I put a thread up about this awhile ago. Yeah, it will still be fine to use. If not, slightly better. Suppose it will be an equivelant to the Millars 10/60.

The valvoline oil is good for RACE use, the detergant package is not good, as it doesn't need to be for race use, there are far better oils for everyday stop start cars, esp where infrequent/short trip use is seen.
The move to a 60 weight oil from mobil is no bad thing imo, as always found it thinning out too much when pushed to the limit.
