This has been seen on here before. That is why I went w 3k miles oci's. It started burning on my Element between 3-4k miles. Element did not burn prior to use, was using it to remove heavy varnish. Stuck rings were fixed prior to Valvoline Restore and Protect being made.
Valvoline oils: which do you like or prefer?

The one sold in a NAPA labeled bottle/jug.
Was there any oil consumption prior to Valvoline Restore and Protect? It probably doesn’t have the best noack, though as is typical for Valvoline. I think this relates to their limited use when extending OCIs.
No. I have 600 miles on the second change and it’s an 1/8” below the full mark. Maybe it’s leaking? Oil cooler is a year old. It’s a Chrysler 3.6l with 132,000 miles.
My 2020 Wrangler hasn’t used a drop in 1200 miles on its first change of Valvoline Restore and Protect. 58000 miles on its 3.6l.
Been using these from my stash for a while. I like
Just finished using up old stock and am moving everything to Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W30. I prefer to keep one oil on hand and that will be the one in 5 gallon garage boxes.
Very helpful to hear…
Put this in my father in laws 08 Toyota Camry… Hopefully Valvoline Restore and Protect will get that better too.
All the lady’s Toyota RAV 4 sees is Valvoline Extended Protection High Mileage or Valvoline FS HM….
The RAV runs very quiet on that. Had a bad, bad valve cover leak on that RAV… A bit of story there.. Got it fixed up and good to go now.
I run valvoline extended protection high mileage 5w30 in my ram 1500 ........super smooth and quiet .........I run the Full Synthetic high mileage 5w30 in my wifes frontier ...... bought 3 garage boxes dirt cheap ......... doesn't burn a drop and runs smooth
I may run an Oci of Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30 in my ram after this run of ep/hm ............always kept up on the oil since I bought truck new so don't see any sludge but the used oil analysis I've seen on this oil the wear at 7,500 is really good different brands of engine
5w30 Euro XL-III
5W-40 A3/B4
If the engine is so dirty that it needs cleaning, then Valvoline Restore and Protect is appropriate, if it is suitable for the application.

I've used a lot of Valvoline DuraBlend 10W40 semi-synthetic (API SN & ACEA A3/B4), but it's getting harder to find.
Just recently I purchased 12L of Valvoline Restore and Protect 10W40 synthetic (API SP).
I like a good quality 10W40.

I've decided to go with Valvoline Advanced Full Synthetic in both of our vehicles. From what I've seen, Valvoline has the highest molybdenum content of all off the shelf oils.
Well I run Valvoline Restore and Protect in everything from a Honda K24, a ‘12 Pentastar, 2x first-gen GM 3.6 (LY7), an end-of-the-line 2010 Northstar, and my Ford 5.4 2v. If we include kids and parents vehicles we have 2.4 Theta, Tigershark 2.4 and 2x Subaru 2.5 and 2.0
I have used Valvoline Extended Protection High Mileage, never used Valvoline Restore and Protect.
Used Valvoline MaxLife (Red bottle)more often
I have to say I now use Quaker State High Mileage but still use Valvoline gear oil and Valvoline MaxLife transmission fluid.

I never really thought about Valvoline one way or the other.
Now I'm running Valvoline Full Synthetic 10w30 HM in my 05 4.0L TJ Wrangler. The Wrangler seems to like it and I'll use it again.
Also on the second OCI with Valvoline Restore and Protect in my daughter's Jeep Liberty. No real change noted yet in oil consumption but it otherwise runs good.
