Amazon has Valvoline 20w-50, VR1 on sale (6 qts @ $35.41) and if you buy two cases (enough for an oil change and maybe a quart or two) they will deliver it to your door with FREE shipping. The VR1 oil has ZDDP additive to protect your Montreal's cams and followers from excessive wear, I believe.
My pleasure! Amazon's price beat the local Advanced Auto and Autozone price of almost $9/qt and neither place had any in stock. Now Advanced has it for $6/qt (same as we paid) but we don't have to go pick it up; it comes to us. Also, I was fortunate to have a $25 Amazon gift card that I got to use so I effectively paid $4/qt for the good stuff!
Guys, guys. It's even cheaper now.
Should I hoarder more.
It's a stupid question but shelf life of this is like a million years right? It won't go bad.
It likely has a set shelf life. I would guess 4-5 years. Over time, among other things, the additive package will settle out. Shelf life might be listed on the vr1 sds.
Just looked, sds doesn’t list it, Valvoline website says there is no documented expiry date, if it’s old to just shake it to redispurse the settled components...
