Started with a well broken in, flat tappet cam engine around 10,000 miles and used it till over 120,000 mi. There was a time when 75,000 miles meant that a car was about three-quarters of the way to the junkyard, but 200,000 is the new 100,000 miles for cars.

Oils meeting ILSAC GF-4 requirements (usually 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 SM oils) cannot have the following restrictions on phosphorus and sulfur: Never had to add in between filter changes and the engine was the only thing that was never touched in that vehicle. Still going strong with other owners AFAIK. Engine never apart so I couldn't really inspect parts. As the Valvoline VR-1 is synthetic, no crude oil was used in its making. Like most synthetic oils, the oil gives much better mechanical performance than traditional motor oils made from crude oil.Here are the product information sheets with test results for all of VR1, Not Street Legal conventional, and Not Street Legal Synthetic. Meanwhile, for race cars, Valvoline VR1 should be changed after every 500 miles. Racecar engines have high RPM, and oil consumption is higher as compared to regular car engines. Therefore, it is best to change the oil once it has reached, or is about to reach the 500-mile threshold. Unsurprisingly, such automotive beasts are powered by super-strong engines that are unlike their passenger car counterparts. Racing car motors produce extreme heat and pressure, as well as use more fuel due to the differences in power. Like any other product, there are other competing oils for your racing car in the market. Its major contender is none other than an oil from its own range of racing lubricants, the Valvoline 10W-30 VR1 racing motor oil. In case you acted on the impulse and got carried away by the race engine oil hype, perhaps your mistake can be redeemed. It depends on how long you’ve had the oil left in there vs the current performance stats of your car’s engine.

While buying any type of synthetic or non-synthetic engine oil, make sure that the API rating of the engine oil matches that of your car’s converters vs synthetic engine oil. For now, you should bear in mind that if you are planning to use Valvoline VR1 racing oil, make sure The latest API SM standard for car oils calls for a zinc and phosphorus content less than 0.08% to reduce sulfur, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbon emissions (this contradicts what the Valvoline guy said about SM having nothing to do with zinc/phos).As a result of this mandate, some motor oils now have as little as 0.05% zinc and phosphorus and many of the motor oils we tested did not have the levels as found in, for example, Mobil 1. However, it is worth noting that these new API guidelines do not apply to “racing,” “severe duty,” or any motor oils that do not carry an API “starburst” seal or clearly state for off-road-use only. Motor oils meeting “Energy Conserving I or II” standards should be avoided." Valvoline's High Mileage 150k+ is our first motor oil specially formulated for engines over 150,000 miles.
