I had a leak coming from around one cam tower. I thought "oh sh*t". I took a plastic mallet and gently but persistently tapped all around the cover as the engine cooled down. No more leak.

I've heard of people wiggling and turning oil return tubes to get them to stop leaking. That sometimes works.

Same here. I've switched to the VR-1 exclusively. No leaks and no oil usage during the whole Lime Rock event.

Thanks for the heads up Ed!

I picked up two cases and gonna go back for at least 2 more. My 911 will be happy.

No problem....I need to go get some more tomorrow. With luck, I may use up and discard the oil in this first case tomorrow afternoon!!

do they carry BP??

I have had no luck fiinding it anywhere in Seattle except at my indy (who although he knows me very welll doesnt mind charging me heavy for it - wait.... maybe BECAUSE he knows me so well is why I get charged so much )

Ed Hughes

No. Look on the BP website for dist near you.

I'm hitting all of my local Autozones to buy their available stock.

VR1 is exceptional oil as a choice for non-synth. Good heads-up Ed. I (and many others) hope you use that case up real soon as well. Good luck with the first twist of the key.

Ed-Thanks for the heads up. Got two cases of VR-1 today!

Ditto Ed, thanks! I'll try to take advantage of the sale before the 31st. My son bought his Mobil 1 for his WRX today and he said it was $20 less that he usually pays...good deal!

Another heads up:

I hit my 4th Autozone, and after buying 60 qts, they are trying to stop the 50% off price on non-synthetic Valvoline. Fortunately, the price still comes up as 2.77 per qt, and I see they have another 40 qts. in their system. There must be more Autozones.....

I was excited today, till I read these prices!!

East coasters may still benifit from the sale $45/case (plus shipping) on BP 20W50
