				i like using dino oil in my '83 911
			 
			
			is valvoline vr1 racing oil 20-50 a good or bad oil, i used to run kendall gt-1 racing oil, with great success be they apparently went the semi synthetic way, any direction would be appriciated.

			Valvonine is good stuff. It is in my 3.0. The GT-1 was another favorite of mine, too. Since I change oil at or before 3k miles,   Synthetic is not cost effective therefore Dino oil is just fine for me.
