[Mgs] Oil Question

[Barrie Robinson]

Chad,

I too have been pouring through all the data on oils.  I went to my 
local, low key. top notch car. old style car shop.  It is a 
backstreet place with all sorts of goodies and very good prices.   I 
asked them if they had Valvoline VR1 because no other "oil" shops had 
it.   Yes, they said and led me to a stack of it.   "All the race 
guys use this", he said.  To which I replied "sold".    While doing 
up my bill he mentioned that the chap next door, an incredibly well 
known breather on heads, uses nothing else.  It was more than enough 
to convince me.

I had tried the Castrol web site - but when I asked the simple 
question of which oil they recommended or which oil had the most ZDDP 
- all I got was gobbledegook from their "technical" dept.
