Hey, take it easy on this guy. He owes me 40$That is certainly not proving it with data.
EDIT: I apologize to proveitwithdata - he isn't the one who owes me 40 bucks.

Up to. So somewhere between 0% and 100%The marketing sheet is worded with language that gives the effect of 4 oil changes will clean upto 100% of deposits.
Up to 100% piston deposit removal when used as directed for four or more consecutive oil changes at standard maintenance intervals, based on adapted sequence IIIH testing.
Valvoline claims that for this product.Actually they say that it restores the dirty pistons to factory clean which implies that it cleans the existing deposits.
Agreed. Usually higher mileage oils lack it. But my main point was that the price is pretty high for not carrying it while also making what amount to non tangible claims for claimed results which will happen years down the road.Some of the best oils out there in the global markets, lack dexos approvals.
I'll bet you 40$
Winner sends funds via Zelle.
I win. I'm part of that camp and I'm nowhere near upset by it.
Again, sludge and piston deposits are not the same thing. Removing piston deposits and varnish requires a lot of solvency. Sludge can be removed via detergents and dispersants.Pennzoil:
From as far back as 2008….
“In fact, the superior active cleansing agents in Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic motor oil not only help prevent sludge, but also clean out up to 46% of built-up sludge in the first oil change.”
Pennzoil Platinum Cleans Engine Sludge in the First Oil Change
Earlier this year, Pennzoil announced a new brand strategy that makes strong claims about the oil's ability to help keep a vehicle's engine clean, and a clean engine's connection to the driver. The bold, new brand initiative is built around the theme of "Feel the Clean." In fact, the superior...www.techshopmag.com

So again, what’s different about this product than the ones I just listed above?
It's different formulation than the Restore developed with Cummins.Isn't this more or less the gasoline engine version of their expensive diesel cleaning oil, Premium Blue Restore?
That oil works as described and is well praised. Not sure why all the hate and skepticism in this thread. Ignorance maybe...
That is a different productI saw this. Unfamiliar with the site, but they claim Restore and Protect is Group IV/V oils. I personally don't care what the group of oil is that I use as long as the performance is there. I wish Valvoline would post specs for the oil.
To me “deposits” and “sludge” are simply semantics and marketing. No different than pennzoils claim to keep pistons cleaner. If the product is keeping pistons cleaner, it’s also cleaning them as well. Perhaps this is simply their restore for the diesels rebottled. Or a good ester based oil.Again, sludge and piston deposits are not the same thing. Removing piston deposits and varnish requires a lot of solvency.

My guess is that it'll have more or use AN's. A little AN goes a long way from what I understand. It may be a decent alternative for those oil burners out there.Restore & Protect - Valvoline™ Global

pretty large grey area if you ask me?Up to. So somewhere between 0% and 100%
How did you win? Do you have data proving that my camp is upset?pretty large grey area if you ask me?
Id like my $40 now please in crispy new dollar bills?
4 years is meaningless to me …Well, it wouldn't take 4 years to clean out deposits for starters
Not being critical but without dexos approval and the high pricing I'm not sold yet.
I dont even know what camps are, just pointing out the grey area in the marketing material. But if that leads me to get 40 smackroos dm me.How did you win? Do you have data proving that my camp is upset?
Hey my camp, if this new Valvoline product upsets you in any way, please quote and reply to my post......
Daddy needs his 40 bucks.

The supposed cleaning power is not ester based per Valvoline.I want to see a VOA of this at Polaris (NOT Blackstone) to see ester content.
