[DeTomaso] Valvoline oils (AMSOIL now)

[Dave McManus]

Paul, sorry but Valvoline VR1 originally was available as conventional oil
but is also available as ValvolineR Racing Synthetic (VR1) Motor Oil 10w-30.

Small engines work best with non-detergent oil. Buy a $5 bottle of Zinc
additive, the bottle should last 2-3 years worth of oil changes.

The advertised Valvoline racing oil is Synthetic. I will go to the store on
Friday and take a look.  I want to use this in all my small engines for the
zinc.
