Default Re: Synthetic Oil?

The Valvoline VR-1 is great break-in oil, as it contains a good amount of zinc, which is needed for flat tappet cams. But it does not contain much detergent, so sludge build up could be a concern if you expect to run the engine for 50,000 miles,
There are two versions of this oil, one in black container, low detergent, silver container, normal detergent, both high in zinc.
