Valvoline Restore & Protect or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum are also great oils to run and clear up and baked on sludge.
Pros: clears baked on sludge
My last [Blackstone-labs.com](http://Blackstone-labs.com) report came back with 1.8% fuel dilution. 2021 1.5T at 23kmiles, 6800 miles on the oil (0w20 Valvoline R&P).
Pros: fuel dilution report
Cons: 1.8% fuel dilution
Mileage: 36800 km
Buy Valvoline oil, and maybe it's a good time to switch to 5w-30 in it.
Pros: switch to 5w-30
I use that Valvoline, sometimes throw in random fully synthetic oils I get in bulk from an auction. I feel like it contributed to a rear main seal leak. Thinking of switching to a 5w40
Cons: contributed to seal leak
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Silverado
Mileage: 400000 km
I only run Valvoline VR-1 40-wt in my air-cooled VWs

I tell you the stuff really works. My 2009 Matrix used to burn oil before I switched to Valvoline Restore and Protect.
Pros: really works
Cons: used to burn oil
Vehicle:
Toyota Matrix
i honestly have no way to prove if it works, but i started using it in my ‘98 corolla about 20k mi ago (known for burning oil due to flawed piston design) and have noticed a significantly lower oil consumption rate, which was almost 2qts every 5k down to less than half
Pros: lower oil consumption rate
Cons: burning oil
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Mileage: 32186 km
I normally dont buy into stuff but my vette was burning oil, Id see a big cloud of blue smoke after I let off after every pull, few thousand miles of this stuff and I stopped seeing it.
Pros: stopped seeing blue smoke
Cons: vette was burning oil
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Corvette
That stuff ROCKS! Cured my stuck piston rings issue on my 201O Acura J37 engine.
Pros: cured stuck piston rings
Vehicle:
