Did Vavoline discontinue their VV851 20w50 (not street legal) oil ? or was it replaced with something different ?
 
Not sure about the not for street, the regular VR1 is everywhere. I think the only major difference is the not for street has very little detergent the zinc is about the same
 
I looked all over the Valvoline site and didn't see anything on "VV851".
 
Looks like this, the zinc content for VV851 was supposedly higher then most, this is the reason it says not street legal, so people will catalytic converters on their daily drivers will not use it.
