Were the purchases made on the same day?

No issues with the two cars I've switched to VR-1.

ALKada

I noticed when I purchased VR1 synthetic racing that it stated it was NOT a detergent based oil for street use. I think the VR1 dino version is a street oil with detergent.

There are three versions of VR-1 by Valvoline:

VR1 Conventional
VR1 Synthetic
VR1 Specialty Racing Oil ("Not Street Legal") - The low-detergent, high zinc racing oil optimized for track-use only, delivers increased horspower and extreme wear protection



They all come on 20w-50

I have the synthetic VR1, Autozone was getting rid of their stock last summer. Got it for $4.50 a quart, have over 30 quarts.

Running it in my non race 928, besides not having a detergent added is there any harm using the racing oil?

finally!

No, different days and since diff names and addresses no way they could match up to us and printed two different rebate forms of which BOTH said $50 rebate.

I am of the opinion that their oil sucks, but maybe their racing oil is better.

Got my rebates a while back.

Oddly enough, the one for $15.00 came back as $50.00 and the one for $50.00 came back as $49.14.

I guess i am really behind the time, but i just noticed (or told) the zinc levels has been reduced.

My mechanic friend was complaining to me about all of the oil brand's are not holding up to their weight levels and now the zinc problems.

He was demonstrating a S-weight 50 Valvoline, in 30 degree temp. The viscosity should have been really THICK, but it was not.

Is it true we can only get the good oil at a racing shop? Walmart and other stores will only sell the (zero) or low grade zinc products.

I heard from another racing shop, who does chevy's race cars, they are using straight weight and a mixture of a lucas product. Reason, race engine failures since the zinc removal.

I guess Brad Penns is the way to go? I was doing a search for his product in INDY.

Thoughts?

I heard that greg brown likes to use torco oil in his builds...so I am switching to torco until they change their formula
