You may use the Valvoline Restore and Protect fuel system cleaner, Yamalube Ring Free fuel additive or Berryman B-12 fuel injector cleaner, instead. It may work even better than a 2-stroke oil because the mixture has more gasoline anyway.
Only weight worth buying
Yes, there is no dissolving actually happening. It's chemically altering the adhesion points between particles, but not the particles themselves.
They are releasing Euro versions. It's been discussed here in depth and elsewhere as well.
It doesn't have PEA. There's no need to wait to do an oil change right afterwards.They are expanding the Restore & Protect family with ATF and fuel system/injector cleaner. Also, Valvoline Restore and Protect is awaiting its introduction to the European market. I expect the success there to be even bigger because many people overseas still drive 90s cars and 15-20 years old cars. The South American and African markets still await development.
However, people in the States drive the most. So, if you say to an European - You have to do 4 OCI per 8,000 km for a total of 32,000 km to reduce or stop your oil burning, he may say - Well, I may have sold the car by then.
Got tempted yesterday and bought one. Planning to use it in the end of my 1st or 2nd Valvoline Restore and Protect oil change.

We won't know since Valvoline is privately held by Aramco now (not technically fully private since Aramco trades on the Saudi stock exchange, but we don't have access to the same financials that we would if it were a public company in the US).
I heard somewhere that the "magic" base oil component might be something that is typically found in the cosmetics industry, just repurposed.My anecdotal experience supports this.
I would take anything you read about the special additive with a grain of salt. The reality is no one knows except Warholic.I heard somewhere that the "magic" base oil component might be something that is typically found in the cosmetics industry, just repurposed.
Maybe they were trying to reproduce the "gummy bear" smell, and happened upon this!
Duh. Just put actual gummy bears in it. Problem solved.I heard somewhere that the "magic" base oil component might be something that is typically found in the cosmetics industry, just repurposed.

We may not have numbers but we have signs/hints.
I think—yes, it is.
So, no actual numbers, just PR. Got it.
The only axe I have to grind is critical thinking - the difference between PR and actual data.
What grades is Restore & Protect™ available in?
