So I noticed a lot of people using the Valvoline VR1 Racing oil VV211 and I was doing further reading on the website and noticed its Conventional and not Synthetic. I thought we were to use only fully synthetic oils? The only one that is synthetic and $12 a bottle is the VV851.

 

I bought my vr1 full synthetic from napa for roughly 7$ each

 

Matter of fact, I just called and ordered some from napa and it was roughly 5.25$ each

 

I think the stock motor is built tight and gets gets good benefits from synthetic. If the motor is built I recommend going with whatever your builder suggests.

 

I run a partial synthetic oil from brad penn that works great. Made for cars with flat or roller cams and high performance engines. So not a full synthetic but its what was ran from the engine builder so i stuck with it. i think its like 7 bucks a quart? or around there.

 

I have always stuck to Mobile one

 

I've used Mobil one for the last 103k on my engine. I ran a compression test and got very very very nice numbers very even all across. I guess I'll stick to Synthetic

 

I have used conventional valvoline racing oil vv850 for the last 15,000 miles. That's what my engine builder recommended and I have no issues at all changing it at 2,500 miles. Oil is always pretty clean looking when I change it.

 

I just changed to Valvoline Vr1 conventional. That's what AWD Motorsports and Buschur racing recommends for Stock to over 1,000 HP Built Evo. Hard to Believe huh

 

Buschur Runs Brad Penn !

 

Run it for 3 months and then send a test out to be analyzed. Then you'll know how long you can go. Putting it in once isn't going to hurt it.

 

As long as you don't coke up the turbo any oil will do.

 

im about to switch to vr1 conventional since shop recommends it.
been running full synthetic, im on a hill about how conventional is better than synthetic. bleh

 

I usually use whatever is on sale. From autozone brand to hardcore Quaker state! Lol Jp Jp guys. M1 on my previous and I use to use redline on my previous E85 Evo 9.

 

I found this in the Manual stating do not use conventional oil.
