Engine oil VALVOLINE or RAVENOL

VALVOLINE Engine oil

So I went from valvoline max life full synthetic 10w-30 in my k1500 92 gmc sierra sle with the 350 and tow package, flat tapped cam truck, to valvoline restore and protect 5w-30. I was having oil pressure issues, only 188,xxx miles. After switching to R&P, 1500 miles into the oil change, I consistently have above 30psi oil pressure.

Pros: improved oil pressure
Mileage: 188000 km

Ang nagamit ko palang na brands ay toyota, shell, at valvoline. Walang problema sa 3 na yan. Pero last kong gamit ay valvoline eto yung sakto sa specs sa manual. Mas mararamdaman mo na smooth yung sa makina.

Pros: smooth yung sa makina
Mileage: 2000 km

My 03 forester was burning a quart every 1,000 miles when I got it. Switched to restore and protect and it just stopped burning oil. Not even a gradual decrease in the amount it was burning, just completely stopped burning oil all together.

Pros: stopped burning oil
Mileage: 1000 km

Once my wife's Subaru is out of warranty we will switch it to R&P. I have my Fusion Hybrid running it now. Can't say if I notice a difference cause I replaced spark plugs same time so I'd course it's smoother starting/stopping.

Pros: smoother starting/stopping
Vehicle: Ford Fusion

I just switched the my oil to Valvoline Restore and Protect. It reduces the burning tremendously to normal burn rate after 1000 miles monitored. Good stuff.

Pros: reduces burning tremendously
Mileage: 1000 km

I highly recommend Valvoline high mileage full synthetic 5W-30 oil, with Mobil 1 oil filter, my Si K20z3 seems to run so much smoother for longer with this type of oil.

Pros: runs much smoother, longer

I have run the 5w-40 and stuff every day here in utah and it works fine on 300-400 bhp setups. If you are going to the strip or the dyno and going for probably 450-500 crank I would probably grab that gold top mobil one 15w-50. I would also use that for any road racing where the engine oil gets really thinned out from heat. It's also cheap at wal mart I believe. Over at 575-600 bhp we lost a main bearing when doing endurance testing on valve springs with the 5w-40 and very reasonable oil temps. It didn't really catastrophically fail, but was on it's way to it when we tore it down. Have since switched to VR1 20w-50, and the problem so far appears to be cured. That stuff will carry way more load then the thinner oils- the catch is that it's absolute sludge until warmed up. Yet another one of the barriers to extreme power "street" cars I suppose. I'm keeping an eye on it to see if we have a solution. If that doesn't fix it, the problem may be aeration of the oil- we were running at 7500+ for pretty long periods. So basically now the oiling system is a major focus of R&D for us. The oil pressure was never out of the ordinary- although it does start falling once past about 7500 rpms which is also not great.

Pros: works fine for 300-400 bhp
Cons: lost main bearing, sludge until warmed
