I like the way this guy thinks

Correct no VRP ever used in my mothers subaru.

I think any engine ever will get a golden hue eventually except maybe if you exclusively run VRP. I saw a guy with an 07 camry with the 2AZ-FE that was burning extreme amounts of oil pour chemtool b12 directly in the combustion chamber, let it sit, then crank it over with the sparkplugs out...

Yeah this stuff looks professional, that's why I haven't seen it before probably. Good to know about it if I ever have an issue like that.

Holy crap a 15k mile OCI is very long, what made you want to run that many miles on the oil change?

Definitely because of you guys' severe conditions, where I live is pretty sparse and you rarely even get stopped by lights if you take the right routes which we try to do as much as possible. Back roads around the city for the win.

Here is my moms Subaru Outback 2016, 150,002 miles, mainly Supertech 0W-20 FS HM, 10K OCI. Lots of city driving, no matter how much I try to convince my dad to change it at 5K miles he insists on 10K but oh well, not my car. The little darker spot is just because oil sits there and cooks...

I agree that VRP is extremely good at cleaning tarnish and carbon deposits, my vehicles and the ones i maintain have never seen excessive tarnish so I haven’t had any reason to use it. For me that premium price point of VRP is not necessary for my vehicles.

What is Auto-RX, an oil additive I assume? I don’t really use them at all, so I’ve never heard of it.

Im not arguing I just disagreed with them. I literally heard them out on everything they had to say and stated why I disagreed based off my experiences with the oil. You’re the one who’s looking to argue calling them smarter than me when you don’t know either of us and how smart or how much...

I ran valvoline ep in my old camry for a singular oil change and that’s when it decided to throw a bunch of metal shavings, larger ones in my oil filter, likely rod bearing material. Every pleat looked like that. Not saying it’s the valvoline oils fault but I will never use valvoline again. This...

I've watched this video as well it was very interesting to see the difference in conventional and full syn. I do like the high levels of moly in valvoline.

Ah yes that'll definitely do it

My mother's subaru that runs supertech for 10k OCI also looks nearly like this with 150k miles. I can post a picture later

Quaker State posted a video taking apart an engine from a crown vic taxi cab that ran quaker state advanced durability conventional motor oil in NYC for 500,000 miles, 3000 mile OCI. The area around piston rings had no excessive carbon build up and I doubt any full syn is gonna be as dirty as a...

Are these two the same engine? What cars is this?

Probably nothing but less moving parts to fail lol.

To each their own

Totally agree
