Hello
How much is a US quart?
Is it a quarter of a US gallon which is 7/8ths of an imperial gallon which =
is equal to 4.54609 litres?
Wouldn=E2=80=99t it make sense if everyone was the same and that the US did=
n=E2=80=99t have its own weights and measures.

The best price I could find for Valvoline VR-1 20w50 on Wallmart's site was=
$7.03/quart & it was shipping from "Zoro", who ever that is. The next best=
price was $9.11/quart shipping from Speedway.

Walmart had no problem shipping me a crap-ton of Valvoline VR-1 20W-50; sti=

an explanation there, either. I haven't seen it on any parts house shelves=

be happy.

Hi,
Thanks all. As is usual there is a lot of good discourse and experience sh=

0W50 as it seemed that it no longer cleared some California rule changes. =
I wondered it this happened to Red Line.
So, I sent off an inquiry to Red Line and not getting a rapid response sent=
one to our Healey group. The Healey group was much faster to respond. Wh=
ile most business are slowed down by COVID-19, a Red Line response did come=

od ZDDP levels, plenty for an Austin Healey's flat tappet cam and lifters; =
1225ppm zinc and more importantly 1375ppm phosphorus.
As to their break in additive, their Web site indicates that a half bottle =
is enough to add to a conventional oil. It also has bit of sulfur, 16.6 gr=
ams. I have to wonder if adding it to their 10W40 could result in too much=
=2E I am just not inclined to experiment.
The 3000=E2=80=99s owner=E2=80=99s manual only mentions 30 weight oil, even=
for tropical heat. However, the =E2=80=9CWork shop Manual=E2=80=9D (the G=
reen Book) has a much more expansive table that promotes a lot of weights d=
epending on the manufacturer. The aspect that modern oils are a bit differ=
ent than those available when the book came out adds a bit more uncertainty=
=2E
I am confident using the 10W40. I used 10W50 in my Triumph, but it was an =
air-cooled engine and was REAL hard to start in freezing weather. There we=
re also a lot of reputable recommendations that led me to Red Line=E2=80=99=
s 10W40. The oil pressure is proper, so I don=E2=80=99t see an upside for =
me to use a heavier oil.
Many thanks to the folks who responded.
Bill
