Mobil 1 to develop its innovative lubricants technology.
Providing technology solutions in one of the most demanding environments allows us to not only further enhance Mobil 1 lubricants, but also pioneer new technology advances.
The insights and expertise gained from ExxonMobil’s Technology Partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing are then used to develop our Mobil 1 motor oil for the road and available to consumers around the world.


- Mobil 1 motor oil works to reduce friction in the 1.6 litre V6 engine, essential to maximizing power and performance
- A unique formulation of Mobil 1 motor oil has been developed to provide increased power and fuel efficiency. It simultaneously cools and protects the engine in the extremes of a race
- The number of engines used per car in a season is three, applying great emphasis on lubricant performance and engine reliability across 24 Formula 1 races
- Mobil 1 motor oil lubricates more than 4,000 moving parts in the race engine, including the ICE, turbo & MGU
- The turbo charger, lubricated by Mobil 1 motor oil, can reach up to 950ºC and rev up to 125000 rpm
- Mobil 1 motor oil circulates around the race engine up to nine times per minute
- An ExxonMobil trackside technician tests more than 1100 oil samples from the Oracle Red Bull Racing cars per season
- The ExxonMobil technicians working on the development of Formula 1 lubricants are the same engineers involved in the development of road car products
