2nd for VR1. I use the non-synthetic version for (piston ring)
break in (one race weeked), then switch to the synthetic version. I
also add 4 oz of GM's EOS for a bit more ZDDP. Bearings typically
look almost brand new on my annual rebuild, and the cam stuff seems to be
OK too. I've got some good loads on the valvetrain.<br><br>
Seems to be about half the price of the other high quality oils (Brad
Penn, Redline, etc.)<br><br>
Cheers, Tony Drews<br><br>

lowered the ZDDP content in their oils, Valvoline VR1 Racing Oil,
continued to have ZDDP, but I am not sure whether the amount (%) of ZDDP
changed or not. Valvoline advertises this oil as containing ZDDP
and recommends it for flat tappet engines. Therefore, I have
continued to use Valvoline Racing Oil in all of my flat tappet
cars. I also used this same oil in my race car for 24 years and
have never had an oil related failure in either the race car or my street
cars. My comments apply to break in oils as well as normal running
oil. I just use a lighter weight for breaking in a street
engine. No break-in required on race engines.<br><br>

Interesting, I was recently getting opinions on Rotella locally, as I've
heard from a couple of guys they run it in this and that HP motors on a
regular basis (non Vintage guys), not just breakin. I sent a note to
Shell and they say =E2=80=9CT6 5W-40 has approximately 1280 parts per millio=
n
of ZDDP=E2=80=9D. This is about the same as the Mobil One I run. That
said a local detractor said it has too much detergent in his
opinion.<br><br>
SOoooo =96 that=E2=80=99s all I can say, no firsthand experience, but am
considering running it. I like the discussion, and BTW the Rotella isn't
particularly cheap, have to watch em, it's a 4 qt jug vs most others are
5 qt.<br><br>
Thanks<br>

I don't have an ax to grind with Lucas Oil products, but I sure do
endorse Shell Rotella as a race engine break-in oil. I always used
it exclusively in the diesel engine in my tow vehicle, and we used it to
break in race engines as well.<br><br>

posted on the bobistheoilguy website revealed that the lube picked up a
large mount of air compared to 'regular' gear lube. It makes me
distrust their other products.<br>
