Yes, @jetman and a few others have used this.

 

[sdowney717]

I don't need such an oil. I tried the gas engine version and it worked in an oil using Ford Contour v6 extremely well.
It stopped using oil. So far anyway.

 

[ctechbob]

I wonder if it is using the same tech they're using in Restore and Protect.

 

[jetman]

Yes, @jetman and a few others have used this.

@sdowney717

No, I've never used or found VPB Restore gen2.

VPB Restore Gen1 is available for $80/gal at Cummins dealers only. I asked my local Cummins dealer about VPBR gen2 and they have never heard of it?

 

[sdowney717]

Found it on Ebay
$69 for 3 gallons, had me thinking but I guess not restore and protect.

NO

Premium Blue Restore = Ester based

Valvoline Restore and Protect = Novel chemistry, still unknown

 

[ctechbob]

NO

Gen1 was ester based. Is Gen 2?

 

[sdowney717]

I have a 2005 Cummins Ram diesel truck and it has no emission devices. No EGR. DEF etc... as Factory

Why not if I wanted, use regular 5w-30 restore and protect made for gas engines, I think it is a lot less cost

 

[BC1]

How much oil are burning to need a $300 oil change? You might get away with that 5w-30 gas oil doing 2000 mile changes cruising the highway. The first time towing your skid-steer or 5th wheel rods and crank with be high fiving bearings.

Yes, the only difference is Gen2 has a CK-4 add pack.

Just commenting to make sure you realize this isn’t the Premium Blue Restore.

I realize this is aimed at Cummins, but it would be cool if they made it in 5W40 or 15W40 for us HEUI Powerstroke people.

Not burning any oil for now.
The restore product for diesels is a 30w oil too.
I don't tow anything with my truck
I have 170,000 miles on this truck.
It runs excellent.

$300 for the diesel version?

You can buy the restore oil for gas version at Walmart, $120 for 5 gallons
I bought that for our car.

[sdowney717]

That price of $20 per gallon is an excellent deal. And you can run this oil all the time, not just for cleaning.

It is a heavy box, with a plastic oil bag and a spigot. I transfer oil from box to an old oil jug, then pour that in the car.

Valvoline says is diesels CK-4 rated
Still says cleans in a single service.
Idea is half way through cleaning, change oil filter

Has a number you can call in this link

Cummins extensively tested and found no damage on their engines

It isn't

This Motor Oil Geek video's topic answers most all of the points brought up using Valvoline Premium Blue Restore vs Valvoline Restore and Protect. He's at the Valvoline lab where testing is done and results analyzed. Starting at 14:30, the Valvoline guy talks specifically about why the rate of carbon reduction is not too fast. Spoiler: They don't want to overwhelm the filter causing it to go into bypass. Extremely helpful video. Had I not already stocked up on HPL Premium Plus PCMO, I'd be using this oil. I'm going to start using this in my daughter's CR-V with almost 200k miles.

 

[sdowney717]

Part number 898013 is $79.90 for 3 gallons

So an oil change is $80 in a 12 quart truck, not too shabby.
$27 per gallon.
