Designed to deliver high performance and protection for today's high-revving engines, Valvoline's VR1 Motor Oil is the #1 selling racing motor oil and has been proven on the racetrack. Its exclusive chemistry is engineered to reduce friction and enhance power output.
VR1 Racing Motor Oil is among the most popular engine lubricants in all types of motorsports, including CART, stock car, and drag racing. It is recommended for engines burning gasoline and full or partial alcohol fuels, both on the track and on the street.

Motor oil is a crucial component in the operation of any engine, serving to lubricate, clean, and cool the moving parts. There are various types of motor oil, including conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (a blend of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils.
Motor oils vary in weight and viscosity, as well as the additives that manufacturers may include during the refining process. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has developed a numerical code system to grade motor oils based on their viscosity, with the higher numbers between 0 and 60 indicating a more viscous (thicker) oil.
Most consumer motor oils are graded with two numbers, where the first number represents the oil's performance in cold weather (Winter or "W" conditions). This particular oil has an SAE 50 weight, meaning it has a single SAE viscosity rating of 50 at normal operating temperature.
It is always important to refer to your vehicle's owner's manual to ensure you are using the correct weight of motor oil for your specific model.
This VR1 Motor 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 the refining process. 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, like VR1, are designed specifically for track cars and other high-compression vehicles intended for motorsports competition. They contain specialized additives to increase engine horsepower and reduce friction on metal parts, while also providing enhanced protection for engines with high compression or higher horsepower. Racing oils typically include fewer detergents than regular conventional motor oils. It is important to note that many, if not all, oils labeled as racing oils are not street legal, and it is not recommended to use them in a conventional passenger vehicle. Always double-check the product label and your vehicle's specifications to ensure proper usage.
