NOT THEIR VRI

The problem with racing oils is that they are typically not a good choice for a car that sits in storage for any length of time. It's also a poor choice of oil for anyone who's not actually RACING their car. Rodding around a little here and there on the street does NOT constitute a need for racing oil, and it does NOT improve engine performance to use it.

Changing oil every 500 street miles is rediculous. I drive my fun car AT LEAST that far every weekend. Are you saying that after 500 miles, all the goodie is used up? Does that mean I'd have to go through 8 quarts of oil and a $13 oil filter every weekend if I use Valvoline Race oil? If an oil loses it's ability to protect a car's engine after 500 miles of street driving, it isn't worth the bottle it ships in.
