Valvoline VR1 Racing 20W-50 5L Engine Oil

Purpose and Specifications

America's #1 racing oil, Valvoline VR1 Racing 20W-50 delivers extreme protection for high-performance engines in classic muscle cars, hot rods, and race cars with flat-tappet cams. This 5-liter can packs twice the zinc of standard oils for superior wear protection on pistons, cams, and bearings during high-RPM runs.

• Flows smoothly at cold starts down to -20°C and stays thick up to 150°C for reliable lubrication in extreme heat.
• Special friction modifiers boost horsepower and torque by reducing internal drag.
• Enhanced anti-foam agents prevent oil breakdown at high speeds, keeping critical parts safe.
• High zinc formula fights wear in pushrod and flat-tappet engines burning gasoline or alcohol fuels.

Meets ACEA A3/B4, API SL specs. Not for catalytic converters or wet clutches.

When to Use / Replace?

Use in high-compression motors for track days, street performance, or air-cooled engines pushing limits. Ideal for rebuilds needing zinc protection. Replace every 5,000-8,000 km or 6 months in racing/street use, or sooner after extreme sessions. Shelf life: 5 years sealed.
