Hey Guys,
I can pick up a few cases of this oil fairly cheap and was wondering
if it would cause any problems with a FF engine.
Here is the blurb Valvoline has about this oil:
Using the Valvoline Specialty Racing Engine Oils, which are labeled
as being "NOT STREET LEGAL", in your passenger car is not authorized. The
results of using it in a passenger vehicle are 2 fold: The products have a
minimal amount of cleaning agents to optimize the effectiveness of the
power enhancing components so, if not changed with a very high degree of
regularity (every 500 miles), it could cause engine related problems
consistent with those caused by not changing conventional passenger car oil
at the OEM recommended interval.=A0 This includes sludge and deposit build
up, thickening, ring sticking, poor cold starts, and overall engine stress.
Additionally, the product contains uniquely high levels of phosphorous that
the catalytic converter is not designed to handle.=A0 Initially this will
lead to reduced efficiency and over time it may damage the device to the
point where State and/or Federal emission standards are not being met.
