Valvoline Restore & Protect

[Foxtrot08]

if his voice was less annoying yall would love him
or if he had a drawing and other info of the specific cleaning molecule they use

(Random educated guess: Look towards the ZDDP chain…)

Is this Valvoline Restore and Protect sold in Canada? I don't see it at Canada Tire.

We didn't get EP in Canada either. Though I did find an SDS sheet for R&P for Canada.

Can I drink it to clean out my arteries too?

Possibly. Give it a try and report back. It might take 4 tries to get results.

May want to take a look at this . PENNZOIL Ultra Platinum is part of the topic . Starts @ 4:33 .

^^^ "Piston slap" is caused by excessive piston skirt to cylinder clearance when the engine is cold ... it's not anything directly oil related. If his rings are actually stuck, then the engine should be showing some obvious signs of oil consumption/burning. If more of his use and investigation of oil consumption keeps improving with Valvoline R&P, then it would seem to be working on the ring pack.

@Fa24wrx , any updates on the Versa?

This thread is fascinating, always impressed by the amount of knowledge on this board.

I've looked at it once more (this past Sunday/ the 26th). Looked like minor changes but still changes.

The blurry ish pic is from 5/11 and the clear is from 5/26.

In Canada use Duron SAE 40 and a can of Mobil Jet Oil 254.

How often should I change this oil? 3k? What about filter?

I say 5k, let the oil run longer the more it cleans...

Swap the filter half way if you feel to..

I won't go more than 3k on this without a UOA

What's the UOA going to tell you?

 

[Sandstorm]

What's the UOA going to tell you?

Nothing much. Studying the filter you'll get more information

 

[Fa24wrx]

I just would rather have some data before proceeding. Never had one done on this. That's if I wanted to go past 3k. Otherwise, I'll just change at 3k

That area under the fill cap doesn't get much if any direct oil splash contact. I'd try to get clear photos along the way of the area down below the fill cap level.

Like with a horoscope?

A borescope would be ideal, but not sure what astrological sign the engine is though, lol.

Focus on the area below the cap, like shown by the red oval if possible to get clear photos using the camera flash.
