Valvoline

Somebody was talking about Shafer Oil on here.

When I was growing up, my Old man had a account at a machine shop that carried some auto parts and all.
When I used to Build motors back in the 60's and 70's. This is the only Oil I ran in my cars and truck.
And when I used to drag race at Lasiter Mountain Dragway back home this is the oil I ran.

Walley World carries some Valvoline Vtwin oil that I have used in my Harley too.
Its some good oil. you can see how long the company has been around.

I'm not and expert but here is my experience with Valvoline. I mostly used Castrol GTX in my cars and Japanese bikes years ago. No complaints. Then once I used Valvoline in my Japanese bike. The clutch became very grabby hot or cold. After about 400 miles I couldn't stand it anymore and changed it back to GTX. Grabby clutch became normal again. No more Valvoline for me.

You have to use the oil labels on the oil that is what it's rated for.
I've had Valvoline on a 2007 Street Bob.
2007 Wide Glide
2008 Electra Glide.
2011 flhtk.
2009 nightster.
All 3 holes and didn't have no clutch problems with it.

Valvoline has been around since the 1800's.

When I was younger & used to street race and on a drag track.
I sold a 1967 SS Camaro with a 350.
All I ran was valvoline racing Oil.
Sold the car to a buddy with 125,000 on it
He worked at a service station .
Both him & the owner of the station who built motors down said. This was the cleanest engine he has ever seen. Their wasn't even enough wear to bore it. TheY honeed the cylinders.
Had the valves ground & cleaned up.
The heads was the cleanest he ever seen.
New valve seals and all.
New rings & mail bearings.

He asked me about how i maintained the car.
Every 2500 miles I changed the oul, oil filter & air filter.
Put Valvoline racing high detergent oul in it.
New Plugs & points & Condenser.
And greases everthing.
