Can that rust be prevented if a person is proactive with anti-rust maintenance?

Interesting. What were you using prior to 60k and what did you use after the Valvoline clean up product? Thank you.My Subaru developed severe oil burning around 60k. The inside of the engine was spotless on 5k oci’s, pistons were not. Valvoline R&P cleaned up the pistons and stopped the oil burning. My point is not all oils are the same and engine/conditions dictate what oil to use.
It can be slowed down. you buy more time but rust wins in the end. (At least if you drive a lot like me, it washes out).
Yes rust can get the cars first but with engines newer than 20 years you want the best for your engine still.
Almost every one has oil pressure based variable valve timing with sensitive orifices that needs to be kept clear, clean and free of varnish.
You have internal components now that you dont want getting eaten by acidic oil, internal water pumps, wet belts and so on.

Yes, this was my scenario. My dad did have it undercoated, but not religiously, and the high wash areas were the ones that eventually caused problems. Wheel wells first, then the floor boards and eventually the brake/fuel lines.
For the longest time I always used Mobil 1 in my 13 4.8 Silverado. At some point I switched to ACDelco Dexos Full Synthetic (Dexos 1 Gen 2 at that point). When doing a heavy trailer pull I stopped for gas and checked the oil. Pulled dipstick and smoke came out. That had never happened before with the Mobil 1 (even in same circumstances). Back to Mobil 1.

Funny thing, this thread being brought up. This past weekend i lent my neighbor across the street a filter wrench. He was changing the oil on his 115K mile, 2020 RAM1500 with SuperTech Syn 5W20. I asked a few questions to which he replied.
- "Nothing but ST 5W20 has been used"
- "Nothing but FRAM oil filters"
- "Changes his oil every 5K miles religiously"
- "No issues, funny noises or concerns"
- "Was unaware of Kirkland oil"
BS'ing with friends, bringing up things learned on this forum, 100% of the time these people get glassy eyed over the idea of discussing motor oil on the internet! Ha ha.
I was this guy for the longest except mine was QS or VL. Always Fram. Didn’t know any better and really didn’t care to. To be honest I didn’t even know about Supertech until I came here. Never really looked around just grab my stuff and went on my way.
The super tech oil here is made by Warren. I do not use it exclusively but over the years have used various names made by Warren.
Jeep 208k
FJ 226k
Both daily driven and both currantly have traveller oil in them. Don't know who makes that

In my thread I tried not to do the blame game but many read between the lines.So the problem was Valvoline EP!
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.In my thread I tried not to do the blame game but many read between the lines.
Every pleat looked like that. Not saying it’s the valvoline oils fault but I will never use valvoline again. This was only after a 5k mile OCI. Im pretty sure your engine got so dirty because of the high molybdenum count in the valvoline. Great for reducing wear but it causes deposits to form from what i’ve heard.
Why are you even asking a question here if you're just going to argue with the people smarter than you who took the time to answer?
They were probably old Crown Vics. That engine is apparently indestructible.
Video is 9 years old. Things change.
QS Advanced durability, at least now lists as a synthetic blend, maybe not 9 years ago from threads here.
It was a Crown Vic they showed.
No frequency interval miles/months noted in video.
I used a lot of Quaker State in my '93 Corolla at 3k intervals until 2007. Had the oil burning issues that got worse. I used Auto-RX and that reduced the burning a lot. It was running great when it got totaled. I sold/scrapped parts including valve cover and head. No sludge, not recalling much varnish even but everything had a golden hue to 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 knowledge we got on this subject. It’s not that deep.
What is Auto-RX, an oil additive I assume? I don’t really use them at all, so I’ve never heard of it.
