Valvoline VR1

I needed to get some more engine oil for our 2 cars. Previously we bought a big container from Bicester with ‘classic oils’ 20-50 with high zinc content. Now this has just about run out I thought I’d try Lucas’ Hot Rod 20-50, but could only see that on eBay & Amazon at around £40 for just under 5L.
So I found Opie Oils, who I had used before. They don’t sell Lucas but currently have an offer on Valvoline VR1 20-50 (and other grades) at £30 for a true 5L. Not sure how long the offer lasts though. ZDDP = approx 1200 ppm.
I ordered 4 x 5L jugs and got free postage (I think on orders over £80).
I ordered Sunday evening and the box was delivered to work today. Which I thought was good service.

Chris Goodale is a Lucas stockist, worth giving him a shout next time your looking..

I use Lucas’ Hot Rod 20-50 and not had any issues.

Thanks Stu. I thought I’d recently heard of a good UK stockist for Lucas, but when it came to needing it I couldn’t remember :D
I’ll try to remember for next time :geek:
