engine braking should help clean up the rings quicker
Valvoline Restore and Protect
- Thread starter Scott S
- Start date
Both are good
Likely tomorrow I'll change out my first Valvoline Restore and Protect fill for my second.
I'm at 4,650 mi. now.
I want black corn flakes all over the filter element.

The oil control rings are the only place in my HEMI I can think of that the material HPL liberated came from (whole life prior on Mobil 1 Extended Protection 0W-20). This is consistent with KnappAttack stating that it provided the same effect (got rid of the oil consumption problem) as Restore and Protect.
really? it does? dint know it has such benefits.how often should i do that? its better from higher revs or just in town slow speed?
and i cant have any of them,now that i need them..
Hit the highway......that will get the oil good and hot with a decent load on the engine and rings.
Keep the rpms ups 3-4k

The Motor Oil Greek just posted a new video on Valvoline Restore and Protect.
Restore & Protect vs Deposits (500,000 Mile Engine Tear Down Reveals All)
Restore & Protect vs Deposits (500,000 Mile Engine Tear Down Reveals All)
Most of the video was just a nothing burger. More of what we already knew watching the original tear down video.
What I wonder is what the temp has to be and for how long? My Impreza, especially during the winter during my commute might not get to 180F. I can if I put it in faux manual mode and drive in 2nd and 3rd gear during my 5 miles 15 minute commute. The summer is obviously different but still not hitting 200+.
So say, 180 for 15 minutes? 200 for 30 minutes? That I info I would love to know and would help inform my driving habits and how often I may go out for a drive if I don't have a longer one coming up.
But how?
I always downshift and I can tell you there is some issue with my oil rings. I have about 1.5 qt oil consumed for 5K miles.

The idea is that the vacuum created in the cylinders with the throttle blade closed will pull "out" on the rings. This can also draw oil by the rings however, leading to a bit of consumption.
White Monster? Haven't we had the talk about additives yet?
Why the Motor Oil Geek calls (in the UOA) Silicon, a Silicone and says it's from RTV/sealants.
But in previous videos has said Silicon is from break-in pistons rings and cylinder walls.
I tend to agree with the second one because todays modern engines contain certain amount of silicon within the piston rings and cylinder blocks too, the 2nd one especially in German engines.

Will 16 ounces cause much dilution? Does the carbonation help get into the nooks/crannies?
So the oil will be a 5W-25?
Minuscthe white monster. Used to drink the green one long time ago. Don't do it
I'm close in miles, and I had the same thought. Good time for a good cleaning. Running 4 OCIs and will then re-assess.
different situations so different answers. This time it's from putting the engines back together. They were completely torn down. The other time, it was a different situation. These engines have 500,000 miles. They aren't breaking in...
Something not shown in the Valvoline tear down was the bottom of the piston clean-up ... that was pretty impressive.
The biggest NON-nothing burger was the test results showing reduced fuel contamination in the oil. All attributed to Valvoline Restore and Protect.
