Hemp make sure you order the seperate reservoir if you haven't already. It will help to keep the fluid to the clutch clean. If the fluid gets just a little dirty the clutch pedal will try to stick to the floor once it gets hot.

Good luck. All the O'reilleys around here stopped selling it. I have to resort to Amazon.

The ones in my town don't have the 10w30 either. They all have the 20w50, straight 50. Its says on ORilleys website this store has it so hopefully thats correct. If it doesn't ill probably get amsoil for now.

Ya, my stores have plenty of 50w also. I run the straight 30w SAE conventional VR1. Its getting hard to find, even online.

So whats the difference between Valvoline VR1 Racing Oil (silver bottle) and Valvoline Racing Synthetic (VR1) Motor Oil (black Bottle)?
Is it just the synthetic part that's different?

NO BEEF what so ever he commented on a few things that make sense and agreed to some of the answers and Lethal understood why I made the comment and why I said I stand by it 100%.
Not every best selling product will get good feedback. I commented, they listened and explained and respect them for it. The "fluffy" might have been harsh
