That is the one Rick. We use 20W50 also and so far so good.Do you use the GM EOS with it??

No EOS Joe,just straight Valvo... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: Best oil to use...
 

I've used Valvoline Racing oil (now VR1) in my good cars since 1967. Never had a problem that I could blame on oil so I guess ignorance is bliss. Plus,.......... I'm too damned old to change ANY behaviors now! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Humm. I wonder if the EOS is worth it. We add it every change more as a habit I think.Gets costly

Re: Best oil to use...
 

I use the same thing too - 20W-50 VR1 Racing Oil. I also use Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer since my engine was built 25 years ago and the clearances are a little sloppy.

Re: Best oil to use...
 

Stockpile your EOS. It is going bye-bye.

I am going to see if anyone has done any studies for John Deere 'Plus 50'. This oil is designed to add 50 hours to your tractors oil change (going from 150 hours to 200). Since it is for "off road Diesels" I am sure that it has not been hit upside the head like Rotella, Delo, etc.

I have always used a 20-50 racing oil (currently Valvoline).
