5w20 Valvoline Restore and Protect Blackstone Lab and Lake Speed Virgin Oil Labs Back

[larry]

Lakes channel is great. You can’t argue with his science and the man has the experience to back it up.

[robertmceuen]

I like your channel, lakes channel and project farm. All have great information if you care about your vehicle.

You looked at my filter that had 10, 000. You noted you didn't like it but couldn't argue that I should change since the lab results were also good. But I also was doing 100 miles a day with most of it freeway. So it does depend a lot on the type of driving you do.

I just started using the Valvoline Restore and Protect on my 2010 Sierra 5.3 with just over 100k miles on it. I wish I had taken some pics or a video of the internal portions of the engine before I did the oil change so I'd have something to compare. But I will definitely do it this coming change.

The directions on the bottle say that the best results will be seen after three oil changes.

I just watched this video that explained the science behind this product, and I am not ashamed to say that I spent my money on this oil and that I will continue to do so.

I just hope this helps with the DOD- AFM lifter oil passages.

using the Valvoline Restore and Protect in a Honda J series with the faulty stuck piston rings. So far it has slowed the oil consumption about 1k miles on the fresh fill. Previous brands i would just top off because the rate it would eat it.

Hey there automototive ppl this oil advice sure helps me make a educated decision 5 cars and motorcycles.

[nicolem.]

Really wanted to see this report.. Valvoline is undoubtedly good stuff. But I can’t see anything outstanding in the recipe that would indicate that it is a super cleaner. Really interested to see some real world results.

Thanks for sharing this Rich. I just recently switched to Valvoline Advanced Synthetic 5W-30 in my car from Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30. We'll so how she does. So far, so good.

[kerrylewis]

I hope the oil is as good as the marketing. The name of the oil and its claims immediately caught my attention. I just purchased a 12-quart box of 5W-30 VALVOLINE FULL SYNTHETIC HIGH MILEAGE WITH MAXLIFE TECHNOLOGY for the V8 in my 2016 F One Shitty. I'd also like to know more about the FL820 filter instead of the FL500

Thank you Rich. I let the entire commercials play out, hope it helps a little :)

Lake just released a video on the Restore and Protect Valvoline that you will find informative.

[GregoryGlessnerViolin]

I have a Toyota 1MZ-FE and a Chevy 4.3 Vortec both running very happily on Valvoline Advanced full synthetic. Thanks for cutting through the marketing hype! With your info, I know I'm putting good stuff in my engines 👍

Thanks, Rich, for your interest in this oil and your opinions regarding it. I'm considering using it for 12k miles over 4 oil changes to clean out my engine and then going to a good long-term oil afterward.

My experience with oil degradation over mileage is that it isn't linear, in the sense that the change in the oil from 0 to 1k miles isn't the same as from 2k miles to 3k miles. My simple oil analysis protocol was to take a drop of hot oil from the dipstick at 500 mile intervals onto a clean white paper towel to see the history of the color change. On my engine, a Nissan VQ37VHR, I noticed a significant darkening beginning at about the 2000 mile to 2500 mile point and the beginning of a slight valve chatter at a hot idle, suggestive of a shearing of the hot viscosity down from a 5W-30 to a 5W-20.

So, I made 2500 miles my oil change interval with the Nissan ester oil I had been using, vs Nissan's recommended 3700 miles for this oil in this engine. I'm now experimenting with Redline 5W-30 and waiting for a UOA on it at 3k miles in the engine. Previously, I had run a UOA with Motul 300V 5w-40 over 3k miles and found the results excellent, except for an abnormally high level of iron, 70 ppm, in the oil. My hope is that Redline's higher levels of Zinc and Phosphorus will better protect the iron components within my engine.

Trying to decide between this oil or Pennzoil ultra platinum for my 5.0 f150

[mattwaters]

Great video. Will use this on my next oil change for my 5.4 ltr 3v F250. 86.000 mil. (2008)

[kayakkevin]

Finally! I just put the 5w-30 in my VW Atlas VR6. I hope it does some cleaning.

Oxidation 78 for Amsoil SS at 11 months and 12k miles! 2020 Cherokee v6. Metals weren’t high, but damn! Speed did the test, Amsoil pointed to my use case and said see what TBN is next time. F that! Pennzoil went back in and it’ll get changed at no more than 5k miles. I’ve used Amsoil since the early 80’s too. All my engines have gone 200k+ miles, but now the trust is gone! Did something change, or did I just get lucky over the last 40+ years?

[heavydhit]

Any experience or concerns with the restore and protect clogging oil filters with the deposits it removes. I have a 15 5.0 F150 with 55k miles on it. I have been running 5-8k intervals on oil with advise from blackstone. Gonna send a sample of my current oil to speed diagnotix to see what they have to say with oxidation of my oil. Great info.

Listen to all motor oil geeks videos on chemistry and oil basics. Looking strictly at an amount of an additive (moly) doesn't mean anything. It is the synergistic effect of the base oil types and how the additives work together.

Im bout to drive my ford focus up there to Illinois.
I need a lot of work done on my shit...lol.
