Valvoline VR1 ??
I have been running Valvoline VR1 racing oil in my other race cars because it has the extra zinc(etc) to protect the valve train during racing abuse. So what should I use?
I run 50 wt during the summer and 20-50 during the winter months in SoCal. |

+1 on Castrol 50 wt. Its worked for me for years now. Not racing mind you, but
running to redline often enough.

I go with Royal Purple myself, but I have never seriously raced, and it is primarily on my daily driver rotaries.

From what I've read Royal Purple is waaay overpriced. But it's not common in Aus yet. I was running penrite oil previously but my mate swears by the castrol GTX so it's probably what I'll run in the new engine.
