I`ve never seen VR1 synth at Autozone before. How much are they getting per quart for it?
On sale in the flyer and in store. You can buy the VR1 in Syn or conventional. I just payed $2.25($4.50 reg price) per quart for the VR1 conventional 20W50. Syn was around $4 a quart after the sale price. Can get 12 quarts per person... The guy said I could go in and out of the store as many times I wanted. I was happy to get 12 quarts...
VR1 is a conventional racing oil and the synthetic oil is called Valvoline Racing Synthetic...
Both are 50% off through May 31st.

Shaker hood/scoop or not?
I like the way they look without it!
It's the way they were raced in the Trans Am series, and the dude on my floor at the University of Arizona had a blue one (sans scoop) with black painted real Minilites on his, replete with long lugs!!
This was in 1976, BTW.

Shaker hood and grabber Orange...
Anyone know the ZDDP levels of the 20/50 synthetic racing oil?
Please do not hold me to it but I think the syn is 1400PPM...
Autozone does have 10W30 50% off in the Valvoline synthetic racing oil.
I just bought 100 quarts yesterday....

At my local stores at least, the SAE 50 was $1.99 a quart - 50% off that.....
Also, Valvoline is doing a B1G1 MIR. Buy 1 case, Get 1 MIR for 1 case. I bought 100 quarts yesterday for $157 including tax. If I get almost half of that back in MIR's.....

I would not say that it is watered down. Still a great oil with plenty of zinc/additives for 99.9% of all applications(1300-1400ppm zinc/phos). Also can not beat the price.
I also know guys that use it in $500,000 Shelby's for road racing, so it can not be that bad of an oil.

You are clueless and misinformed and should get the facts before making that claim. Recent UOA on VR-1 shows it is as I say . Look at the last sample of VR-1 from 8/2009 see the trend. God knows what it's at now.

Is it almost rebadged White Bottle? What weight were you running on that UOA?
