Vr1 20 50 on sale, cheap!

I'll just go ahead rename my boat Full Pull !!! or maybe the Midnight Express....

I also repeated my last week's order. Amazing

Thanks for the update. I missed it last week. Bought a couple cases for 12.65. Sweet.

I think I just got the last one in stock, but they are still taking orders at that price.

? That does not make any sense at all.....

just ordered 4 cases. thanks a lot for the link!

Good thing it's out of stock. I hear it wrecks engines.

You have been saved.

Pete, Received 12 quarts this morning and earlier this morning ordered twelve more. Total of 24 quarts. Will hold me a while. (takes me about 70 qts. to change oil in everything---- although not all VR-1 )

Tough question Pete.   All depends upon the vehicle.   Several still have flat tappet cams and therefore I prefer high zinc content oils   I lean more towards full synthetics in the motor home and my everyday current model drivers. I change oil at 3500 to 4000 mile intervals and always use a new filter   Some say "overkill" but that is what I like to do. Clean oil is the ticket to engine like. Dirt ( and acids) wears parts out quicker than anything. I keep the airplane oil so clean that it is sometimes hard to see on the dip stick.
Appreciate your comment on knowledge. ALSO bear in mind that our engines in the drag car only lasted about 5 seconds before catastrophic failure. We used 50 gallons of oil during a 3 day weekend and that was 80 or 90 weight synthetic racing oil Destroying 10 engines in that timeframe. Nitro Methane at 95% harms a lot of parts!!!

Anyway thanks for the heads up on this oil deal. Duane
Always fun chatting with you

Received my order today. 24qt will hold me for a couple years. Boat takes 8qt, MG takes 4qt. So, two oil annual oil changes each.

Each oil change? Where are you putting 8 quarts in a 351?

Lol

out of a dozen similar engines all the valvoline or quaker state engines had sludge or scored bearings more than others. all of similar rpm range, maintenance and hour level. Seeing what I have seen about as good as a fram filter.

Pete, Pete, Pete

Your memory ain't what it used to be. Check the links below

There have been at least a few people on here who have had a big oil pan on their 351w, all from the early 70's in the days when PCM was a division of Waukesha.

But.............just like the elusive Bigfoot nobody seems to have gotten a picture of one and posted it on CCF.

Users bobcycleb, jeffware, and rmccauley all seem to have vanished, I think they were attacked and swallowed up by their giant oil pans while they were trying to get a picture..

Maybe Zwoobah can successfully get a picture of his and post it here. His engine is from about the same time period probably.. Be careful Zwoob.

I think his boat is shrink wrapped till spring though and I don't think it's a Waukesha/ PCM marinization either.

Just like Bigfoot, they're out there , never successfully captured and photographed

I seem to think I learned it from something you said about doing Google searches many years ago mixed in with a lot of practice
