They'll ban everything except illegal invaders. They'll give those free health care and drivers licenses.
 
Maybe they can smuggle in some VR-1.

Right along with the cocaine, marijuana, and coyotes bringing in the illegal invaders. I'm sure the one's bringing in the contraband oil will get the harshest sentences. For all the destruction they are inflicting on the environment.

Your bearings will thank u

"Your bearings will thank you"
I haven't ever heard of anybody ever having bearing problems with VR1? tons of drag racers run it with zero issues, and unlike Brad Penn it's not a hard to get boutique oil, VR1 is the better choice IMO

I have torn down multiple engines that lived their lives on VR1. I did not see any problems in the bearings at all.

kinda reminds me of smokey and the bandit...

FWIW, I had someone drive me back a quart of wax and grease remover and solvent-borne basecoat from Portland. A friend buys washer fluid in Tahoe quite often.

You do realize most bud sold in CA is grown in CA - even the stuff on the street(which is grown by clandestine operations up north and by Asians in SF/Oakland/Sacramento). The "medical" stuff is done at legit operations. Maybe in SoCal the low-grade stuff...

He said if someone says it is illegal to ship it to Ca. they are wrong. (amazon/Napa)

This is straight from the mouth of a Valvoline Tech in Tennessee. 1-800-TEAM-VAL 1-800-832-6825

Call Valvoline your self and ask

I just looked at a bottle in the store and it had a SM rating printed right on the bottle

The Tech also stated VR1 Non Street Legal was discontinued. He also stated the VR1 ZPPD- zinc/phosphorus is .14/.13
