Rob7181When is the NAPA Valvoline VR1 sale?
Thought it was always around February. If not NAPA, then who has a sale coming up on it?

EmanAutozone used to run a sale every year, then they discontinued it. They only carried 20/50. O'reilly ran it on sale a while back but I haven't seen them do it in years.

Curly1AutoZone runs a sale most every Jan for $2.00 a quart. (I bought about 175 quarts!)
They had Valvoline VR1
Castrol synthetic 10-40
Valvoline Max life 20-50 and 10-40
and several other brands all for $2 each. They had 4 quarts of the Castrol 0-20? Racing for $1 each on clearance shelf, jumped on them. I stocked up.
Plus I already had several cases of the Brad Penn.

Bad NewsJust used almost all of what I have left from the Autozone sale 3-4 years ago. 2 of the quarts had chunks of yellow stuff in them. Did not see the first on as it was in the funnel, the second qt I poured into the ds tank without the funnel so I saw the chunks. Nothing in the tank after running so I assume it mixed. Thinking it might have been paraffin that separated from sitting.
