I've been doing a little research for a daily driver toyota....
thinking about changing oil brands and seeing what is out there for a flat tappet cam that is cheaper than Royal purple, and more available than brad penn anyways... lots and lots of guys post about using VR1 lately I found some valvolene materials that may be a typo someone independently tested the 2 valvolene racing oils, and the street legal version (found at the flaps) the tests show 800ppm zddp on the street legal oil and 1300ppm on the two not street legal oils. yet the valolene litterature claims 1300ppm on all of their grey bottled oils. I would like to tell everyone to check the API starburst on the bottle if your flaps, VR-1 is SM rated or street legal I am of the belief that you are NOT getting the zddp you need for our engines... |
