If you're going to dump money into racing oil, at least use kart racing oil, like Thor or Red-E. Auto oil isn't designed with splash lubrication in mind.

i think that valvoline race oil would work fine idk..

Stock recommended oil is just fine, unless your turning phenomenally high numbers.

Sure it is.
Briggs spec calls for SJ, SH API rating (among others) which the VR-1 has.

Briggs sells a specially developed race oil JUST for spalsh lubed engines. its bright green.

Regular automotive oil will work fine in Briggs, but like Kenny said, I doubt they really took note of making it "small engine usable too", but it still works fine in just... non-racing engines.

Heard of that stuff, and great comments about it!
