Valvoline Restore & Protect

[Elmo Howe]

As long as Lawn & Garden stuff goes on clearance to make room first !

True that, but now you have me wondering about " product placement ", i.e., should the " cologne " be in the men's wear section or the automotive section of Wallyworld ?

Maybe I should start up a bottling facility now, in anticipation of the Christmas rush, to have the " Essence de Mechanic" scent available in cologne and eau de perfume ?! " Pet Rock" of the 2020's ! And, of course, a generous " upcharge " for it being a "cologne " ! Discounts available, of course, for BITOGERS.

There were audio tapes for sale in France in the 90s. The tracks were named "GSXR1100 dropping three gears in tunnel X in Paris", things like that. They did sell well.

Finally collected my VRP photos for the yearlong trial.

Hope this helps. VRP CLEANS.

Thanks for that video. I’m about to change my VRP for the 3rd time and will have pics.

How many oil and filter changes? What was the oc interval?

People deal with Hyundai like that sister-in-law who always picks abusive boyfriends.

“He’s changed.”
“This one is different.”

Problem is as an overall package in the showroom at least, the Hyundai/Kia duo always look cut above the others.

This is actually only 3x OCI totaling 15k. Several extra filters though.

Thanks for sharing @Hohn. Impressive VRP can clean that level of varnish.

Thanks! Impressive.

Another example of synthetics leaving deposits with good maintenance. Not all oils are the same.

IMO R&P could be the right oil for over 90% of the drivers out there.

It's showing excellent wear control too. Hard to beat for a vast majority of cars at typical OE drain intervals. Valvoline came up with something unique.

Well in truth, it was mostly group III PP and I went a bit too long on ODI sometimes by following the OLM to 0%. I figured the OLM was calibrated to petro and I could get away with it using at least a group III. I think that was true in terms of wear, but not cleanliness. And as I've posted, I've come to believe that cleanliness is actually the more important thing in a modern engine.

VRP is the right oil at the right time for the needs of many of today's engines. IMO.

The claim is four or more are needed per their testing results. Hard to say if less will do anything or not. I imagine the effects are cumulative but not completely insignificant with less runs.

well 4 oci is interesting since mobil 1 high mileage now claims can clean in 1 oci.

Sludge NOT piston deposits.

"From the moment it starts for the very first time, critical parts of your engine begin building up harmful deposits that are nearly impossible to reverse - until now. Valvoline Restore & Protect is the first and only motor oil that prevents future deposit formation and restores pistons to factory clean by removing up to 100% of engine-killing deposits."

Maybe it can but we all have a different definition of clean. Just like the one mans trash is another mans treasure. I don't think Mobil is lying, if more crud falls out after a oil change then they might very well call that a cleaning.

All we need is Euro grade R&P!!

All we need is Euro grade R&P!!

40wt Euro grade R&P!!*

Or a 10w-40 HM option would be a great next step.

i have seen the EP HM load up a filter on a few trucks. i think it runs pretty clean and is my favorite of their oils.
