I don't know if it has been covered here yet or not but for all you heavier is better folks I am seeing ads now for 60wt "racing" oil.

Not my cup of tea but some may want to try it. It's gotta' make your car faster... no?


I cant believe AutoZone and O'Reilly here only carry 60W VR-1. I asked the counter and they thought I was speaking a different language asking for 10w-30 or 20w-50. I used to buy it from them only a year ago. Force me to go online yet they wonder why stores are empty. Screw'em

I called Shell customer support and talked to one of their technical folks.

He told me that Shell Rotella T1 has 1100 ppm of Zinc. Shell Rotella T4 and above has 1200 ppm of Zinc.

Hope that helps as I could not find a definitive answer online.

My Wal-Mart has 5 quart jugs of VR1 10W-30 and 20W-50 for about $5 per quart which is a really good price.
