I've got problems.. 151 including what I already had stashed.


Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode about the contraceptive sponges...

Our little cars are certainly "VR1 worthy"!

I looked at the local Autozone, but no luck. No VR1 at all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

Definitely OCD......


That's not the half of it. You know when you walk in the front door of those stores they make that swish sound? Well if the sound doesn't sound just right you have to try going through the door again and again until it sounds just right. Same sound of satisfaction when you leave out the exit door.

Then I get home and lay out all that oil on the table and every time I leave the room someone turns one of the bottles around just to see me freak out. Then I hear some crap that I dont have an even number of oil bottles and I should do something about it because it may not be just right.

Then I go out and change my oil and so now I don't have as much and to top it off someone on pelican got 240qts of oil and now I feel like I don't have enough. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I called all the autozones in my area and they said the sale is over and it was a dollar off, not a quart for a dollar. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

The Superior store told me on the phone that it was on the shelf for $ 2.00 a quart but it may ring up for less. I took a chance and drove over and it rang up at a $ 1.00 Don't believe the guy until you check it out.

Bringing back an old thread, but I just came across VR-1 at my local middle-TN store for $1 again today. Had bought a bunch at this location earlier until the sale ended, guess it's back on. Anyone else still finding this?

Oh no... I thought this was done.

Must be how the people felt who raced to California for the Gold Rush, only to find things already picked clean.

And then, someone whispers "Alaska".

You should sell some back to them and make a killing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

VR1 racing oil apparently cannot be delivered to California (surprise, surprise) via Amazon. What are the other options for a high zinc oil 20W-50 in CA, for a reasonable price under $10/quart? Maybe I now need to smuggle oil across the border?

Man, I miss that sale...has it really been almost three years? I noticed this weekend my closet is getting empty and I've only got one oil change left for the street car with enough for one more fill on the race car (8 quarts).

So, yeah, what's gonna be the value-priced replacement?

They still sell at O’Reilys in San Juan Capistrano, just saw some there about 2 weeks ago.

I just checked O'Reilly's website. VR1 Racing Formula is listed as $7.99 qt. No special deals indicated.

I found it interesting that they list a Valvoline VR1 Non-California Conventional Motor Oil 10W-30.
