Engine oil VALVOLINE or Motorex

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).

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.

Just another clean option to compete with Valvoline.

Reduced oil consumption in my 2015 Volvo V60 with 143,000 miles

It has helped the valve tick in my 150k mile Yaris

I started using this on my high mileage Rav4 has definitely made the valve train noise quieter on the 2AR-Fe, I could swear the chain rattle that plagues these seems to have quieted down.

I’ve run it for about 300 miles now in my 08’ Hummer with the 6.2L. So far cold start noises have drastically gone down, oil pressure hasn’t changed much. Truck seems happy so far. I’m monitoring dip stick varnish to see how well this cleans over time, for now I’m using my ears as my evidence and it sounds so much better.

It takes a “synthetic blend” of motorex 15W50 oil. And uhh yeah works good I guess, don’t have to change it too often, and as far as performance goes, it doesn’t really matter because I’m on restricted power anyways so yeah ????‍♂️

Valvoline is pure trash. Hardly any additives between any other lines of oil compared to competing brands.
