Pretty cheap stuff. Is this the stuff you’re talking about?

Yeah can’t find Valvoline Restore on eBay anymore. I’m sure it will be harder and harder to come across it as time passes. Good eye on noticing the maker. It looks like that’s the only way to get the Restore now. Good info Gokhan!

Yep! It's been around a while. I dunno if the thread is still here but the VOA showed very little in conventional oil detergents, but one of their reps came on and had a discussion with a mod here and it has various esters and other "penetrating oils." Their marketing is often terrible, but it is a good product that I have seen eliminate lifter ticks and the like. Last I heard, it is about 11% ester...
Premium Blue Restore is made by Valvoline (Valvoline part number 869831) but it is a Cummins repair part (Cummins part numbers 4337619 and 4337621).

At that price it’s a no brained. Thanks Slugger!
Valvoline/Cummins Premium Blue Restore engine oil is verified to have a 50% polyol ester (POE) content, in addition to a 10% alkylated naphthalene (AN) content. This makes it at least 20 times more powerful than a quart of oil treatment with an alleged but not verified 11% ester content. You get what you pay for.

True, but I think it is also like $76 a gallon...
Pennzoil burnt in my engine like it was egg boiling.
That has been my experience with PUP on the two vehicles I’ve used it in.
However I’ve not had that issue when using PP.
If it had the appropriate license or approval then it was a problem with your engine, not the oil.
The thread about running slightly used oil told me enough.
That thread you linked won't open on my phone..BITOG error. I have ran across this before. Any ideas what the issue is?
It opens on a computer though..
Probably it's one of the broken things that have arisen from switching to the new version of the discussion board!

I really do not want to speak for him, but I think MolaKule has verified this. I am not really interested in a pissing contest over who's additive is better. I'm just posting an option that has worked for me personally and many others here. The caveat being is their marketing is infantile and I would never use this in every OCI. But you could run three or four OCI's of Rislone for a fraction of the cost. If someone really wants to make a Cummins dealer parts guys smile, by all means!
And then there is Kreen!

You need to run a private detective office, will suit you better than chasing oils
Wow so on Mobil1 my engine has no problems and on PUP it does? Then the only problem in my engine is the Pennzoil
This poster it is one brand that's a "bad" oil, the other poster it is another brand. A third says it is yet something different. I thought Mobil 1 was the evil spawn with excessive consumption and loud noise?
If the oil really was "burnt in my engine like it was egg boiling" then yes it is your engine.

I located some of the “Valvoline Premium Blue Restore” which only comes in 10w30 at a near by Cummins Sales and Service.
Question; if I’m burning on average about 1 quart every 1,500 miles and it’s probably best to run this stuff for 10,000miles(I’ll probably run it for 5,000miles). What do I do as the oil level on the VPBR starts to drop? Do I just top it off with any regular synthetic oil such as Mobil 1 FS 0W40 that you recommended?
also what is this Valvoline rebate I often see people talking about. Is it available only certain time of the year? Could I apply any kind of rebate to this expensive VPBR to help make it more affordable?

Valvoline/Cummins Premium Blue Restore is not an engine-oil additive. It is a heavy-duty engine oil (HDEO). It's mostly POE with some AN and some PAO. It does not contain any Group III or GTL. This is why it is so expensive. POE is a very expensive base stock. It comes as a repair package with several gallon-size bottles (you need about fifteen gallons for a semi) and the Fleetguard LF14000NN oil filter to clean the carbon deposits in semi engines. It is a much cheaper alternative to an engine rebuild.
