Engine oil VALVOLINE or MOTUL

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 made myself the services, and used Motul 7100 10w50, I can feel the gearbox it's smoother.

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)

Here is what IAG recommends

FA2ODIT (91 or 930ct) - Motul 5w30 8100 X-clean EFE, change oil every 2500-3000 miles

Motul 5w-40 8100 X-clean Gen2 may be used in climates where the average ambient temperature is above 80° fahrenheit. It is important to note that the oil used must carry the GM dexos 2 rating.

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).

Motul. Always. Held up over 500hp for 2 years zero issues on unopened stock block plus its what almost all tuners recommend.

Motul 8100X-Clean for me, no problems!
