It was pretty interesting some of the comments against brandx yet saying vr1 was good stuff. The VOA levels of zinc might seem low, but from my understanding is there is about a 10% factor when you are looking at this stuff. On that link posted above by BEKevo, the motor oil test link that is, they tested it being equal in zinc to the older vr1 grey bottle conventional, and its a popular oil on here. Also I beleive that this oil is on MAP and FP approved oil iirc.

I didn't know what other oil to throw in at first, then I noticed Autozone had a full synthetic oil on their shelf so I was really curious to fork the money out to see what a voa would show. Anyhow, some folks did vote for it so I guess it cant be all that bad huh. lol.

Didnt see this last night.. Interesting !! It still kills me to see every VOA of VR1 comes up low on Zinc and Phos, way lower than their proposed .13/.14 ratio. I wonder what gives, its been like this for years. The calcium and magnesium comments were interesting because, any "street" oil will have those ingredients, to serve the longer OCI's and act like detergents/dispersants.

Thanks agin Tommi
