The Hidden Cost of Skipping Fogging Oil: Why It's Not Worth the Risk

Introduction

You've spent time, money, and effort building or maintaining a high-performance engine. Whether you're a racer, engine builder, or weekend warrior, protecting that investment should be a no-brainer. But many skip fogging oil entirely, assuming it's unnecessary or just for long-term storage.

Here's the hard truth: not using fogging oil could cost you thousands—and not just in rebuilds. We'll break down the hidden costs of neglecting proper cylinder protection, explain why Foggit is different, and help you make a smarter decision before downtime bites back.

What Happens When You Don't Fog Your Engine

Even short-term storage can allow rust to start forming inside your engine. Modern race fuels are more corrosive. Engine tolerances are tighter. High-performance oils aren't designed to stick to cylinder walls once the engine stops running.

Here's what you risk without fogging oil:

• Surface rust on cylinder walls within days
• Pitting and corrosion on valve seats and rings
• Dry starts that cause unnecessary wear
• Loss of compression from compromised ring seal
• Blow-by and oil contamination that shortens engine life

It may not fail immediately—but performance drops, wear increases, and eventually, you're pulling the motor.

The Real Cost of Doing Nothing

Let's talk dollars.

• Replacing piston rings and honing cylinders: $1,000+
• Full rebuild: $3,000–$10,000+
• Lost time at the track or shop: Priceless

All of that can come from just a few weeks of unprotected downtime. Compared to that, a $20 can of Foggit is cheap insurance.

Why Foggit Is Different

Other fogging sprays run off, gum up, or simply don't stick. Foggit was engineered by racers, for racers, to protect what matters:

• Cling Factor – Foggit stays where it's sprayed, coating cylinder walls, valves, and critical surfaces
• Light Spray Dispersal – Foggit floats into hard-to-reach places instead of pooling or dripping
• Burns Clean – Foggit includes an accelerant, so it burns off clean on startup with zero power loss
• Doesn't Foul Plugs – No sticky mess or gummed-up spark plugs

Whether you're storing for a weekend or a season, Foggit seals your engine from rust and corrosion before it starts.
