INDIANAPOLIS, IN (May 22, 2025) – As the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 marks a historic shift with the debut of hybrid power in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, Lucas Oil Products, the Indianapolis-based industry leader in high-performance lubricants, is launching its first hybrid fuel amplifier and hybrid oil amplifier engineered specifically to meet the evolving needs of today’s hybrid engines.
Just as INDYCAR is advancing into a new era of technology and efficiency, Lucas Oil is responding to the same global shift with a new suite of consumer-focused innovations designed to maximize hybrid performance, extend component life and safeguard critical systems by combating start-stop wear, water contamination and corrosion. Last year, hybrid vehicles accounted for 10% of all light-duty vehicle sales in the United States, marking a record high.
“We see the move to hybrid technology at the Indy 500 as symbolic of the ongoing innovation in the automotive space – more diverse vehicles, powertrains and technologies,” said Morgan Lucas, CEO of Lucas Oil. “As the best-selling additive company in America, we are committed to delivering quality solutions that meet the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s drivers. Our new hybrid-specific product line is the latest example of how our US-based manufacturing and sophisticated R&D are adapting for the demands of modern vehicles whether it’s hybrid, high-mileage, clean diesel and everything in between.”
While the company will not directly supply products for the Indianapolis 500, Lucas Oil’s decades-long presence across professional motorsports – including its 20-year partnership with the Arrow McLaren INDYCAR Team – continues to inform its broader innovation strategies and consumer product development.
“It’s awesome to see INDYCAR take a step forward with the first hybrid Indy 500,” said Tony Kanaan, Team Principal at Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team. “Every team will be challenged in a new way this year, and we’ll see who makes the most of it come race day. Lucas Oil works like we do–staying ahead of the curve and constantly pushing for high performance.”
The new Lucas Oil hybrid oil and fuel amplifiers will be available at retailers nationwide in late summer 2025.
