    Valvoline Restore & Protect

    It's the same youtuber who's video someone posted in this thread that may show varnish cleaning and that was also a video of a video of a borescope. But you're right it may not be foam but maybe frog eggs. Who's to say what's going on as very few people scope up through the drain hole. Maybe...

    I saw some at ours on 3/12 and forgot to post. That tag says go to their website for more selection but the high mileage isn't for sale online as of today.

    Unwilling to accept the data, staying with 2-3k oil changes

    There's something to short OCIs if Subaru, who has consistently had mediocre fuel economy and what that means with it's CAFE, has 3,000 mile OCIs for severe driving.

    2008 Toyota Corolla 1.8L on Mobil 1

    There's a guy on Youtube, DIY Dave, who's been chasing oil consumption for 4 years in his 170k-ish Corolla with a 1ZZ-FE. Interestingly he's thrown everything at it besides Restore & Protect. He has tried Berryman's, HPL and even Valvoline Premium Blue Restore Gen2 and a bunch of others...

    Interesting 2025 Mercedes CLA advertisement I saw the other day

    Powerful is relative, the Civic Type R does well for itself as a FWD with 315hp https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a42387169/lightning-lap-2023/ If you drop $67k on the highest AMG trimmed CLA you get 416hp (out of a 2 liter 😅). It's no EV but not bad.

    Valvoline oil change interval

    If you take Restore & Protect's FAQ as their official stance (and why not) you could go to the owner's manual OCI. So up to 10,000 miles under non-severe for some and as low as 3,000 under svere driving conditions for others. Some manuals are ok with 7,500 under severe conditions. If Restore &...

    HPL 5w-30 Euro VII pic

    Thanks for the clarification. If it's always been clean HPL wouldn't be detrimental after 7,000 miles. You should have posted your dipstick in the dipstick thread and added this pic instead of a separate post.

    HPL 5w-30 Euro VII pic

    Has it always looked like that? And I assume you mean 'Euro No VII'? It looks good!

    Why not use Valvoline R&P as the "forever oil"?

    Yeah I don't get the confusion in it's intent from the marketing. These are first 2 bullet points.
