kashmir67 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hello, folks has any one installed Valovoline 20/50 VR1 engine with a filter change? If so any benefits or problems? I ask as i'm about to do an oil change. Cheers folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I had used on my Tr7 & was very happy with it. At the time the engine was getting to the point it needed a rebuild and it most certainly helped with the oil pressure when hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Vr1 survived pretty well in my Spitfire 1500 with some hard usage. I've since used Penrite and on the recommendation of @Clivemy next oil change will be Millers CSS 20w60. To be honest, VR1/Penrite/Millers will all be great and a cut above average 20w50 for most usage.

Tim Bancroft Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Classic Oils do a Vr1 equivalent that is cheaper...sadly Classic Oils have tied up with Fuzz Townsend.....oh well. https://www.classic-oils.net/Classic-Oils-Heritage-20W50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hunt Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I have used Classic Oils Heritage 20w50 since its introduction in the 4A. Oil pressure never drops below 70psi at 2,000 rpm however hot the engine gets. Admittedly the oil cooler (with thermostat) may be helping a bit and I change oil and filter every 3k miles.

Regards Bruce I wonder why Tim would dislike somebody who took a place on an RBRR with no intention of trying to complete it? 😉 Or maybe Tim, like me, has a low opinion of Fuzz's TV show? Or maybe he's just not a fan of The Wonder Stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt306 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I liked Fuzz's shows but that Tim bloke I could do without , all the staged 'blagging' or parts its nonsense. I also have a Wonderstuff Album too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Have no problem with the various bands he has been in, Pop Will Eat Itself, General Public, Bentley RRhythm Ace and The Wonderstuff. Fair play to him, but that Car SOS programme is very naff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
