Using high mileage oil (additives to make gaskets swell just a tad bit), used to burn almost a quart between 5k miles but now it's maybe half a quart.
Pros: reduced oil burning
Mileage: 160000 km

Looks real good. Valvoline R&P is in mine now.
Pros: looks real good
Valvoline Restore & Protect oil, stat!
I do like Valvoline R&P and it is in fact cleaning up two older, normally aspirated cars I have with oiling and ring issues, installed in one Lexus and one older Acura (Isuzu).
Pros: cleaning up older cars
Cons: HTHS is very mediocre
Vehicle:
Lexus
Oil burning around 150k, although switching to Valvoline Restore & Protect I've basically eliminated it. Seems to be related to carbon buildup in the low tension rings.
Pros: eliminated oil burning
Cons: carbon buildup
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Mileage: 150000 km
Just another clean option to compete with Valvoline.
Pros: clean option
Reduced oil consumption in my 2015 Volvo V60 with 143,000 miles

Vehicle:
Volvo V60
Mileage: 143000 km
It has helped the valve tick in my 150k mile Yaris
Pros: helped valve tick
Vehicle:
Toyota Yaris
Mileage: 150000 km
I've been using Valvoline Dot 3/4 and it has been okay but not great. I definitely could feel a loss of brake pressure at my last autocross event.
Pros: okay performance
Cons: not great, loss of brake pressure
Vehicle:
Mazda
They checked the oil and sure enough they put double the oil in her engine.
Cons: double the oil
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
