I did see a review on Amazon that their Restore and Protect leaked in shipment. Probably bound to happen time to time with Amazon packaging.

Very cool. I used to have a couple places I order detailing products from that it came that well packaged. You don't see that much anymore.

I would compare the press release between the release of this product and "Modern Engine." Modern Engine is much more on the side of clever marketing. I'm sure it was a good product in its own right, but the claims in it were much weaker with less backing it up. They go pretty specific on what...

I remember!! I thought auto parts stores had 5.1 and Walmart had 5.0, but I could be wrong. I thought it was so the parts stores wouldn't have to price match, but I never gave it much thought beyond that.

I do understand what you're saying. I think if you have heard your particular engine could have a piston cleanliness/ring issue, it could be a compelling. Furthermore, if you have oil consumption just starting, it's a compelling product. Sure, if you have a pretty much bullet proof engine...

While the drop down for 2025 seems missing now, the other day some 2025 Volvo manuals appeared on the USA support site. I noticed a new oil spec: VCC C6SP Depending on the model, the wording would state to the effect that VCC C6SP 0w20 is recommended (particularly the same Castrol...

My 08 Saab has this GM monitor. I don't really use it, I do reset it when I change the oil. If I remember correctly, it goes off between 9000-9500 miles pretty consistently, closer to 9500.

As primarily a Euro car driver, these types of mileage posts always leave my chin hitting the floor. I think it's fantastic and very jealous when I see what other cars can do. The Altima my family purchased as a kid in 90s that I just recently disposed of (thirty years later), had 150k on it...

5000 or a year, whichever comes first.

My Walmart is the opposite. We have Platinum, but no Ultra. Same with the next two closest Walmarts. Unfortunate.

Closer to how I imagined it. lol

Every time I purchased a used car I've been told the "older couple" or the "little old lady." I think you have a beautiful, fresh Lexus engine. I'd use PUP or Mobil 1 and drive the car with a lot of pride. I think it has been serviced fine. The last oil change interval was only 6,700. If you...

I liked the Valvoline engineers and the video as a whole a bunch. However, did anyone else have it in their head that a place like Valvoline would be much fancier? haha. I wasn't totally surprised, but I certainly imagined it a bit differently. I also realize this was just a lab, but I guess...

I don't hate on Costco gas, it's probably one of the better ones now. However, I'm still one of those burning the extra cents out the tailpipe for Shell (at least usually). Another thing I get from Walmart is car batteries. I order them for front door delivery, a few hours after placing...

I've had a lot of bad experiences at my local Walmarts, so I don't go in them anymore. At one time I was also concerned with how the employees were treated. I have a couple friends who work at Walmarts now, and they like the company. While I am still not going inside, I use the curb side...

I believe it probably works and I'm hoping it helps consumption in my '14 Volvo S60 T5 (5 cylinder). Nevertheless, I did notice the test they do to build up deposits and remove them, they stated it's at higher temperature than you would normally see in an engine. That helps build up deposits...

If it does work, I hope it sells well enough to keep it around. I can't imagine having it help a bunch of cars with consumption, and then it being taken off the market! It would be too cruel! haha

Walmart drive up pick-up. I have a 2014 Volvo S60 T5 (still the 2.5 5 cylinder). Just over 100k miles. It started to consume a bit around 60-70k. This was during the period the last 5 cylinders and first 4 cylinders had ring drain back holes, which were much too small. It ruined otherwise...

I feel like you might burn yourself out doing the 3000 mile oil changes.

Maybe if a particular engine has some kind of weakness or design problem, there could be a benefit to a particular oil. Or, perhaps, if someone greatly neglects changing their oil, there is something out that that would survive that neglect better than Kirkland. Otherwise, an engine that...
