One reason is that there are oil companies that strive on numbers alone and try to make it a numbers game. Well the problem we have with this is that the other oil companies could try and get the same numbers as we have even if their product does not have the same quality and performance gains as ours. This could make a customer think they are buying a great product based on the numbers. If all the numbers on the sheets are the same how would you decide on which oil to choose? Price? All I can tell you is our motor oil exceeds the levels for the API service SL and our MaxCycle and XPR are even beefier than that. Thank you for understanding.

Think of using a sloppy quality synthetic engine oil during extreme winter conditions. The oil gets solid and it prevents the engine from turning over smoothly. That’s what happens when Valvoline VR1 is used for regular non-racing cars. It would be better to admit that this oil was made for racing cars, and other street-legal racing vehicles, such as Mustang, Camaro 406 and vice versa. happen.
