All the Napas in my area carry VR1 (conventional) 10w-30. It's kind of pricey though at $4+/quart.

The info was in my first post. The VR1 Racing Synthetic 10w-30 (not conventional)is available at my ADVANCE Auto Parts in NH.

That does appear to be the case. However, if one wanted, felt the need for a light oil(I have never used a 30 grade oil) it has a fantastic anti wear pack.
I wonder about the blue dye. Could it be there to let anyone who felt the need/authority to look inside your engine know that you had/were using a non specified oil

Sorry guys, I meant AutoZone. I lost track when they changed from ADAP. I usually shop at REAL auto parts stores, like Robbins where they stock RotellaT 10w-30 in 4qt jugs (for the spouses' Subaru).

You linked to Valvoline's NON DETERGENT RACING OIL. It has no calcium or sodium.
The other VR-1 racing synthetic oil in fact has a full detergent additive package as it is safe for passenger cars.
