Re: [FWDLK] Valvoline VR-1 response

I took the Valvoline guys comment to be that "spring through fall" included summer and that thick oil was ok for those temperatures but not recommended for winter.

Yes, I agree that is seeming odd to specify Spring through Fall; additionally, to omit Summer and “warm weather” driving where a 50wt. is most necessary.
Perhaps the assumed we would know a 20-50wt. is good for Summer/high heat driving.

Interesting that Valvoline confirmed Spring-thru-Fall usage.

This past winter, when the temperature was down into the 30's (F)/0's(C)
the car was hard to start, with the 20/50 oil in it.

Roger, both the VR1 Conventional and Synthetic 20W-50 Racing Oils are perfectly acceptable for classic car with flat tappet cams to use from spring through fall months.
