What can Valvoline do to top Restore and Protect?

[ZeeOSix]

I think you got your wires crossed a bit here.

@GW. was talking about "long term" use of Valvoline Restore and Protect in Euro engines. Like 5k OCIs for multiple years. As in, will there be any long term effects to Euro engines which spec Euro oils with HTHS >3.5 (among other things) when they run Valvoline Restore and Protect (API spec oil) for the long term — not "long OCI."

Well then they might also be able to run 8K-10K OCIs to achieve that "long term" usage, lol. We pretty much know what happens when Valvoline Restore and Protect is used long term from all the feedback from such users.

Maybe. That would be extra adventurous in a Euro engine.

What's really so special about Euro engines ... see post 197. Maybe "adventurous" if ran flat out on the Autobahn for miles ... then that's a matter of oil temperatures and HTHS.

Since Valvoline Restore and Protect has been their game changer, where does Valvoline go from here?

Not sure if they can top it
Guess they don't need to

You park outside in that weather? Yeesh.

-25F = -31C so pretty close

-40°C = -40°F

Now that we're seeing a Euro Valvoline Restore and Protect, ATF Valvoline Restore and Protect, and 4-stroke Valvoline Restore and Protect, it's clear this additive breakthrough can be used across multiple lubricant products and offer a benefit.

My question originally was whether it would be limited to ILSAC/GF oils. They're not opting for full approval for dexos/Euro specs to keep their additive from exposure. They also already have a dexos approved oil and European approved oil.

Yes. The Vw usually got to park in the garage when it got cold but now the new Volvo will get that priority. The diesel truck has always lived outside all year, only goes inside for maintenance.

Least its plugged in from outside, yes?

-40°C = -40°F

Regardless, its cold either us or canada

They need a additive that can do what it does but like Schaeffers 132 in a quart

Like a oil stabilizer, a quart like Lucas that does the same as Valvoline Restore and Protect. Until then, I would just use a qt of 0w40 or 5w30 Redline

Why do they need to "Top it?"
All they need to do is properly market it for maximum sales.

Block heater isn’t an option. Oil pan heater, battery blanket and maintainer
