Which valvoline ????

[tired]

I drive 160 miles a day in my Civic so even 10k comes up fast. And since it’s driven gently on the highway I probably could go even longer than 10k.

Wow. I can't imagine. I drive 60 miles sometimes on the weekends for a hobby, and that feels too far!

I drive 108 miles round trip everyday. After doing it for years, it only seems like 30 minutes. LOL.

My 80 mile drive home from Niagara Falls doesn’t usually feel that long, except on days like today when it takes 2 1/2 hours

Valvoline 5w-30 EP is a fine oil to consider.

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.

I have a 2017 Sonata 2.4L DI Theta 2 (59K miles) ans a 2021 Seltos 2.0L MFI Nu (79K miles) that are on their 1st & 2nd OCI of Brp 5W30 . Both vehicles had 3,500 to 4,000 miles OCI’s using mostly M1 5W30 EP , so I am hoping to have top cleaning results a little sooner than 6 VRP oil changes . No matter , VRP not only cleans but also is great at preventing wear so I plan to continue using VRP full time at OCI’s <5K miles / 6 months .

I'd argue you should skip it. Consider Glenda's experience. Why buy it when you could just run VRP?? Even Valvoline says it's their top of the line formula.

Choosing between the extended protection high mileage 5w30 and the restore and protect 5w30.......... I've been running the ephm in my ram 1500 hemi for a few 4k oci and the motor loves it ......super smooth and quiet .... this restore and protect has me curious ... . Opinions ??? I've seen all the videos and voa/uoa ......

Valvoline EPHM 5w30 or Reatore and Protect 5w30

Could it be because you’re…. tired?

Very possible!! Always tired!

I was thinking of my 105 mi one way trip, not the 60 miler round trip. I can do 30 miles. I get so bored driving 100 miles though. I'm not quite that wimpy that a 30 mile drive is too heavy of a lift.

The long drives are definitely more fun in the Vette and I usually make it to Niagara Falls about 15 minutes faster for some reason compared to when I take the Civic

Will Valvoline water down Restore and protect? Many wonder

I don’t think that’s a concern at all. Why would they? It has been a huge success for them and so why risk losing customers?

Remember years ago German Castrol (green color ) 0w30 was great and had all the glory then boom they changed it up
