I’m kinda in the same boat. I was going to run VRP next in the Toyota but I think I’ll just use up the two jugs of PP I have on hand first. Then I might stick with the VRP for a while and see where it goes. Not sure yet.

When did it start to burn oil?
Maybe. Worth a shot IMO. It has already shown it cleans well.

I've got an oil change coming up, and I'm going to give this product a try. Toyota Sienna with 270K miles and using about a quart per 5k miles at this point. Should be a good test to see what it can do.
I don't think a 2022/23 Honda with 5k PUP OCI will have anything of note to clean at all.
Here’s my update after just 588 miles. A black sludge-like smudge appears to have faded away!
You're probably right.

For one thing - does not appear to be going away as some here predicted

I recall at least one person here saying that they thought it would be in the clearance section of Walmart really fast. I never thought that myself. I think they have a winner on their hands, a lot of people have reported that it’s hard to find in stock so I think Valvoline themselves didn’t even expect it to sell as well as it has so far.
I wish they'd offer it in a 5W40, I'd give it a try in my 88 E-150. For no other reason than to try it.

I never did either bcs those that failed priced them too high for the box store crowds …
(some were high PAO, cost more to formulate)

Yes, couple drops - still not selling - once on clearance - I gathered 23 jugs of the 70% PAO and only ran out a year ago.

Yeah the car is only at 27k miles and I used M1 0w-20 for the first 25k and switched to M1 EP 5w-30. Maybe less of a need to restore but more to protect, but then again I don’t have any hesitation using M1.
Might shorten the OCI a bit since winter is coming
Hi everyone, first post here so bear with me …
Much has been said about the YouTube video by LSJr. on his field trip to the Valvoline test lab and how Valvoline were concerned about the possibility of VRP going to good a job too quickly and causing the filter to become clogged.
The FAQ for VRP now says deposits are dissolved and held in suspension until the oil is drained and I quote -
“There is no impact to the performance or longevity of the oil filter.”

I’d say that changes things.
What say you?

Yeah, unfortunately people can't read. It poses no threat to the oil filter.
Nice to see you took the time to actually read what they say.
