Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30!
An oil that has been tested here on this site, with a high percentage of skeptical users that have seen great results, and non-user that have heard from others that it is just not marketing, it really works on a very very high percentage of cars/trucks. I still think Valvoline should of pushed the 4 oil change suggestion to 6, for some very problematic cars like Hyundai/Kia's that seem to need more time to see results.
Why wouldn't you want to use an oil that actually does something different then almost any other oil you would choose. All for $30 for a 5 qt jug.

If it ain't broke; Don't "fix" it.
In the end there can only be one. R&P
If it isn't burning oil than EP HM is good oil. If burning, than I'd run the VRP for 3-4k oci's. I ran EP in my 5.4l 2v Expedition and it was the quietest oil of anything I ran in it. Plus I like the added leak protection a HM oil gives you. My rationale for them both but either pick is a good oil.
Well the smooth and quiet part was the ep........Lol. If the engine is running "smooth and quiet" on a given oil, I ain't gonna change to a different oil . .02

I don't know why people wouldn't just stick with it. It doesn't need to be a "fix in a bottle". Just switch and keep running it. It's within reasonable price of your other major big store brands. I guess someone people are too cheap to spend another $4-5 on their oil change.

100% AGREE!! It is a Premium oil, it's not like it is a substandard oil. I guess it is their loss. AND 99% of the people worry about using it would never "challenge the oil's robustness" I bet 80% drive like a Grandpa. I have used it in a 23psi turbo tuner car in the cooler months/winter for 5 straight oil changes with a Hyundai no less, with no issues. Cleanest running oil I have ever ran in my car.
