VALVOLINE Engine oil

Valvoline VR1 for the track car. Valvoline VR-1 is a very highly reviewed oil with a high zinc content to keep race engines running with very minimal wear.

Pros: minimal wear, high zinc

VALVOLINE Engine oil

For this reason I run Valvoline 20W-50 VR1 which has high zinc and phosphorus to deal with the extra loads the flat-tappets put on the camshaft vs roller tappets.

Pros: high zinc and phosphorus
Vehicle: BMW

AMSOIL Engine oil

Any major brand of the correct rating and viscosity will work.

That being said, I have an 05 that was used as a DD for 12 years. Short trips, 3 days a week. After 12 years and 47K miles, I added a aftermarket supercharger. Put another 20K on it, including trips to the drag strip and track days.

I then had it rebuilt with forged internals because I wanted higher boost and more power. When the engine was pulled apart and measured. There was no wear. The cylinders were still within factory specs as was the crank.

I had used Amsoil SS 0W-20 the whole time.

Pros: no wear, factory specs
Mileage: 47000 km
