VALVOLINE Engine oil

Im currently using it in my car (2017 Ford Fusion 2.0 Ecoboost), and just made a long road trip around 2k miles in the summer heat, some around 100 degrees. The oil looks fine, not really dirty in my case.

Pros: oil looks fine
Cons: not really dirty
Vehicle: Ford Fusion
Mileage: 3218 km

VALVOLINE Engine oil

My prius went from burning a quart every 1000 miles to almost no consumption after 2 changes with r and p. The oil was so disgustingly dirty the first change which i did at 3k instead of 5k. It definitely cleans your engine out.

Pros: cleans your engine out
Cons: oil disgustingly dirty

VALVOLINE Engine oil

Y'all might call me a heretic for running Valvoline restore and protect 5w30 in my 4.0T.

Any oil that meets API SP and is the right viscosity grade more than likely is at least as good as the oils specified by the OEMs.

Pros: at least as good
Vehicle: Audi

I don't know what it's doing inside my engine but I just did my 2nd oil change with R&P and noticed my dipstick looks new now. No signs of any varnish, just shiny clean metal.

Pros: dipstick looks new, clean
Vehicle: Nissan

VALVOLINE Engine oil

I have run the 5w-40 and stuff every day here in utah and it works fine on 300-400 bhp setups. If you are going to the strip or the dyno and going for probably 450-500 crank I would probably grab that gold top mobil one 15w-50. I would also use that for any road racing where the engine oil gets really thinned out from heat. It's also cheap at wal mart I believe. Over at 575-600 bhp we lost a main bearing when doing endurance testing on valve springs with the 5w-40 and very reasonable oil temps. It didn't really catastrophically fail, but was on it's way to it when we tore it down. Have since switched to VR1 20w-50, and the problem so far appears to be cured. That stuff will carry way more load then the thinner oils- the catch is that it's absolute sludge until warmed up. Yet another one of the barriers to extreme power "street" cars I suppose. I'm keeping an eye on it to see if we have a solution. If that doesn't fix it, the problem may be aeration of the oil- we were running at 7500+ for pretty long periods. So basically now the oiling system is a major focus of R&D for us. The oil pressure was never out of the ordinary- although it does start falling once past about 7500 rpms which is also not great.

Pros: works fine for 300-400 bhp
Cons: lost main bearing, sludge until warmed
