VALVOLINE VR1 20w/50 Racing Oil 5 Litres

Product Information

It would appear that a few things are getting cleared up, and that we are learning something, so that's good. With all the talk lately about roller lifters and oils...as well as flat tappet cam failure....I found this testing by Valvoline to be pretty interesting too. A combination of coverage from conventional and synthetic oil to help keep engines running like new. Never had to add in between filter changes and the engine was the only thing that was never touched in that vehicle. Still going strong with other owners AFAIK. Engine never apart so I couldn't really inspect parts. The latest API SM standard for car oils calls for a zinc and phosphorus content less than 0.08% to reduce sulfur, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbon emissions (this contradicts what the Valvoline guy said about SM having nothing to do with zinc/phos).As a result of this mandate, some motor oils now have as little as 0.05% zinc and phosphorus and many of the motor oils we tested did not have the levels as found in, for example, Mobil 1. However, it is worth noting that these new API guidelines do not apply to “racing,” “severe duty,” or any motor oils that do not carry an API “starburst” seal or clearly state for off-road-use only. Motor oils meeting “Energy Conserving I or II” standards should be avoided."

The worst thing that can happen to a racecar driver is to experience vehicle failure or malfunction. Such a predicament can end up affecting the seat time and leaving the driver weeks behind. And we can all agree that nobody likes to lose, especially if racing for profits. converters vs synthetic engine oil. For now, you should bear in mind that if you are planning to use Valvoline VR1 racing oil, make sure

About Klarna

If there is a difference, the resultant effect will most likely cause the engine to malfunction. There was a time when 75,000 miles meant that a car was about three-quarters of the way to the junkyard, but 200,000 is the new 100,000 miles for cars.

Unsurprisingly, such automotive beasts are powered by super-strong engines that are unlike their passenger car counterparts. Racing car motors produce extreme heat and pressure, as well as use more fuel due to the differences in power. Here are the product information sheets with test results for all of VR1, Not Street Legal conventional, and Not Street Legal Synthetic. It seems that's where some of the confusion has come from, where API SM called for reduced zinc/phos, BUT then doesn't apply to certain types, even those that don't have the "starburst seal", but would still say SM rated, but with only the API doughnut symbol, etc. Geez, who's on first? Gets rather involved doesn't it?
