Valvoline VR1

[Moraystag]

Gent's am having a little trouble getting a deffinitive answer from my local VR1 stockist, young girl on reception. Obviously I have asked for full mineral VR1 Racing, however she was not to sure if it was synthetic or not ??.
However she has sent a data sheet, and I'm sure that this is indeed what I'm looking for. Have a look at the attachment and if possible could anyone confirm that this is the correct mineral oil.

Thank's for that Sukh, will collect it tomorrow or Monday.
Yes your right I have not been very active on the forum due to a new job that I have taken abroad. Longer away I'm afraid but a better salary. Wheres there's an up side there's always a down side I'm afraid. First trip of 7 1/2 weeks, but all in all not a bad little number.
Am taking the opertunity while I'm home on leave to give the engine an oil change before laying the old beast up for the winter.
I used 20w-50 mineral from my previous supplier unfortunately they no longer deal with Valvoline, and he gave me oil made by Goldline. He said, as would be expected, that it was as good as Valvoline, but to be honest it was not. Only did about 700 miles with it in and I was not impressed. I noticed a drop in oil pressure as well, so that stuff is getting dumped and the tried and tested type going back in.
Takecare

Hi Sukh,

I bought some oil last week using the old code of oilspill30 and got 30% off - might be worth trying. They have emailed me with a new code: LASTCHANCE25
