Valvoline Restore and Protect drawbacks?

[ZeeOSix]

The so-called Turbos in today's Engines are Liquid Cooled? What is the weight of the oil these engines are specking? It is either 5W-30 or a lower grade.

What I've seen is that the turbo version of the same engine typically gets a grade higher than the non-turbo version.

Main con is the lack of Dexos 1 approval.

It’s not an issue for non GM owners

I think this one is air-cooled.

Was thinking about the long-term ramifications of using Valvoline Restore and Protect. Just wondering if there are any downsides to using it. Could Valvoline Restore and Protect be harder on engine gaskets and seals than other oils? Because it chews up sludge and varnish, could it also chew on gaskets and seals?

Oh man, that’s all that’s keeping my 2005 Taurus together.
