I picked up some 20w-50 Valvoline racing oil at my local Advace Auto this weekend, but the bottle didn't say anything about synthetic. I also didn't see anything about it being not street legal. I'll double check it tonight. It'll be a few weeks still before I get a chance to try it out on my new build, though.
Valvoline produces both dino and synthetic oils labeled "racing".
"NOT STREET LEGAL"? Most bizarre- unless it has beaucoup amounts of ZDDP that (ALLEGEDLY) would foul cat convertors... Why would oil be spec'd as such?
Mainly it's just semantics/marketing, probably due to the fact that it contains little to 0 detergents in the add. pack (to preclude any super high rpm foaming??).
Thats the stuff. Anyone tested it yet? Anyone
However, they do make a synthetic NSL Racing Oil. Click here.

Definitely NOT a street oil. Is there enough of everything else though for proper protection at high RPM's?
What else should there be that would show up on a simple elemental sample?
Well, looks like we found the rest of the add pack from AC.... I feel a blend coming on from TallPaul.
