VALVOLINE VR1 20w/50 Racing Oil 5 Litres

Product Information

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. Valvoline VR1 Racing is a 20w-50 mineral engine oil that’s formulated to deliver maximum engine performance in both turbocharged and non-turbo petrol engines. The unique chemistry of Valvoline’s VR1 Racing oil reduces harmful friction in the engine and enhances engine power, perfect for drivers seeking race-level performance that doesn’t compromise on protection. Although it’s one of the most popular engine oils for racing, Valvoline VR1 is also 100% compatible with passenger cars that take 20W-50 lubricant. We do not disclose this information. One reason is that there are oil companies that strive on numbers alone and try to make it a numbers game. Well the problem we have with this is that the other oil companies could try and get the same numbers as we have even if their product does not have the same quality and performance gains as ours. This could make a customer think they are buying a great product based on the numbers. If all the numbers on the sheets are the same how would you decide on which oil to choose? Price? All I can tell you is our motor oil exceeds the levels for the API service SL and our MaxCycle and XPR are even beefier than that. Thank you for understanding. What application are you looking to protect? If it is a flat tappet cam or a high performance cam, you will be safe to run any of our oils.

Valvoline stands behind the flat-tappet and more aggressive type cam applications 100% with our Valvoline VR1 and NSL Racing oils. The proof is in our product information sheets, which are online for the viewing as well. and that too if the car is used for actual racing. Otherwise, the catalytic converters are still going to get damaged if the car is While the extra layer of Zinc and Phosphorous shield the engine against metal-on-metal damages, the oil also damages the catalytic Like any other product, there are other competing oils for your racing car in the market. Its major contender is none other than an oil from its own range of racing lubricants, the Valvoline 10W-30 VR1 racing motor oil. The oil also helps increase your vehicle gas mileage while reducing unnecessary engine wear at extremely high and low temperatures. However, as synthetic oil is derived through a complicated production method, the oil costs more than conventional motor oils. Tailored for gasoline and full or partial alcohol fuels

Since race car engines have extremely high RPM, the oil requires additional lubrication, perfect viscosity and just the right amount of anti-wear additives for maximum performance. In that realm, Valvoline Co. managed to get the percentages right – and that is exactly why this oil is the number one preferred brand among race car owners from all over the world. This label means that the oil is specifically meant for race car engines. On that note, one single refill will last you about 450 – 500 miles As the Valvoline VR-1 is synthetic, no crude oil was used in its making. Like most synthetic oils, the oil gives much better mechanical performance than traditional motor oils made from crude oil. Think of using a sloppy quality synthetic engine oil during extreme winter conditions. The oil gets solid and it prevents the engine from turning over smoothly. That’s what happens when Valvoline VR1 is used for regular non-racing cars. It would be better to admit that this oil was made for racing cars, and other street-legal racing vehicles, such as Mustang, Camaro 406 and vice versa.

Here are the product information sheets with test results for all of VR1, Not Street Legal conventional, and Not Street Legal Synthetic. Synthetic motor oils are inherently more stable and less prone to thermal breakdown vs. conventional oils. Converters and Catalytic Converters, it is better to talk to a professional or someone who has experience with both engine types. 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. 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?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.

Started with a well broken in, flat tappet cam engine around 10,000 miles and used it till over 120,000 mi.
