QUOTE(infraredcalvin @ Dec 28 2019, 12:04 AM)  QUOTE(drem914 @ Dec 27 2019, 07:47 PM) 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? They still sell at O’Reilys in San Juan Capistrano, just saw some there about 2 weeks ago. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I buy VR1 20W50 locally at A&A Auto Parts. A&A is the family of Top Fuel drag racer Joe Amato. Regular price $6.49.

I gave it three different locations, two commercial and one residential and all three were denied. |

I was in Bullhead City, Az this past week. Went to O’Reilys to check. Manager said he was told VR-1 was poisonous to Californians, there by making it non-Ca compliant... I promised I wouldn’t bring it back to Ca... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)
Clay, nothing political here...  |

Yes, picked up 2 - 5 Gal. containers a couple days ago. I may go back in couple days and see if they still have any more left now that the new year has come and California has dropped all of its wonderful 2020 laws.
