I don’t have Pb in my system ever and asked for a re-do on Iron, aluminum and lead. The results are even lower. Wear metals are 1.32ppm/1 K mi To the Valvoline team, thank u and I will be reducing my future UOA.

The HPL Euro is suppose to have a high Boron that gets consumed during use but my HPL Euro has high moly which I cannot explain.

HPL Euro is a very different oil than Valvoline Restore and Protect and has more expensive base stock which shows up as higher oxidation and nitration values. Valvoline Restore and Protect is built on the cheaper Group 3+ base stock with Valvoline’s exclusive proprietary low wear additives.

I agree. It is my forever oil. Sample #5 is VHM 5w-30, #4 is HPl euro is sample #3 + 5457mi, #3 is HPl euro 5w-30 with 4k on the oil. No oil consumption

An update.

As promised the results are in. I asked for the missing oxidation and nitration. In my case, the Valvoline Restore and Protect is a 5k OCI for the 2GR-FE. It is a Ho-Hum post. 1.75 ppm/ 1K mi wear metal rate. With Valvoline Restore and Protect, I think I will start doing a UOA after every 2 or...

Called customer service and they said Monday cob.

No rebate offered on the LX25 tire.

Using the post as a placeholder when the UOA is completed. It has been an arduous journey since May 1 for an UOA.

Just arrived today. Despite having a printed shipping label, I was very lucky they found it. This UOA will be the 2nd Valvoline Restore and Protect oc.

The sample just arrived by good old wagon train. Must have languished at the TV sitcom “Petticoat Junction”. At least 10 USPS calls for delivery: Horizon Analysis+ oil analysis in Indianapolis. Stay tune

Had to buy $35+ to get free Walmart shipping, so I bought Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30 for $30. Still available for now.

What was the selling price? Beautiful interior.

Thinking about the AS4 or the AS + 3. Which ones and why?

I think they found a similar lead mosaic tile pattern in the ruins of Pompeii.

How is the treadwear? There are some TR comments that they wear rapidly. More like a 35-40k mi tire before needing replacement.

My 09 ES350 2GR-FE V6 NA has 62k mi and it is on its 1sr Valvoline Restore and Protect. The last 20k or 8yrs it has been on a Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, Mobil 1 and Quaker State. Previous 40k, an unknown oil used. Fall time, it is going to be interesting to what carbon I find in the filter cartridge.

Earlier during the year, I stockpiled the ST9972 as part of my stash. For the three 2GR V6 engines, I have nine filters which is enough until 2030.

They call it a transfer case despite being an AWD. https://www.toyotanation.com/threads/transfer-case-oil-change.1577506/

A small Toyota SUV rear differential is less than 1qt. $75 with friction modifier is highway robbery considering the best rated gear oil which is Amsoil - $30. She could have bought 6qts of Mobil 1 for $72 + a ☕️. https://a.co/d/06sXgy59
