Review: Prices are affordable now, as compared to a decade ago… I prefer the full synthetic version, but would not mind running the synthetic blend version if this isn’t available. They only carry 10W-30 and 20W-50 in this full synthetic version; but if you need other heavier oil weights, such as 30W, 40W, 50W, or 60W, then you need the conventional oil blend version (comes in the silver/gray colored container). My local Autozone carries both the full synth and synth blend, but only at certain locations, and also only in 20w-50 weight. Most people don’t even bother to get it, so I’m assuming it’s aimed at classic performance/race engines (with flat tappets, etc.), which need the extra zinc and phosphorus content. I’m hoping the people with newer, modern cars (requiring oil with API SM, SN, etc. rating) know what they’re putting into their engines, and expelling through their exhaust systems… I’ve seen the specs for the zinc (ZDDP) and phosphorus content, and it’s not exactly something you’d want to run 24/7 and especially for a daily driver with OEM catalytic converters…. So do yourself a favor; if you have a NEWER, MODERN vehicle with CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, STOP using this product, or you’ll end up contaminating them in God knows when. Then you’ll throw O2 sensor codes probably (once those go bad too), and then you’ll be fixing everything from there…. ## Features - AMERICA’S #1 RACING OIL is recommended for high-performance gasoline engines as well as those burning full or partial alcohol fuels - FULL SYNTHETIC FORMULA is engineered specifically for modern and classic high-performance engines both on and off the track, which includes flat-tappet and performance cam motors. - SPECIAL FRICTION MODIFIERS help minimize friction, keeping heat at bay for maximum power and torque at high RPMs. - 1.7X MORE ZINC FOR EXTREME WEAR PROTECTION for even greater film strength and anti-wear protection on critical engine components such as pistons, cams and bearings - ENHANCED ANTI-FOAM AGENTS SAFEGUARD CRITICAL PARTS in high speeds and extreme conditions - AMERICAN MADE & FORMULATED to maximize your engine’s life and improve it’s performance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002ZSM2B0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #172,943 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #1,174 in Automotive Oils | | Brand | Valvoline | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (80) | | Date First Available | 16 May 2019 | | Item Weight | 830 g | | Item model number | 679083 | | Manufacturer | Valvoline | | Manufacturer Part Number | 679083 | | Model | VR1 Racing Synthetic | | OEM Part Number | 679083 | | Position | Unknown | | Product Dimensions | 10.74 x 6.73 x 22.86 cm; 830 g | | Special Features | AMERICA’S #1 RACING OIL is recommended for high-performance gasoline engines as well as those burning full or partial alcohol fuels | | Viscosity | 10W 30 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Valvoline - **Liquid volume:** 1 Quarts - **Package information:** Bottle - **Vehicle service type:** Car - **Viscosity:** 10W 30 ## Images ![VR1 Racing Synthetic SAE 10W-30 Motor Oil 1 QT - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kuRkQSblL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this a full synthetic ? I notice they sell a black container also.** A: The silver container is conventional oil and has about 1400 ppm ZDDP. The black container is full synthetic and has about 1200 ppm ZDDP. Both of these oils have exceptional shear/anti wear properties, but the high phosphorus content will foul catalytic converters over time. **Q: Might be a dumb question but is this oil synthetic? I don't see anything on it that says it is.** A: This oil is organic. The Valvoline 20W50 synthetic oil has a black label, and it clearly states "synthetic" on the label. I use the synthetic in my 1952 MG TD because the oil has high zinc content that is a must for older engines. **Q: Is the $32.36 price for a case of 6 quarts?** A: $32.69 plus shipping is the cost for 6 quarts of #211 20w50 racing oil **Q: The date codes on the bottles are July 2013. Do you have any oil for sale that is newer? Say late 2014?** A: I wont buy a out dated oil... unopened oil has a 2 year shelf life! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***C on 13 November 2024* Good oil.
