Make sure you're looking at the right product. Valvoline has three "Racing" oils:
Valvoline Racing (VR1 - what we want, dino oil with plenty of ZDDP and detergent)
Valvoline Racing Synthetic (VR1 Synthetic)
Valvoline Specialty Racing - This is the "not street legal" oil that has lower detergent levels.

That said, the Joe Gibbs RACING oil sold by Jake Raby has a use life of 500 miles.

Anyone seen something to the contrary on the Valvoline product?
