Valvoline VR1 Racing Oil's high zinc formula provides
race-level protection for high performance engines on the race track or the
highway. Its exclusive chemistry is designed to reduce friction and enhance
power. It is among the most popular engine lubricants in all types of racing,
including paved and dirt ovals and drag racing. It is formulated for race
engines, but compatible with passenger vehicles too. Motor oil is
made from crude oil and is used to lubricate, clean, and cool engines. Types
of motor oil include conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid
(blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. Motor oil varies in
weight and viscosity, as well as additives that some manufacturers add to the
oil during the refining process. A numerical code system created by the
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades motor oils according to viscosity
--the higher the number between 0 and 60, the more viscous (thicker) the oil
is. Most consumer motor oils are graded by two numbers, with the first number
indicating cold weather (Winter or "W") performance.SAE 20W-50This oil has a
weight of SAE 20W-50, meaning it has an SAE viscosity rating of 20 in cold
temperatures and a rating of 50 at normal operating temperature. Always check
your vehicle's owner's manual to verify that this is the correct weight of
motor oil for your vehicle.Full Synthetic OilThis oil is a full synthetic oil,
meaning crude oil is not used in making it. Synthetic oil can be used in
vehicle engines instead of motor oils refined from crude oil, and often
provides superior mechanical performance over traditional motor oil, including
increased gas mileage and reduced engine wear at extreme temperatures. Its
complex method of production means it can often cost more than conventional
motor oil. Racing OilRacing oils are designed for track cars and other types
of high-compression vehicles intended for motorsports competition. They
contain particular additives for increased engine horsepower and reduced
friction on metal parts, and provide special protection for engines with high
compression or higher horsepower. Racing oils usually include fewer detergents
than regular conventional motor oils. Please note that many, if not all, oils
labelled as racing oils are not street legal, and it is not recommended to put
racing oil in a conventional passenger vehicle. Make sure to double-check the
product label as well as the specifications of your vehicle to ensure proper
usage. P.when('A').execute(function(A) {

Manufacturer Valvoline VR1 Racing Motor Oil - High Zinc Provides Race-Level
Protection for Any Vehicle Valvoline offers a line of racing motor oils that
are designed for the serious racer. Race car engines are operated at high
speeds for hours at a time. In order to get optimal performance from your
engine, it is important to choose the right racing motor oil. Racing oils are
critical for creating a balance between preventing wear and engine failure
while maintaining power and durability. Valvoline racing oils are optimized
for track use and engineered to provide you with maximum horsepower while
protecting engine parts in extreme racing conditions. Each racing oil product
has been engineered with both power and durability in mind. Plus, they are
specially formulated with zinc and phosphorus additives to create a protective
film that reduces metal-to-metal contact and friction on engine parts. More
NASCAR Sprint Cup and top NHRA crew chiefs use Valvoline. Valvoline Racing
Oil's exclusive chemistry is designed to reduce friction and enhance power. It
is among the most popular engine lubricants in all types of racing including

Valvoline VR1 Racing Motor Oil When did Valvoline start making motor oil
specifically for racing? Racers have been depending on Valvoline for more than
100 years. Valvoline formulated the first racing motor oil in 1965 and
Valvoline VR-1 Racing Motor Oil is the best-selling motor oil of all time. It
can also be used for today's cars. What are the benefits to using a racing oil
versus a regular "street legal" oil? The Valvoline VR1 Racing and "Not Street
Legal" Racing Oils contain additional additives for increased horsepower and
reduced friction on metal parts, provide extra wear protection for high
compression/higher horsepower engines, and include less detergents than
regular conventional motor oils. What is zinc? The anti-wear additive simply
referred to as "zinc" by most car enthusiasts is actually short for Zinc
DialkylDithiophosphates or ZDDP. Its primary role is to prevent metal-to-metal
contact between engine parts by forming a protective film. Despite being
referred to as "zinc," this additive actually contains zinc and phosphorus,
with phosphorus performing the anti-wear function. Why have the
zinc/phosphorus levels in motor oil changed? With ever increasing limits on
emissions, automobile manufacturers have tightened emission control systems on
newer vehicles. This is one of several factors considered when the American
Petroleum Institute (API) sets standards for motor oil. The current API
standard is "SM" which replaced the previous "SL" classification. Because
phosphorus can poison a vehicle's emission system, the level of zinc is lower
for current motor oil. What is the controversy surrounding the amount of zinc
in motor oil? Many hands-on car enthusiasts and engine experts believe the
lower levels of zinc in "SM" motor oil is causing excessive wear in older
style push-rod and flat tappet engines. This is despite the fact that all new
motor oil classifications are intended to be backward compatible. This has
resulted in the widely accepted belief that modern motor oil is not adequate
to protect older engines. What solutions does Valvoline offer to the zinc
issue? Valvoline offers two solutions to the zinc issue: 1. Valvoline VR1:
Contains 75% higher zinc than SM motor oil with a balanced additive package
designed to work in both racing and street-legal applications. This product
will protect older style push-rod and flat tappet engines. Valvoline provides
this product in both multi and mono viscosity grades: 20w50, straight 50,
10w30, straight 30, straight 40, and straight 60. 2. Longer-Lasting
Zinc/Phosphorus: Valvoline uses an advanced zinc/phosphorus additive that
keeps higher levels of phosphorus in the motor oil where it protects the
engine instead of poisoning the catalytic converter. Valvoline is the only
brand offering this unique additive across its entire line of passenger car
motor oils including SynPower -- the only synthetic offering this additive.
Which oil has more zinc/ZDDP: VR1 or "Not Street Legal" oil? Valvoline VR1
Racing Oil contains .13% of Zinc and .12% of Phosphorus compared to the
Valvoline "Not Street Legal" Racing Oil which contains .14% of Zinc and .13%
of Phosphorus. Can I use an additive to boost the zinc level? You can use an
additive to increase the zinc level. However, check with your motor oil
manufacturer to ensure the additive is compatible with your motor oil. Is VR1
a conventional oil, a synthetic or a blend? Valvoline VR1 is a conventional,
non-synthetic racing oil. See more
