Valvoline Restore & Protect 5w-30 (Gonna Take a Chance)

[buster]

How did this post go on for 20 pages? The original poster tells us he's putting this oil into a spanking new Ford. If I were in the aisle at Walmart and saw an oil whose tagline is "restore and protect," my first though would be "What old beater on its last legs would I put this into."

The BITOG way lol.

The OP has probably left the group, grabbed some M1 and changed his oil already, and probably joined another group.. while we continue on about this oil

 

[KCJeep]

He returned it like 18 pages ago and bought some ESP if I remember right. This thread has been classic BITOG.

Can you tell it’s cold outside?

Feels like I just read a bunch of misleading reviews. Some almost seem written by AI.

If anyone from Valvoline reads this, this influencer program is shameful when many here show authentic and knowledgable enthusiasm (ex: threads dissecting an oil filter).

No doubt they are fake reviews. My company at one time also posted fake Glassdoor reviews too.

Waiting for it to be sold at Walmart. Depending on price point --- might try it in the Vulcan engine.

Somebody mentioned somewhere here it actually smelled a bit like gear oil IIRC. The old Castrol Magnatec did smell kind of fruity, speculation was due to esters which is where I think you were going?

Esters are a broad family. The ones used in motor oils do not have a fruity smell, in fact they have little to no odor.

Exactly my thoughts when I first read it. Not the application it was intended for.

My sister Ester is a Broad. I will admit that whenever she greets me with a kiss to my cheek, she smells like Baby Powder.
Ester says she doesn't like kissing Graybeards and she changes her own Valvoline Syn oil.

Who remembers Sanford and son? How about Aunt Ester she was a real broad?

Aunt Ester was one of the best parts of that show. Alas the producers never let it slip whether or not she used Valvoline.

Looks like this oil will NOT be sold at Walmart and is exclusive to overpriced AutoZone

I don't know what Aunt Ester used, but Elizabeth, I'm comin to restore ya honey, with some Valvoline 5W-30.

That’s not bad if you get the 3 pack jugs it’s already down to 30 a jug. Wally’s isn’t even in the game yet.

Don’t see them releasing what they are calling a breakthrough oil and then restricting it to one auto parts chain. And it has shown up on Amazon already.

My bet is there's quite a bit of interest in the product.

Went to the local autozone and got me some.
I'll send a sample off virgin sample off to JG Lubricant Sevices Inc tomorrow. They use Oil Analyzers Inc. I'll get both TBN & TAN

Here is the virgin report. Doesn't look too special to me?
Oxidation is low, so not a lot of esters.

I asked for both TBN & TAN????

I'll call them tomorrow and see if they will come up with it.
