Valvoline Restore & Protect 4K MI result with pics.

[BLKSVT]

First time poster, I recently purchased my 2014 Raptor 6.2L with 134k MI (currently 138k) and wanted to share my results after 4k mi with R&P. The engine used to have a cold start lash adjuster tick for a second after sitting for a few days and now it has stopped the noise, and seems to run smoother but it's probably the placebo effect.

Edit : The pics are from the oil fill and the pcv side.

Pic on left with arrows is result after 4k on R&P. Pic on right is when I purchased the truck.

Pic is when the oil had 2k mi

I don’t see much difference

I wasn't expecting much but it cleaned a little of the varnish on the VVT solenoid within 4k mi.

Nice! Its coming off slowly but surely, and from what I can see that’s a low splash area
