Which Valvoline product?

[snowdust]

I just picked up a new 2025 Ram 1500 with a Hemi 5.7, I'd like to convert the truck to Valvoline synthetic oil but Im noticing there are a few choices available, Valvoline Advanced, Valvoline EP and Valvoline Restore and Protect, Is there a big difference between these 3 oils ?? I'm looking at 5000-7000 mile oil change intervals, Any recommendations from this very knowledgeable forum is very welcome ..

R&P is Valvoline's top offering and it works as advertised.

Congrats to you and the new truck! Details (color, interior, options...always appreciated) please.
Why'd you pick Valvoline?

Nice truck! I’ve always used Valvoline Advanced in my 2017 GMC with a 5,500 mile interval. 113k and no issues.

How did you get a 5.7 Hemi in a 2025 Ram 1500? I thought the hemi wasn’t coming back until the 2026 model year.

I’d use the EP; has a lot more moly (300+ppm) than the other varieties. High moly ‘should’ reduce wear on a new engine from the start.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Valvoline synthetic engine oils with reasonable OCI. Judging by the low aluminum and iron numbers on the UOA posted here on Bobistheoilguy. As far as Valvoline Restore and Protect can't go wrong there with it's infused pixie dust.
