Product Description From drag strips to paved and dirt ovals, racing performance demands race-level protection. Which is why motorsport teams and enthusiasts depend on Valvoline VR1 10W-30 Synthetic Racing Motor Oil, America’s #1 racing oil. Our exclusive high zinc and phosphorus fully synthetic formula is engineered specifically for modern and classic high-performance engines both on and off the track, which includes flat-tappet and performance cam motors. It’s chemically designed to reduce internal friction and enhance power output, while protecting critical engine parts from wear under the extreme conditions of racing. While its high load carrying characteristics, minimum foaming under stress and maximum resistance to thermal degradation ensure stability and lubrication. Valvoline VR1 Synthetic 10W-30 Racing Motor Oil is recommended for high-performance gasoline engines as well as those burning full or partial alcohol fuels. It is not recommended for vehicles with catalytic converters or in wet clutches. Go with the proven winner, Valvoline. The trusted motor oil brand for over 150 years. Amazon.com Motor oil is made from crude oil and is used to lubricate, clean, and cool engines. Types of motor oil include conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. Motor oil varies in weight and viscosity, as well as additives that some manufacturers add to the oil during the refining process. A numerical code system created by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades motor oils according to 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.SAE 10W-30This oil has a weight of SAE 10W-30, meaning it has an SAE viscosity rating of 10 in cold temperatures and a rating of 30 at normal operating temperature. Always check your vehicle's owner's manual to verify that this is the correct weight of motor oil for your vehicle.Full Synthetic OilThis oil is a full synthetic oil, meaning crude oil is not used in making it. Synthetic oil can be used in vehicle engines instead of motor oils refined from crude oil, and often provides superior mechanical performance over traditional motor oil, including increased gas mileage and reduced engine wear at extreme temperatures. Its complex method of production means it can often cost more than conventional motor oil. Racing OilRacing oils are designed for track cars and other types of high-compression vehicles intended for motorsports competition. They contain particular additives for increased engine horsepower and reduced friction on metal parts, and provide special protection for engines with high compression or higher horsepower. Racing oils usually include fewer detergents than regular conventional motor oils. Please note that many, if not all, oils labelled as racing oils are not street legal, and it is not recommended to put racing oil in a conventional passenger vehicle. Make sure to double-check the product label as well as the specifications of your vehicle to ensure proper usage.
