Valvoline Restore & Protect

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.

Looks like some cleaning is going on, even down below the fill cap level. Color of the varnish below the cap level looks different too.

I’m sure that crow all the “it’s just marketing” naysayers will be eating is going to be delicious.

What you're looking at could easily be an optical illusion naysayers shall say

I'm excited for the first oil change so I can cut open the filter.

It was probably the illuminati.

Is that a tactical flashlight

Like with a horoscope?

Maybe you can get the date of manufacture off of the engine block and determine what it's sign is.

Looks like a bunch of stuff in there to clean and it's doing something already. I'd definitely change filter at about 2k (like HPL recommends with the EC30). I might let the oil go longer but if 3k keeps you happy, do it. Next run I'd probably go longer but still change filter sooner until you feel confident in what's not coming loose.

Exactly. As they look through their Amsoil colored glasses...

I just changed the oil in my new to me 2019 Silverado Custom 4.3 DI with 69,000 miles. Previous owner kept let’s say sketchy records so hopefully this new Valvoline 5w30 RP oil will do some cleaning if needed. Used a AC/ Delco PF 63 filter and I’m planning on 5,000 mile OCI with no filter changing mid run or filter autopsies after each change. I know…..it sounds crazy !

Since we on this topic, I'm about to try out this oil on my 2016 lexus nx 200t . kinda hard to move away from Mobil 1 HM and valvoline HM and try something news

we have two of these in the fleet and they are sweet trucks. that little V6 moves the truck along easily. one of our operators has average 21.5 MPG over this last OCI according to the dash.

I’d say if your already using a high quality synthetic oil. This Valvoline oil shouldn’t make any difference in your engine. My borescope after 108K miles looks brand new

How do you if your pistons are clean? Many engines look brand new if you remove the valve cover but the pistons, that's a different story.

 

[facility1]

its generally a good idea to run a injector/fuel treatment cleaner of good quality in the fuel system to help the combustion side of the engine stay clean and or use top tier gasoline...of course Valvoline restore and protect may and can help the situation of related engine deposits.

After careful thinking, I say this Alot during my time here since 2008, I say again, I found myself over thinking with all these new oil and new product last couple days. Imma just stick with the basic. And not thinking too much. Stick with name brand oil and filter is all I ever need. And change it on time. Back being inactive again .
