Racing oil tends to leave deposits in the combution chamber. I would not use it for street use. I just did a complete rebuild on my motor in which I used racing oil  & the chambers were full of deposits.

Mark,

Racing oils tend to have more zinc. Try looking for them. As has already
been mentioned, the "starburst" on the label is a sure sign that it doesn't
have what you want.
