If you mean their 20W-50 speciality racing track oil:

100C....17.3
40C....124.4
VI.....153
TBN..... ZN.....1200
P......1200

Very low detergent/dispersant package. So low it is not even adveretised. Meant to be changed often in race applications.


If you mean 20W-50 VRI:
100C........20.5
40C........181.8
VI.........132
TBN........ 8
NOACK...... SA......... 1
ZN........1400
P.........1300
CA........1910
NA........ 490

Basically a heavy duty, low ash, street oil with a good detergent/dispersant package.

It looks like they took their premium conventional oil, increased the calcium, sodium, zinc and phosphorus.

That's more info than a VOA would get you as well... (as far as Z & P go anyway)

Don't believe the hype on the VR1, stuff is simply an SL oil- period.

VR-1 has more ZDDP then SL/GF-3 allowed.
 
Called tech line yesterday he told me the conventional 20w50 has..

1400 PPM Zinc
1300 PPM Pos
1900 PPM Cal.

forgot to ask how much Moly it has,looks like a good MC oil if the moly isn't too high,

Right, and like I've said here 10938023480932 and 34 times, API SM does not limit phosphorous! GF-4 does.

According to the data sheet, it has no moly, but 490 ppm sodium.
