VALVOLINE VR1 20w/50 Racing Oil 5 Litres

Product Information

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. 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.

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. Within the race engine oil category, Valvoline VR1 tends to perform better because of the boosted levels of Zinc and Phosphorous. Both of these chemicals act as antiwear compounds in synthetic engine oil. As a result, the engine’s performance is boosted to above optimal 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. While the extra layer of Zinc and Phosphorous shield the engine against metal-on-metal damages, the oil also damages the catalyticThe oil is specially formulated to control any friction in the engine when in use and the process improves the engine performance even in extreme service conditions. This is why the oil is today one of the reigning leaders in lubricants used for any type of racing including drag racing and dirt and paved ovals. Low viscosity converters. These converters are also installed in sports bikes that are above 600CC category. Now if you don’t know about Cam 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."

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. I am waiting for a shipment of AmsOil to arrive for my HD and vette. My engine is not raced and has hydraulic lifters so not a race engine. I am only concerned with high temps that is a problem over here. Does anyone have experience with AmsOil ??S.Florida so temps are pretty high daily. If it is racing oil you are looking for your high-performance racing car; then the Valvoline 20W-50 motor oil is oil worth trying out. It is affordably priced in a set of 6 lightweight one-quart bottles. CI-4 PLUS oils do not have a limit on ZDDP, so the amount in specific CI-4 PLUS oils depends on the additive treat used by the oil marketer. You can safely say that CI-4 PLUS oils have a fair amount of ZDDP. Valvoline High Mileage with Maxlife Technology is formulated specifically to combat issues like friction, deposits and sludge in aging engines.Meanwhile, for race cars, Valvoline VR1 should be changed after every 500 miles. Racecar engines have high RPM, and oil consumption is higher as compared to regular car engines. Therefore, it is best to change the oil once it has reached, or is about to reach the 500-mile threshold. 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.

Synthetic motor oils are inherently more stable and less prone to thermal breakdown vs. conventional oils. 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?Valvoline's High Mileage 150k+ is our first motor oil specially formulated for engines over 150,000 miles.
