## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a full synthetic ?  I notice they sell a black container also.**
A: The silver container is conventional oil and has about 1400 ppm ZDDP. The black container is full synthetic and has about 1200 ppm ZDDP. Both of these oils have exceptional shear/anti wear properties, but the high phosphorus content will foul catalytic converters over time.

**Q: Might be a dumb question but is this oil synthetic? I don't see anything on it that says it is.**
A: This oil is organic.  The Valvoline 20W50 synthetic oil has a black label, and it clearly states "synthetic" on the label.  I use the synthetic in my 1952 MG TD because the oil has high zinc content that is a must for older engines.

**Q: Is the $32.36 price for a case of 6 quarts?**
A: $32.69 plus shipping is the cost for 6 quarts of #211 20w50 racing oil

**Q: The date codes on the bottles are July 2013.  Do you have any oil for sale that is newer?  Say late 2014?**
A: I wont buy a out dated oil... unopened oil has a 2 year shelf life!
