Great stuff that I have used exclusively since 197
I have a 91 Dodge 250 with Diesel engine and a 5 speed Getrag standard transmission. The truck had automatic transmission fluid in the transmission when I got it. I changed to Valvoline 20w50 VR1. It now has almost 190,000 miles on it and is doing great.

Best for High Performance Engines
Very high quality oil that provides the engine protection I need with the added zinc. I use the 20W-50 during the summer months for the added viscosity.

High zinc for the win
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchase the VR-1 motor oil for my mini stroker VW motor. It’s hard to find good high zinc motor oil, but this one checks all the boxes.

Good oil for flat tappet cam engines.
I've used Valvoline products for decades, and use VR1 oil in my classic car. It has the zinc needed for proper wear protection with a flat tappet cam engine.

The only oil I use...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] VR1 is the only oil I use in my street and track cars. When you are pushing over 650whp on a turbocharged engine running on ethanol, you need a good oil to protect the internals from the harshness of the ethanol by products.
