awesome thanks for the input!

Hey all, I got this vehicle at 120k miles and based on service hx looks like it got most of its oil changes at those highway quick lube places and most of the miles on it are highway. Essentially since ive had it, vehicle has had strictly Valvoline restore and protect running thru its veins. At...

Hey, all just want to keep this thread short and sleek. If someone is looking for the best priced UOA w TBN, what would you recommend? I can start and unless someone can beat this, I think its likely the Amsoil kit that they sell for $26 without postage. Seems to be done by Polaris labs as...

nvm** someone else posted this on BITOG and it answers my q " Yes, I’ve called PG several times now and the official PG EX(Extended Life) efficiency range is as follows. This also applies to the 10k filters made by PG for others.(Carquest Premium, Microgard Select etc.) 98.7%@15...

hey all, I need a 7317 filter for my 2014 acura rdx. I usually use microgard select which is $9.99 and has been fine for past few oil changes. I know the difference won't make a diff however the BITOGer in me got me thinking. The micogard select on o'reillys website says 99 percent...

Awesome seems like our OCI will likely be similar then

VCM over here but muzzled

hey all just wondering for people with a J35 engine and running Valvoline Restore and Protect, how long you guys running it for? I am at 7k ish miles mixed city and highway and want to push it a bit more until I get a UOA to share with the group. OLM says 30% life left PS: This is like my...

I totally agree. I should have stated that in my original post as well because what I meant to say was it should be a goto oil for any oil change. It shouldn’t be an oil for only first 4-5 OCI’s It seems some people want to use it for 4 OCI and then switch back to there previous oil But why...

Fair enough but I assume there are piston deposits on most engine's that even people think are clean. It is not like most people boroscope there engines weekly or anything. That is also why, as long as the price is similar as in for people who get Mobil 1 or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum or Castrol...

Oh yeah never mind. Then I guess my post only applies to USA

Appreciate it, this post may seen unnecessary to some but I believe when people are new to this forum and are looking for the "best" oil to run, I want them to see this thread and think heavily on Valvoline Restore and Protect

even Walmart? I have been to Walmart all over the country and seem to always find Valvoline Restore and Protect there also for the best price

Fair enough but if I may ask what are you currently using? My reasoning is that if its a typical oil then Valvoline Restore and Protect can provide more benefits because why not. Of course, I am not arguing your engine is clean however you never know what your rings may have on them

I don't see why Valvoline Restore and Protect shouldn't be the go-to oil for the average Joe with regular OCIs in mind As most of us already know this Valvoline Restore and protect cleans better then basically anything else in that price range. Valvoline has even stated its good for up to the...

hey all, i have officially done 20k miles on Valvoline Restore and Protect and have done atleast 4 oil changes with fresh Valvoline Restore and Protect each time. I truthfully don't think I will try a diff oil until I do a few more Valvoline Restore and Protect oci just for peace of mind. I...

I could be wrong but seems like as good as a deal as it can get I normally pay $30 for a jug at Wally and I get any top notch filter which is around $10 each That’s $40 without tax etc and I used to think that was a fine deal Now I’m getting the same filter and oil combo for $40 which is...
