Compatible with gasoline and partial alcohol fuels, this 5-quart jug is the original motorsports oil trusted since 1965 to safeguard high-compression engines under extreme conditions.

## Description

Until 1965, there was no high-performance racing oil. So we engineered one. Specially designed for pushrod and flat-tappet engines, Valvoline VR1 Conventional Racing Oil includes friction modifiers to boost horsepower at high RPMs. Our exclusive formula features phosphorus and up to 2X more zinc to protect engines from wear in extreme conditions like motor sports. The race-proven motor oil delivers high-load carrying characteristics, enhanced anti-foaming and maximum resistance to thermal degradation, ensuring stability and excellent lubrication in high-compression motors. Compatible with gasoline and partial alcohol fuels in track and street service, VR1 is not recommended for use in vehicles with catalytic converters or in wet clutches. Whether it’s a classic muscle car, a modern high-performance vehicle or a race car, push the limits of what’s possible with Valvoline VR1.

## 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!
