I'm a VR-1 break-in guy as well if I'm going to run the race weekend.B If
it's a new cam that needs to be broken in I use Rotella-T then switch it out
to VR-1.
After the first weekend I switch to Redline.

Subject: Re: [Fot] Break-in Oil
Valvoline VR-1 "Racing Oil", non-synthetic is available at many local
stores and has plenty of ZDDP (0.12 percent or whatever measure they
use for ZDDP). B I dump a little GM EOS in too for extra measure but
it should be fine without. B The other recommendations are good to but
probably not locally available.
I run one weekend with the VR-1 and then switch to the synthetic
version of the same. B Half the price or less of Redline or Joe Gibbs
or Royal Purple.
