      Back in VA I would run VR1 20-50 in my m20 and m30. Now that I have shop wholesale prices here, I run Total Classic or Racing 20-50. The Total man says they're the same thing, but I feel like they probably have different additive packages.

            Too light in my opinion.

            I run Castrol 20W-50 year-round here in South Florida.
