Another Valvoline Restore and Protect result - 2015 Subaru

[hansj3]

I'm just wrapping up my fourth oci on my wife's 2015 Subaru Forester with and Valvoline Restore and Protect 0w-20, I would also hit it with Rislone engine treatment, for a more traditional cleaning action along side. Run for the manufacturer Recommended 5k oil change interval.

It's a manual (They consume less than a CVT) but my consumption went from just over 1qt per 1600mi, to one at in 4k. I can live with adding a quart per oil change interval.

Going forward, I think I'm going to drop the Rislone, who knows if it really added any improvement, but the engine as it sits is pretty clean, from what I can see.

With Vegas so expensive - any bets over how many pages this will reach ?

You real just should try moving it to a 30 grade Valvoline Restore and Protect and drop using all the additional additives

Nice results. How many miles? Is that a 2.0 naturally aspirated?

I've been using 5w30 in my son's 19 2.5 (non-DI) with no discernible gas mileage hit. I'd consider a 30, but just me and my methods. Good thought to drop the Rislone.

Great to hear. Also I have used Rislone as a cleaner. It never did decrease oil consumption but Valvoline Restore and Protect did.

Nice! Stick with the Valvoline Restore and Protect. Not just a "quick fix" and move on oil. I've been using it long term with great results.

 

[panthermike]

Solid results! Might improve even more with continued use.

Keep using it but in 5w30 flavor

It would be the FB25 engine, 2.5L.

Your engine isn't a toilet for flushes or cleaners, if you're changing oil on schedule.
If you start to lose oil, some 500-1000 miles before you start losing oil is the best time for changing oil if you're on 0w20 / 5w20

What were the results? I don't see any listed besides a moderator edit.

Seeing results like GW, yours and from the dozens of FB engine Subarus I take care of.. these engines should all be staying with Valvoline Restore and Protect.

A reduction in oil consumption, from 1 qt per 1.6 k to 1 qt per 4k

I've tried varing the viscosity, to little effect. The 2.5 runs well and gets good milage. Why wander?

The Forester has the fb25, the naturally asperated 2.5.

186k last I looked

It drinks the 30grade? Again them additives probably doing nothing but money flush.

Before Valvoline Restore and Protect, it drank at 40 grade.

What was run in its lifetime name any brands to list.
