VR1 oil question

Recommended Posts

I have almost 5000miles on my rebuilt l28 and I have been putting valvaline VR1 10-30 in it. Not racing it, mostly freeway commutting to work with the occasional spin to 6500rpm. No issues but I find most shops carry it only in 20-50 and it's hard to find in 10-30. Also I have found it in 10-30 synthetic. I live in California San Fran area so temps re pretty mild. 40-100 degrees is about the range. What are the pros and cons of the 10-30 vs 20-50 vs more expensive synthetic VR1?

Was you're motor rebuilt to stock specs? and what do you eventually plan on using your engine for? ( just DD or a lot of track time)

 

20-50 is a little thicker, its what I run. I'm in Florida, I haven't had any ill effects and I've done 2k mile trips and several track days.

 

You probably wouldn't notice a difference, especially if your engine is already broken in and its a DD.
