Premium Valvoline VR1 Racing Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil, Pack of 6

Valvoline VR1 Racing Oil is formulated with high zinc to provide race-level protection for high-performance engines, whether they're on the track or on the highway. The exclusive chemistry of Valvoline Synthetic Racing Oil is designed to reduce friction and enhance power, making it a popular choice among all types of racing, including paved and dirt ovals, and drag racing. Designed for race engines, this oil is also compatible with passenger vehicles.

Motor oil is derived from crude oil and is used to lubricate, clean, and cool engines. There are various types of motor oil, including conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. The viscosity and weight of motor oil, as well as the additives included by manufacturers during the refining process, can vary.

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has created a numerical code system to grade motor oils based on viscosity. The higher the number between 0 and 60, the thicker the oil. Most consumer motor oils are graded with two numbers, with the first indicating cold weather (Winter or "W") performance. This particular oil has an SAE viscosity rating of 20 in cold temperatures and 50 at normal operating temperature, making it an SAE 20W-50 weight.

Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual to ensure you are using the correct weight of motor oil. This oil is a full synthetic, meaning it is not made from crude oil. Synthetic oils can be used in vehicle engines instead of traditional motor oils refined from crude oil, and often provide superior mechanical performance, including increased fuel efficiency and reduced engine wear at extreme temperatures. However, the complex production method can make synthetic oils more expensive than conventional motor oils.

Racing oils are specifically designed for track cars and other high-compression vehicles used in motorsports competitions. They contain additives that increase engine horsepower and reduce friction on metal parts, as well as provide special protection for engines with high compression or higher horsepower. Racing oils typically have fewer detergents than regular conventional motor oils. It's important to note that many, if not all, racing oils are not street legal, and it is not recommended to use them in conventional passenger vehicles. Always double-check the product label and your vehicle's specifications to ensure proper usage.

Valvoline's AMERICA'S RACING OIL is recommended for high-performance gasoline engines, including those that burn full or partial alcohol fuels. The FULL SYNTHETIC FORMULA is engineered specifically for modern and classic high-performance engines, both on and off the track, including flat-tappet and performance cam motors. SPECIAL FRICTION MODIFIERS help minimize friction and keep heat at bay for maximum power and torque at high RPMs, while 2X MORE ZINC FOR EXTREME WEAR PROTECTION provides even greater film strength and anti-wear protection on critical engine components. ENHANCED ANTI-FOAM AGENTS SAFEGUARD CRITICAL PARTS in high speeds and extreme conditions. This AMERICAN MADE & FORMULATED oil is designed to maximize your engine's life and improve its performance.
