Valvoline Restore and Protect 10W-40 Now Available in Australia

[YZJB]

Now available at Repco! 5W-30 and 10W-40, AU$97 for 6L which is a bit steep but cool to see it make its way over here

I like it, but not for that price.

 

[KnappAttak]

Wonder why we don't have it in the US in a 40 weight flavor?

For that price I'd leave the jug on the funnel overnight to get every drop.

That's $65.88 for 6.34 quarts, or $10.39/qt. Many members on here pay a lot more than that for a quart of oil and then dump it at 3-4K miles.
Yes, I know Walmart has it for 5.99/qt in the US.

40 weight usage is way more common in Australia than in the US.

Australian dollars. About $66 US.

Thanks mate, I didn’t expect to see that here. Glad they gave me a 10W40 too.

Repco has regular oil sales, so it will be 20 to 30% off at some stage. That is the time to buy it.

glad that they now have it for our friends Down Under. But how about us here in the Great White North. Can't find it anywhere. Not everybody lives near the border.

Looking forward to it coming over to the UK. Do you think it'll have ACEA standards? I'd like to see an A3/B4 one for my old diesel and my sisters 1l Toyota engine car. I wonder what effect it would have on a diesel engine compared to a gasoline one.

I'd be even more impressed if they could make a C3 rated one for my 1.6 diesel with a DPF.

Only API SP at this stage unfortunately

I had a look, it’s only API SP. Which is unusual for Australia, as every other 10W40 carries ACEA A3/B4 as well as the API spec.

Probably the easiest way to bring it to the market was just to make it SP only. That will do me, given that I never expected to see it here.

Now I need to read all those previous Restore & Protect threads.
Hmmmmm….maybe if I ask a stupid question in a new thread @kschachn will do all the searching for me?


<just a friendly joke kschy mate>

Just ordered some from Repco as they’re doing a 25% off storewide sale today. Will try it in the Volvo S80 T6 and see if it can reduce the oil burning at all.

I'm trying it (American 5w30 version) in a T5 Volvo. How much are you burning? Good luck!

Around 1L per 2000km at the moment. Hopefully R&P improves it a little!

 

[YZJB]

It really does exist! Just picked up 2x bottles for the other Volvo (the T6). I’m sitting in the V8 which is clean inside and doesn’t burn oil. Will be interesting to see how it goes in the T6!

What motor? Chances are it's more due to compression loss/ring wear than deposits.

5 cylinder. Maybe so. I've seen YouTube videos and it looks like clogged oil control rings. However, maybe you're right, maybe it's more that they deteriorate. I'm not sure.
