Purpose and Specifications

Valvoline VR1 Racing 10W-60 5L is a premium semi-synthetic engine oil built for high-performance petrol engines in turbocharged and non-turbo cars like BMW and Ferrari. It delivers race-proven protection with special additives that boost power output, fight wear, and maintain a strong oil film during extreme heat over 100°C and high RPM track use.

This oil flows easily when cold for quick startup protection down to -25°C, stays thick at high temps for stable lubrication, and resists breakdown from oxidation. Specs include ACEA A3/B4, GM 6094M, FIAT 9.55535-H3 approvals, perfect for racing, rallying, or fast road driving—not for daily cars with catalytic converters.

When to Use / Replace?

Use in high-performance engines under track stress, high-speed runs, or motorsport where standard oils fail. Ideal for short, intense sessions; switch to everyday oil for long street commutes.

• Replace every 3,000-5,000 km or after each race/event to keep protection maxed.
• Change every 3-6 months if stored, with 5-year shelf life unopened in cool, dry spot.
• Monitor during hot weather over 40°C ambient or sustained high RPM.
