Anti-Wear Formulation and high-performance engines are typically modified to deliver maximum horsepower and speed. Their powerful designs create shearing forces that can cause lesser oils to lose viscosity, leaving bearings, pistons and other components vulnerable to wear and failure. DOMINATOR Synthetic Racing Oil’s durable formulation resists viscosity loss due to mechanical shear to maintain a strong protective oil film. It is heavily fortified with zinc and phosphorus anti-wear additives to provide additional protection against scuffing and wear in severe racing conditions (see results below).

Dominator 15W-50 Yields Maximum Horsepower
The excessive friction and heat of racing robs engines of power and longevity. DOMINATOR is formulated with a proprietary friction modifier for maximum horsepower and cooler engine temperatures, promoting improved lap times and longer-lasting components. Subsequently, you will be aware of the better running engine instantly.
- Formulated specifically for racing & high-performance engines
- Robust formulation resists viscosity loss
- Proprietary friction modifier maximizes horsepower & torque
- Fortified with anti-wear additives for extra protection
Protection From Startup to the Checkered Flag
DOMINATOR provides maximum protection in temperature extremes. Its low pour point offers excellent cold-start protection and provides less drag when the oil has not reached stable operating temperatures. At elevated operating temperatures, it maintains superior film strength. DOMINATOR’s thermally stable synthetic chemistry resists the effects of intense heat common to racing engines to provide reliable protection for the duration of the race.
Racing is Research™
The AMSOIL Offshore Racing Team has claimed many national and world championship titles in several different categories of racing, and AMSOIL 15W-50 DOMINATOR Synthetic Racing Oil has been key to its success. After a full racing season covering 3,000 miles of extreme driving, a teardown of one of the team’s Mercury® 525 EFI V-8 engines revealed clean, virtually wear-free components.
In addition to the racing oil’s endurance, we occasionally or more often I should say, hear feedback that our customers are running the oil for several races. This is a result of monitoring the condition of the engine using a Oil Analysis program. They are seeing that the oil has much of its life left. We’ve had customers actually point out that’s was the reason for continuing the use of AMSOIL. Yet the most common reason for sticking with AMSOIL racing oils are the “Seeing is Believing” results in how the oil pressure holds up in extremes and the engine held together in the last lap able to git it her all!
Commercial Availability
Many oil companies produce specialty racing oils for elite groups and do not offer them to the general public. All AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are already formulated to a higher level of performance than competitors’ oils, and AMSOIL DOMINATOR Synthetic Racing Oil is no exception. It provides maximum performance and superior protection to all racers, regardless of their level of competition. The same AMSOIL DOMINATOR Synthetic Racing Oil available here in Sioux Falls is used in the engines of AMSOIL corporately sponsored racers, including Scott Douglas, Chad Hord and Brad Lovell are available to everyone.

Customer Remarks on Dominator Racing Line
Amsoil Dominator Oil
By BILLY, a Verified Buyer from Salisbury NC on January 12, 2025
Damsel-dominator oil works great when using with a turbo engine that’s fueled by methanol. Specifically the synthetic version helps to separate the two liquids from each other which in turn when used with an oil heater will help evaporate the methanol out of the oil which will continue to allow you to use the oil for longer period of time which will help with cost and overall protection of the engine
Very good heat dissipation when the oil gets hot.
By ERIC, a Verified Buyer on February 13, 2025
Tried AMSOIL 15-50 in my off-road race car built LS3 motor. It has an advantage in the heat dissipation and ability to reduce the running oil temperature above 200 degrees F.
Great Oil
By Chris , a Verified Buyer from Pennsylvania on November 02, 2024
Have a heavily built N/A K20/24 swapped Civic Sedan and I was previously running Valvoline VR1 20W-50. A lot of my buddies kept telling me about Amsoil, but I always balked because of the price. After doing some research, I finally pulled the trigger and bought some for an oil change, and now I don’t think I’ll use anything but Amsoil Dominator 15W-50 in the car. It’s tuned on Ethanol (E85) and I’ve noticed less issues with the Amsoil, better throttle response, and quieter valves. Only about 150 miles in, but I really like what I’ve seen thus far!
Racing oil, 15W50
By DANIEL, a Verified Buyer from Northern KY on June 04, 2024
Off the bat I will say that this oil is the best dang oil I have ever used in my High HP engines. It is the only oil that doesn’t get beat to death by the engine. Also, having said that, it is the only oil that quieted the valve train too!! Its like a smooth sewing machine. My hot rod gets this oil ONLY, NO ACCEPTIONS. It runs smooth as silk and I have no issues AT ALL! AMSOIL certainly knows fluids on all levels. In my High Performance 1972 Monte Carlo (completely rebuilt by me and my life long friend, known as the “Magical Maestro Car Gnome”) has all AMSOIL product in the vehicle, gear oil, transmission fluid and of course the 15W50. I am completely amazed how well their fluids works. Once I run out of bearing grease, I will begin to use that too, among more of their other wonderful products. It may cost a tad more, but I rest easy knowing my vehicles are well protected with this wonder fluid. So its well worth it and it lasts longer! if you have a heavy hitter, High HP vehicle like me, then this stuff is it! Don’t even wait another second, just order it for your beast in the garage. YOU WILL BE PLEASED! Yours truly, Dan
Great racing oil
By JAMES, a Verified Buyer on May 24, 2024
This is the oil I use in my high compression 565 big block chevy for track days. This is definitely the oil to go with if you want to protect your race car while you beat on it going down the track.
Proof is in the pudding
By LARRY, a Verified Buyer from Texas on May 17, 2024
Recently made some changes to my 532ci. BBF and was going to replace the rod bearings while having it apart. After 3 seasons of 200’ mud drag racing, the bearings still looked new. Ended up putting them back in and looking forward to another race season, thanks to Amsoil Dominator Racing oil!
Awesome racing oil
By RON, a Verified Buyer on May 09, 2024
Have been using Amsoil 15-50 since I resurrected a 1992 mustang LX with. 5.0 stock motor for 3 years on various road race courses (Mid Ohio, NCM, Ozarks, Pitt raceway, Gingerman, etc with NASA. Superb lune and engine remains rock solid and pulls strong running at 6200 rpm changing oil after every 2 race weekends
Great for built engines!
Dominator race oil
By GERRALD, a Verified Buyer from Mn on October 08, 2023
I have used Dominator race oil in my dirt track car for the last 10 years, I never had an oil related part failure or any excessive wear on any parts. My engine builder said what I’m using keep using it works.
