While your VW may not be a racecar, Valvoline VR1 20W-50 Racing Motor Oil is recommended for all air-cooled and WBX Vanagon engines. Noticing premature camshaft lobe wear? Trouble with your lifters wearing oddly? Years back all motor oil had a zinc additive to help with cam break-in and lengthen the overall lifespan of your camshaft and lifters. You can supplement any motor oil with ZDDP additives, but those are expensive. Why not just use an oil like you used to?
Valvoline's exclusive high zinc and phosphorus formula is chemically designed to reduce internal friction and protect critical engine parts from wear. With its high load carrying characteristics, minimum foaming under stress and maximum resistance to thermal degradation ensure stability and lubrication.
