I don't think the engine is especially dirty because I do know the history of the truck before I bought it. A friend of mine had it for its first 100k miles and he is pretty diligent about maintenance. I think I may just stick with restore and protect for the life of the vehicle going forward...

I am going to switch to Valvoline Restore and Protect on my 2016 Ford F-150 with a 5.0L V8 Coyote engine and 112k miles on it. I'm also going to switch to 5W-30 instead of the recommended 5W-20 on the oil cap. How long should I run the first oil change for before draining it? My oil filter will...

Yep

NOTICE: The Valvoline isn't on Rollback so I'm assuming it could go down to $34.99 when on sale.

Still undecided, the only reason I can see myself spending more money on Valvoline Restore and Protect is because it actively cleans your engine. I'm fairly certain that is something I need so I might do 3-4 oil changes with that and then switch to something in my original post?

I just did a bunch of research and bought 6 CarQuest Premium filters which I am going to start running as soon as next week.

I am no mechanic and I have been researching oils and filters lately to try and make my Ford last as long as possible. I only thought that Ford recommended 5W-20 for a reason, maybe engine tolerances are too tight for 5W-30? It's because of forums like this that I have learned there are other...

Yes, that is what I am trying to go for here with this truck. I would love to get 20+ years out of it and 300,000 miles. Even when its 20 year old I can see myself selling it for $5000, ill just keep it around as a 3rd vehicle for the times I need the bed to move something. If we can make a...

Can somebody please explain to me in an educated and informed manor why its better for me to switch my 2016 5.0L Coyote which recommends 5W-20 from the factory over to 5W-30? I don't mean this to be a smart ass I am genuinely interested and quite possibly will make the switch. From what I have...

I should have stated that Valvoline Restore and Protect is $50 + tax per 5qt jug in my area bringing it to about $57. I rarely ever see this stuff go on sale up here.

Hey guys, I have a 2016 Ford F-150 Super Crew 4x4 with a 5.0L Coyote engine and the truck has 112,000 miles on it. I am pretty religious about changing my oil and I don't put any more than 10,000 - 14,000 miles on the truck a year. For the most part this truck is babied and lives a pretty...

Thanks for all the help guys, I do also enjoy "nerding out" about this stuff because you can find diamonds in the rough like this for half the price. I'm not saying that this is every bit as good as a Royal Purple or Amsoil or even a Mobil 1 but it's half the price! For the same $9 each I could...

Well I have made my decision and on the way back from dropping my daughter off at swimming I stopped my my local CarQuest. I asked if they had the Premium filter part number 84502 and they had 30 in stock. He gave me them at $9 each if I bought 6 or more of them so I got 6. Once I got home I...

I live is Ontario, Canada and we dont have O'reillys auto parts here in Canada. Microgard filters are not something we see up here unless they make them for another auto parts store and re-name them? Sorry but what is C&P posts? Thanks guys!

I just looked at both the Mobil 1 M1-212 for my F-150 and the M1C-251 for my wifes Toyota Highlander and both Mobil 1 filters say "made in south Korea", I don't see anywhere where is says Highline Warren or Mann + Hummel? As far as stores near me I have a Canadian Tire, Walmart, Napa, Carquest...
