I've seen zero results in the two vehicles that I've used Valvoline Restore and Protect in...I guess that's a good thing? Use what ever is easier for you to get.

Usually when the topic of oil for hybrids comes up someone always seems to mention oil temperature but no one ever said what they run at, so I decided to check. This is from my commute to work this morning, car is a 2022 Camry Hybrid LE running Amsoil 0w-16 hybrid oil. The coolant heats up...

That's what I was thinking, but then again with how its mounted on the engine, and it being a generator does it really matter all that much? I was surprised at how hard it was. When I do my annual service on it next month I'll check the one that's installed on there now and see if it's as hard...

My new neighbor gave me all his leftover generic oil and filters from his other house cause he knew I had a generic and his new one is a kholer. This was the only one not in a box, and I have a few of my own already so I cut this one open. Seems like a nice filter. The adbv was pretty hard and...

I’ve had it for 2 years and it’s modified to the point where it’s not really daily drivable anymore, at least not for my commute. I have a 130mi round trip drive to work. I still drive it around I just don’t like taking it to work.

I already have a crown vic. Prob gonna lookin to sell it here shortly.

I'm looking for a car for my son to drive back and fourth to school. I haven't fully decided yet if I'm just going to let him use my Camry and I'll buy me a "beater" or get him something of his own. I'm finding it very difficult to find an older civic/corolla in decent shape with out a million...

Yeah the 2010 & 2011’s got an oil cooler and the larger filter won’t fit.

2010 Ford Crown Victoria PI, 5000mi oci & 158000 on the car. Out: 6qt of Amsoil synthetic blend 5w30 & Wix 51348 In: Same First time ever running a Wix. Looks good to me. I got it thru Amsoil when I got the oil. This was also my second change with the Amsoil synthetic blend. I ran Valvoline...

I gave 5k for mine. Prices are kinda all over the place for these depending on where you are.

I bought a 2010 in November of last year, it had 129k on it and it now has 156k with 2890 ish idle hrs. It’s been flawless. I’ve done all the fluids on it, spark plugs, thermostat and serpentine belt & pulleys. The only issue I had was the thermostat that failed. It’ll cruise at 80mph all day...

Yeah it was. Fit pretty tight into the filter.

This was on my 2012 Camry Hybrid for 9,960mi running Amsoil 0w-16 Hybrid oil. Same thing went back in. Filter looks fine to me. Was pretty clean. Some of the pleats were close together and doesn’t seem to be all that much media in it.

I have a ‘21 Camry Hybrid, 68k miles on it with about 50k miles of it running Mobil 0w-20 hybrid oil doing 5k changes. I just recently switched to Amsoil 0w-16 hybrid oil and 10k mile changes. Probably could have stuck with the Mobil for 10k changes as I believe it’s rated for 15k, but I’m...
