A guy is named Lake?
I've seen worse, lol.
Like with any good product that does a good job of cleaning, the dirtier the engine is, the more important it is to ensure the filter isn't gong to be overwhelmed. Proof that Valvoline R&P works well to clean up dirty engines.
My point, exactly!
Link?
No link but it's listed on the walmart app auto section as premium full synthetic oil change service, and mentions restore and protect.

Impressive video. 
Watched that last night, to me that definitely gave some proof that the VRP is legit for sure and definitely a solid option for regular interval drivers. I think I will run my wifes car and my moms cars on this stuff. I will stick with HPL on my junk.
I should clarify...I already started my wifes car on VRP and will continue.
HPL on your junk.....Gotcha
I was going to say there are more appropriate friction reducers.
Substantial cleaning for only 500 miles. It looks like this is more sludge though, which will clean up faster than piston deposits. Most oils can't clean existing piston deposits.
The way oils are traditionally designed is to mitigate deposit formation and keep them at bay.

What I have done is just grab one for the Kohler etc …
Don’t need anything right now …
Good point. At the same time, it at least indicates it could be successful at also cleaning piston deposit over time; if it’s this effective at sludge removal in only 500 miles.
Of course, a better comparison would’ve been a similar sludged control engine running a different off the shelf synthetic and filter dissection at 500 miles.
You miss not using a product? then why not start using it again.
I really think buster makes a good point about synthetic oils in what they cannot do, that is the reason for Valvoline Restore and Protect. In an engine that has already had its 1st oil change at like 5000 miles, and then goes onto use a quality synthetic oil at reasonable OCI's or by the OLM, then Valvoline Restore and Protect may not be needed. We cannot compare an off the shelf synthetic in a test against VRP, that ship has sailed.
Now, a used vehicle with cheap oil that is changed when it is changed, can benefit from VRP. I do not even want to see any so-called control test with VRP versus another oil, I want to see real world testing from BITOG Members and others. Valvoline might be onto something, let's see how this plays out over the next few months or so.
