The MoFoCo has raised the price of Syn3 (semi-synthetic) to the point that I can find full synthetic oils that cost less. I'm going to try Amsoil at my next oil change.

Those of you running the Valvoline VR1... you are not using the "racing" variety... correct?

Pretty sure VR1 IS racing oil
What I always read, but I could be wrong
You can get it in dino or syn and I use it

Roger.
I use both-different bikes and depending on which was on sale
And now I think they put syn in the grey bottles some types.
But black is always syn

Mobil 1 V-Twin 20/50. I used it for about 20 years now with good results. It works so I stick with it.
