Default VR1 Synthetic anyone?

Anyone using this stuff? Didn't see much mentioned about it in a search. I know the dino VR1 gets rave reviews. I'm guessing the synthetic is even better? $7.50/quart, not horrible pricing.

I know I know, any 20w50 will work 😅

for the same $$ or less you could buy Mobil 15W-50. Super easy to find everywhere (my experience). Pretty sure some here run it. I did in a bike years back.

I ran Mobil 1 15W50 from odo 1000mi to 4000mi. Changed oil and filter with VR1 20W50 Dino, now at 5000. Think I will stick with it, uses no oil that I can see on the dipstick, neither did the Mobil 1. No different engine sounds, lots of 2 up in hot weather down here, oil is still almost clear.

Will put 3 or 4 thousand on it and run it again.
