Valvoline Restore and Protect Euro

[BHopkins]

Yeah, I think it'll mention something general statements, like below, for sure. This is from a link another member sent me.

Technical Description:
Meets or exceeds the following standards: American Petroleum Institute (API) SQ, European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) C3
Recommended for use:
Designed to meet API SQ and ACEA C3 standards, it is suitable for some European luxury models such as Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW.

It may be suitable. But it's going to be a hard sell to most VW/Audi/Porsche/BMW/MB owners without seeing any "Approved", or at the very minimum "Meets" to these Euro manufacturer specs. I won't put it in any of my Euro engines without this.

Three flavors only but great choices. North America will likely keep pushing 0w-20 oil while 5w-30 and 5w-40 will be welcome Worldwide.

Timing seems odd with base stock shortages …

Understandable, They pay good money for their vehicles so finding an actual approved oil is a good piece of mind.

It would be no different than running Amsoil, RL or HPL.

I want to thank you for what you posted, with words like suitable and hard sell, your words, not mine. You also posted the words Approved and minimum and then Meets to these Euro manufacture specs. If these Euro specs are so good why is there a need for Valvoline Restore and Protect? Many of these vehicles are specked for 5W-40, but here they are using 5W-30 VRP and getting results with less oil usage. These so-called specks are not working out.
