Motor oil is derived from crude oil and is used to lubricate, clean, and cool engines. There are different types of motor oil, such as conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. The oil's weight and viscosity, 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 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.
This particular oil has an SAE viscosity rating of 10 in cold temperatures and 30 at normal operating temperature, making it an SAE 10W-30 motor oil. It's essential to consult your vehicle's owner's manual to ensure you're using the correct weight of motor oil.
This oil is a conventional motor oil, meaning it is refined from crude oil or petroleum products. Conventional motor oils may or may not have additives included after refining. They are more versatile than synthetic or hybrid motor oils, as they are suitable for use with nearly all types of modern vehicle engines, from cars and trucks to motorcycles, ATVs, farm equipment, and more.
Racing oils are designed specifically for track cars and other high-compression vehicles used in motorsports competition. They contain particular additives for increased engine horsepower and reduced friction on metal parts, providing special protection for engines with high compression or higher horsepower. Racing oils usually include fewer detergents than regular conventional motor oils, and they may not be street legal for use in conventional passenger vehicles. It's essential to double-check the product label and your vehicle's specifications to ensure proper usage.
Valvoline's VR1 Motor Oil offers high performance and protection for today's high-revving engines. It features new ashless anti-wear additives combined with ZDDP to provide ultimate wear protection, an enhanced anti-foam system to protect the engine even during extreme stress, and enhanced additives to protect against high-temperature deposits for a cleaner engine. Additionally, it includes friction modifiers to help improve horsepower output.
