Valvoline Restore & Protect

[Plumb Bob]

I am curious too where this all ends up.......

If it works as they claim, it will likely end up with other manufacturers introducing similar products.
A win win for us.

Has anyone else seen the August 24 review from amazon customer titled "Incredible Stuff." ?

I know a lot of us are more interested in piston ring cleaning.

However, the person shows a sludged up 2007 Chevy turning into a sparkling new engine with one use, 3000 miles.

Would any synthetic had such a dramatic before and after?

Note - sorting the reviews from newest to oldest would help you find it.

Grew a cylinder too, imagine that. Plus a host of additional improvements to that engine, take a closer look.

As @GSCJR noted, it was so effective it even turned it from a V6 into a V8!

So annoyed I marked that dude's review "helpful." lol

It seems like Valvoline is very transparent with their research.

btw- I got my $5 instant rebate for R&P ...instantly. Going in the A5 Beetle very soon.

That alone would convince me. Solvent flushes don't even do that!

I wonder what motivation someone would have to post something like this? It benefits them personally in no possible way. And would likely influence unsuspecting people to buy an oil that doesn't do as the review claims. Very suspect.

Someone sent me a Link to this a while ago, and I did not know that Chevrolet made an engine with 8 Rocker Arms on 1 side and 6 Rocker Arms on the other side. The other thing that is amazing is that both cylinders look different, and they also have a different bolt pattern for the Valve Covers.

What really caught my eye 1st was the nice round corner of the bottom clean cylinder head, and the top cylinder head had a different round look. I then went to the AFR Cylinder Head Site and started counting the number of Rocker Arms on a LS cylinder head and counted 8 and then said something is wrong. I had to go the AFR Site because I could not remember how many Rocker Arms were on a LS1 cylinder head. LOL

A winner for sure, turn V6 into V8 power and clean the engine too. I'm in, and if you believe that I have a bridge and a few used cars to sell you.

One thing I’m curious about is if Valvoline is going to use a small portion of this new chemistry for the rest of the oils they sell? From a marketing perspective that would be a great move for them. As it stands now a lot of people might consider switching back to their previous oil once they have done the 4 intervals with R&P. But if they had their other synthetic products saying “featuring the restore and protect technology” on the labels it could just entice people to stick with Valvoline long term. So far it’s definitely looking like they have a popular product right out of the gate but I’m sure they would like to gain more long term customers as well. (Of course a lot of people might just stick with R&P as their regular oil going forward too)

I don't think a small portion will have a significant effect. R+educe the active part by 50% and you have to increase the non-active so might not clean at all anymore.

The Valvoline oil change place close to my house is now offering Restore and Protect, this is the first sign of it in Canada that I have seen. It’s not a bad price either, $120 for the oil change which is on par with what Mr Lube charges for it’s premium service using Edge EP.
