Description
AGIP Novecento Racing 10W-60 is a fully synthetic engine oil from the Novecento line for classic sports cars. Its wide 10W-60 viscosity range is designed for engines that run under racing conditions.
The oil is rated API SL; it holds no official carmaker approvals.
Typical figures: viscosity 165 mm²/s at 40 °C and 23.4 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 172, pour point -27 °C, flash point 230 °C, density 856 kg/m³ and low-temperature viscosity 6,800 mPa·s at -25 °C.
Application
High-performance classic cars taking part in sporting events on public roads and on race tracks.
Worth knowing
Only the second number of the grade sets this oil apart from Novecento Racing 10W-40 on the label. Both are API SL, and their cold viscosity is the same: 6,800 mPa·s at -25 °C. Once the engine is hot they part company: 23.4 mm²/s at 100 °C here against 14.9 mm²/s for the 10W-40, and 165 mm²/s against 99 mm²/s at 40 °C. Under SAE J300 the first value falls within grade 60 (21.9 to 26.1 mm²/s) and the second within grade 40 (12.5 to under 16.3 mm²/s), so despite the shared API class and cold figure these are oils of different viscosity grades.
The nearest Novecento passenger-car oils fall short of grade 60: 20W-50 has 20.2 mm²/s, 15W-50 has 18.8 mm²/s, and the seasonal Novecento 50 has 21 mm²/s, which is still within grade 50. The viscosity value table sets out the limits of each SAE grade at 100 °C and in the cold.
