Got any photos of that area before using Valvoline Restore and Protect?

No photos but I remember it having a dark tan hue all along the internals.
No before photos but visually it was all tarnished brown, shiny silver now.

Got a box of 12 Pentius PLXL7317 on eBay for $50 shipped, seem really well made for $4 each and will last me for a few years.

Nice! Wonder if Wal Mart Carrie’s it yet
Sounds incredible, we shall see shortly.
I am very impressed with Valvoline Restore and Protect in my engines. You can see with a camera the innards are spotless, silver, and shiny . That's in the Ford by the way with the fewest Valvoline Restore and Protect intervals at three. Used AMSOIL filters to 5-6k miles. 184k miles.
The Toyota is on interval number 5 of Valvoline Restore and Protect using Mobil 1 Extended Performance oil filters. 180k miles on it.
Valvoline Restore and Protect is a proven product.

Figured someone else would follow Valvoline's Restore and Protect success to grab some sales of the new craze in motor oil. Those are some pretty bold claims. Cleans in one oil change ...what's their definition of "cleans" I wonder.
Sludge per sequence VH rocker cover test. I’m not impressed. Relabeled EP is my guess.
Not a purchase but I just dug out 4 6qt boxes of Mobil 1 0W-40. The date on the box is 2018 and it's API SN. I bought these for my 2001 S4 but I haven't driven it since 2020 and I believe it has Amsoil AFL in there now. Since I'm not driving this car, I guess it is just gonna sit longer. My other three cars take 0W-20.
Use this for a 2nd Restore and Protect run
Just bought 3 more 5 qt jugs of Valvoline Restore and Protect 0w20. Also need to do the front diff in my Tacoma this fall

5 qt jug of Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30 and a Mann filter for our 2008 E320 Bluetec OM642 diesel. 4 qts in the garage already. Time for the 165k change.
Carquest R85334 (equivalent of Fram PH3593A) for the Hondas. This can is obviously Premium Guard.
Two quarts AMSOIL 75w85 for Durango diff’s, six quarts Pennzoil Platinum ATF+4 for the Ram 68RFE drain & fill.
Winter fill for 2025 Nissan Armada Pro-4.
6 quarts Mobil 1 ESP 5w-30
I debated between the 0w-30 and 5w-30 and preferred the 5w-30 being API SP certified and the 0w-30 not. I also like the Porsche C30 rating for the 3.5L twin-turbo VR35DDTT motor. Nissan manual recommends 0w-20 API SP so at least I have the SP cert covered for LSPI.
