VR1 Racing Oil sale

Advance Auto is selling Valvoline's VR1 Racing Oil for $2.00 off their regular price of $5.99 per qt. I'm not sure they're advertising this (and store pricing may vary) because I was checking prices for it online and it showed the price as $5.99 until I clicked on it for store availability and the price changed to $3.99 and it stated that no other discounts could be applied. Just passing the word for those of us that use the VR1.

You can order the 10W40? Napa is the only ones who stock the 10W30. In which Me, Danny, Stephen do the mix of 3 10W30s and 2 20W50s to make a 10W40 mix.

Their website only lists 20W50 and 50W for VR1


I'll stop on the way home but I'm not hopeful

This may have been true at one point, but house brands change suppliers pretty often. I've gotten pretty interested in the whole "ZDDP oil for older cars debate" and things change almost as often as the sun rises.
