<DIV>I have been using 20-50 VR1 in my 80 MGBLE but I see from the website that
you provided that it should not be used in cars with catalytic converters which
my 80 MGB has. In fact, all of the recommended oils with zddp should not
be used in cars with catalytic converters so what should those of us with
RBBs use? we need the zddp but not the added aggravation of concern
about our cats?</DIV>

you haven't looked hard enough. I bought two quarts of 20W50 VR1 yesterday
at my local Autozone. The other local stores carry it too. The first
bullet on the back label calls it "High Performance/Racing Oil". Here's a blurb
from Valvoline's website: <A

been using 20W50 VR1 in my '69 MGB for the last 5 years or so. I use
synthetics in my newer cars.<BR><BR>CR<BR><BR><BR>

<DIV dir=ltr>I don't claim exhaustive knowledge about all racing oils.
Valvoline VR1 is primarily made for racing, and I'd call it a specialty oil.
Not something I've seen on the shelves at local auto parts stores. <BR>

<DIV>As classifications change, old oil formulations become obsolete, the
appropriate oil for flat tappet engines has become pretty much the product
of specialty oil companies like Royal Purple, Driven/Joe Gibbs, Red Line,
Lucas, and Collectors Choice (Moss).<BR></DIV>
