[TR] oil

[wbeech]

Same here, have used in all my TR3s for about 10 years now, no build up, no problems.  I use the organic version, not the synthetic.

I've used VR1 for years, too.  Nothing but compliments about the stuff, although to be honest, I can't say myTR really demands much from an oil!

In spite of the name, VR1 is actually a street oil, with the required detergents and so on for long service. The 20W50 version actually meets API SL (IIRC).

I've used it for a long time, and never seen the kind of sludge and dirt with it that I have seen with other oils. IMO, it's good stuff

Valvoline also offers "Proline" racing oil, which is not designed for use on the street. It used to be called "Not Street Legal" but they changed the name to avoid confusion.
