Talked to the motor guy I know yesterday. From what he's heard there was a nationwide recall due to a labeling issue. Sounds like it's gunna go back on the shelves re labeled as a "break in oil" to keep it legal with the amount of zinc in it. I guess lucas oil already did the same thing.

Well f*ck what's the next closest quality oil to vr1 😔


Sent from my iPhone using SoCal Jet Boats

Joe Gibbs... Actually way better oil and about the only thing I use anymore since it has way more good shit in it than vr1. Vr1 has always been, "... If you can't get this... Then this will be ok." As a secondary choice.

Only problem is that turns a oil change into a 150$ day

You spend $5k to $15k or more on a motor and don't want to spend $30 more for oil... I did that once, it cost me a motor, won't do it again, wouldn't recommend it to anyone

$150??? How big is your pan? 16qts? 10qt pan and a filter should run no more than $105. About no more than 30 bucks than VR1. Unless you change it 8 times a season... I can't see how this would be the make or break deal for affording maintenance. After tearing down engines with several oils, plus trying a couple in back to back dyno tests... The Joe Gibbs is by far the best bang for the buck. I mean you can get all super fruity on synthetics and such... But as far as dead dinosaur juice goes... Best shit I've come across. Only reason I ever recommended the other was IF you can't get preferred "A"... Then second choice "B" will suffice.

Amazon has Vr1 for roughly 36 bucks for 6 quarts. And free delivery by Tuesday. Doing an oil change this week, is that a good deal

Been using VR1 for years on my street rod running a solid flat tappet cam with no problems. It, along with my boat will get the Joe Gibbs next oil change.
Sounds like The VR1 will be more available once the labeling issue is resolved, but the JG sounds like a better, more focused product overall.
A few extra bucks every oil change is way cheaper than replacing a flat cam……..


BTW: the Lucas brand 'Hot Rod & Classic' motor oil claims to be high in ZDDP content & appears to be available at Autozone & such.  Seems like it would work in a pinch if you need to add a quart or so to your engine already running VR1

Just ordered 16 qts of 20/50 vr1 for our Comp Jet Motor from Summit. Ordered on Friday, showed up early on Monday.
We use it for break in or one race weekend. Then change it out for 16 qts. Lucas Synthetic.
