Valvoline VR1 racing oil question

I'm always afraid to comment on oil threads and questions... so many different opinions and experts (I'm on of those weirdos!)... as long as 540Rat doesn't get involved all is good!

I have a quart of $2.98 Resolute racing oil in stock... I'm going to send it in to be anaylized to see if it's better or worse than the name brands. Can't hurt, and if it's good, it will save me a bunch since I have a 9 qt. pan to drain every two weeks or so...

I know what you mean. Lol

In a previous life I worked in rail transportation. Shipping primarily lubricants and waxes from refineries. You’d be surprised where big oil company A who had a “brand name” also shipped their lubricants.

Essentially - the only difference from brand X to brand Y is what additives they blend in. The stock is really all the same.
