Engine oil VALVOLINE or ELF

Full synthetic all the way, worth the extra cost. I’m trying out the new vavoline oil rn

Just to share my experience on this oil, I am into my 2nd run on restore and protect (change oil at every 5000 miles interval), running 5w20, a 2010 pickup with 204800 miles. At about 3000 miles, the color of the lifters, spring and the walls became light chocolate brown, very noticeable, then I have noticed this oil is actually doing something.

No issues at 150k on my 6. I do not worry but do run pea type injector cleaner every 3-5k and use quality oil that helps prevent off gas issues like Mobil 1 and Valvoline

I use Valvoline Restore & Protect, which claims to clean your engine and reduce friction/wear more than any other oil

I use Valvoline Extended Protection Full Synthetic 5W-30.

Very good on engines and your turbo especially (i have a 2014 st3)

I have a 2011 Escape Hybrid 2.5L with about 175,000 kms. I run Valvoline Advanced 0W-20 full synthetic as recommended by my mechanic. I've found it much better on fuel economy in colder weather than the 5W-20 for multi-seasonal use, especially in colder weather regions (I live in BC, Canada).

Valvoline Restore & Protect. Its no joke.

I use Valvoline Synpower

I’ve gone down an oil research rabbit hole many a time. There’s been some extensive studies done and besides liqui moly, studies have shown that Valvoline extended protection has some of the best wear-prevention additives and performed among the best in lab samples pulled from used oil.

I've been putting 10w-40 ELF 70 STI regular oil in my 1.6 petrol from '98 for 3 years now with no issues.
