Any reason why not to run 10w30 synthetic racing oil in my new rebuilt sb400? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Zero miles. My engine is a NEW rebuild. No clue of what brand rings, can't remember. VR1 is suppose to have a substantial amount of zinc needed for flat tapet applications.

From what I read, the difference between non street legal oil and VR1 street legal is that race only oil has to be changed every 500 miles instead of every 3000. Per the Valvoline Rep.

If anyone has some facts that is what I'm looking for. Just to make sure the oil is safe for my engine.

Thanks!!
