Hey gang,
Running low on my stash of Valoline VR1 Racing Oil and wonder if anyone knows how to get some here in Los Angeles? Do the restrictions apply to the other good brands with the much needed zinc and other goodies? Thank you and if you have any I will buy it from you.

Are you allowed to receive it via mail? I buy a lot of oil from Amazon.

(VR1 is readily available at autoparts stores here in Atlanta)

Heard of it, would never shop there, Amazon is 10%+ cheaper. Autozone is much closer.

I get mine from Advance Auto Parts if I need it in a hurry, or via Amazon if I can wait. No issues here in Virginia.

Hello gang....I am in Los Angeles CALIFORNIA!!! They outlawed it and took it off the shelves at all of those places.

Now is there an idea out there? Maybe Amazon will work?
Thank you,
