Late to the discussion and I’m a little surprised that no one commented on the OP getting such good results from using Valvoline Restore and Protect for top-ups, not even a full oil change. That’s incredible. I’m already sold on Valvoline Restore and Protect but WOW! And congrats OP on the...

Kind of like how the original spec for Viagra was to help control hypertension. My friend told me that nobody takes it to lower their blood pressure today

I think your internet provider is upselling you with something you can’t take advantage of. Its like the water company upgrading your house supply from a 2 inch pipe to a 6 inch pipe without changing the pipes in the house. Your laundry won’t be cleaner and your shower won’t be any better...

After Valvoline create the market, others will want a share. And customers are fickle. Reasons to go with the latest new thing- No brand loyalty Lower price (on sale, coupons, rebates etc. ) Offering a grade Valvoline doesn’t (10W-40 perhaps) Marketing weasel-words - “Switch to Mobi-Strol Uno...

I think you mean dimensions, not dementions. Demention is what you diagnose your elderly uncle with when you find him in the grocery store without any pants on.

That’s not oregano. And the new guy wants to know if anyone’s seen his stash …
