If you do research oil analysts here in this sub, Valvoline comes out the best.
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.
Looks real good. Valvoline R&P is in mine now.
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
I burn a little bit of oil and started to run the Valvoline restore and protect 5w30 in my n18 r56 with 178k miles (286k km). Hard to tell what burns vs leaks out though.
We had a guy trade in a 10th gen Honda Civic with the L15BE (known for head gasket failure mostly) that he filled with thicker oil. Started knocking like crazy when we changed the oil for the sale.
