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

Wha……. I want 6L jugs in Canada. Biggest I’ve seen is the 5L Pennzoil jugs. That’s pretty nice.

5, 6 and even 7L jugs are very common in Australia.

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>

ACEA specs are no longer self-reporting, they have to pass the actual test sequences to claim the spec. There's a bunch of EU hoops and red tape to jump through now, plus the extra cost is not happening for a product launch literally on the other side of the globe.

Yes, most Valvoline oil sold in Australia is made in Valvoline’s New South Wales plant.

Quick update on this, have been running 10W-40 R&P in the S80 T6 for just on 1,500km and so far the oil consumption is at zero – fill level has not changed on the dipstick. This is a very good start!

Also, the engine is absolutely noticeably quieter. Interesting stuff!

How much consumption would you have normally had at 1500km? The quieter engine is definite.

I sure wish I had your 10w-40 here. Since I have to use the 5w-30, my 5 cylinder Volvo is consuming a quart in 2000 miles vs a quart in 3500 on my previous oils.

It usually drank around 1L per 2500km, so at the 1500km mark it would usually be well below the full mark.
