Roush Motor Oil

[BBDartCA]

Does anybody have any experience, background or VOA UOA on the Roush Motor Oils. Break in oil, "High Zinc" oil and synthetic (5w-50 too). I heard somewhere the Roush Valvoline deal is over.

I see that more as an overpriced Synpower (granted, I realize it is different, at least a little bit)


Though free shipping is nice..

I bet you it's just relabeled VR1 racing oil.

Completely different oil than VR1.

I remember answering a Valvoline online survey, where they asked questions like:
Which would you prefer?
- "Valvoline oil endorsed by Roush"
- "Valvoline Roush oil"
- "Roush oil by Valvoline"
- "Roush Valvoline oil"

I never saw any benefit tying in with Roush....

Bringing this back to life wondering if anyone has any further info other than the vague stuff I find when doing a search online.

I noticed it`s not in my newest Jegs catalog.

99% sure this Valvoline - Roush comarketing program has been discontinued. JC Whitney stock being shipped now on closeout sales pricing is in old dusty bottles. The 5W50 is back ordered "indefinitely" from Whitney.

Yeah I bought a case of the 5w20 cause I'm pretty much a sucker for sales prices

So if this is NOT VR1, what is it? I really question if Roush had a special formula developed...

If anything it's Synpower because there is no VR-1 5w20 or 5w30. I'm so tempted to get a VOA but it's almost pointless since I won't be able to buy it anymore.

I`d always thought it was rebadged "Not Street Legal" VR1. Was it a completely non-detergent racing oil?

So if one wanted to buy a 5W-50, they could go to Autozone and buy Castrol Syntec, or go online and get the Pennzoil Platinum 5W-50 i also found 15W-50 shipped to their door, since even if you ordered this Roush 5W-50 it would never come?

I thought it was a special formula.

Geez, thought Roush used Amsoil!

The whole line is SL/SM rated...so no.

 

[Unearthed]

Got my case today. Nothing dusty or weird...just nice API SM 5w-20 syn

 

[tenderloin]

Received mine today (5w-20). No dust, fuss or muss.
