Valvoline 881172 VR1 Racing SAE 20W-50 High Zinc Conventional Motor Oil 5 Qt

Valvoline VR1 Racing SAE 20W-50 is the original high-performance motor oil engineered specifically for pushrod, flat-tappet, and high-compression race engines. With a proven track record dating back to 1965, VR1 delivers race-level protection for both track and street use in classic muscle cars, modern high-performance vehicles, and dedicated race cars.

This conventional 20W-50 formula features a high-zinc and phosphorus additive package — including ZDDP (zinc dialkyldithiophosphate) at up to 2X the concentration found in standard motor oils — delivering superior film strength and extreme anti-wear protection on critical engine components including pistons, cams, and bearings.

Key Features:

• High Zinc/Phosphorus Formula (ZDDP): Up to 2X more zinc than conventional motor oils for extreme anti-wear protection on pistons, cams, and bearings
• Friction Modifiers: Specially formulated to reduce internal friction and boost horsepower and torque at high RPMs
• Enhanced Anti-Foam Agents: Safeguard critical engine parts under high-speed and extreme stress conditions
• Maximum Thermal Stability: Resists thermal degradation and maintains lubrication stability in high-compression, high-temperature environments
• High Load-Carrying Characteristics: Engineered for the extreme loads found in flat-tappet and performance cam applications
• Fuel Compatibility: Recommended for engines burning gasoline and full or partial alcohol fuels
• API Rating: Meets or exceeds all requirements of API SL and all preceding API gasoline categories

Specifications:

• Viscosity Grade: SAE 20W-50
• Oil Type: Conventional
• Container Size: 5 Quarts (1.25 Gallon)
• Sold as: Case of 3 (15 Quarts Total)

Note: VR1 Racing Motor Oil is not recommended for use in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters or in wet clutch applications due to its high zinc and phosphorus content.
