Oil Change Question?

Hi Tom,
I am in the same mileage boat as you, maybe even a bit less. I also use Valvoline 10W30 VR 1 oil (part #VV205 ) with either a Wix or Baldwin oil filter. I change my oil in the late fall before she takes a nap. My reasoning for the fall change is because of all the acids in the oil that have accumulated during the Spring/ Summer driving. I don’t want that stuff sitting in the crankcase during the Winter. Food for thought...
Take Care,

Hi Guys,
I think we need clarification on the VR 1 racing oils...as I stated above I use VR1 10W30 part#VV205 for increased zinc/ phosphorus content for my flat tappet 318. There is also a VR1 racing oil NSL (Not Street Legal) part#VV850 that is only meant to be used for less than 500 miles for real racing applications as it has higher zinc/ phosphorus and probably no detergents. I hope this info brings to light the differences and puts any concerns about using VR1 (VV205) to rest. I have been using Valvoline in all my Mopars through the years and they have always done their job.
Take Care,
Greg
