I am waiting for its 'revolutionar' claim to be tested and verified by Project Farm.
. . . We're going to test that!
@@CrowdSurfingGeezer Wish I could see when you do.
Exactly right 😆
"We're gonna test that!"
Love project farm!
My dad started using Mobil 1 in the late 80s when it came out in his new (at the time) Chevy conversion van. At 12 years and 120,000 miles it had a puff of smoke when starting up due to valve seals (service bulletin) so my dad wanted the engine replaced because my parents drove across country with it. When I pulled the engine you could practically eat off the valley because there was no sludge. You could still see the factory cross hatch in the cylinders from the hone. That made me a 100 percent believer in synthetic oils. I use Supertech synthetic from Walmart because it is cheap and GM Dexos II approved 😉👍
Personally Quaker State Full Synthetic (used to be Ultimate Durability) is better.
Valvoline has always been a top oil though and this new product looks very interesting. I think I will try it.
@@Jimster481 Quaker State a solid brand of oil, you can't go wrong with it!
@@FunWithCars716Definitely. I read 540rat blog for years, and Quaker State has come out on top, even besting Amsoil a couple times. The recent DEXOS 3 oils though are all worse than their DEXOS 2 counterparts in terms of wear protection. And they also don't seem to have higher temperature thermal breakdown.
Obviously, mobile one is also in the top oils, so it's not like you would be doing your car disservice by using it. I was just mentioning that Quaker State did test better in his testing suite, and it typically would cost less due to not being as popular.
You think super tech oil from waltmart is a good oil???
is this an AI assisted bot? can't tell anymore
The oil geek did a nice video on this as well. He had the oil tested to see the components in it. I’m giving it a shot in my car. It’s got the sulphur smell like gear oil.
Hopefully, he gives us real world results soon. I want to know if I need o make the switch for all my Toyotas
@@Hernsama Toyotas past 1985 suck, only dorks drive them.
@@bluefordpickup Toyota's from 2000s are not bad especially the "Asian" corollas and vitz
What is the viscosity of your oil? I've heard that the newer 0W-8 and 0W-16 oils have the sulfur gear oil smell, probably from extreme pressure additives.
@@Tsuter1978 I think I'm the only one that likes the smell of gear 🛢️ oil 😉. Reminds me of the smell of a shop when I was a kid 👍
Thanks for the info 👍🏻 I’ve been a firm believer/user of synthetic oils for a very long time.
I use Liqui-Moly MolyGen. Including a better breathing air intake and a mild reflash my Toyota 2ZZ-GE engine rated at 27/28 mpg gets 33/34 mpg. I am just over 5000 miles on this last change, have not burned a drop and is near perfectly clean on an 8500 rpm engine.
Liqui-Moly is trash. We're talking about Valvoline.
I also have a 2ZZ-GE engine. I run Petronas 5W 40. Change oil every 3000 miles.
The problem with owners manuals today is that people can read them but not understand them fully. They don't understand the difference between severe driving and non severe driving. Most people out there fall under the severe driving category. Which means more frequent oil changes. I personally stick to highway driving as much as possible because it's better for the engine, and transmission.
Learn something new, great video 💪🏽👍🏽
Assuming this removes deposits, is there a danger of plugging oil ducts and passages with the floaters? Seems like a risk in engines with heavy deposition.
There is, there is also a possibility of forming leaks and a possibility of seal issues.
They engineered it to be slow and steady at dissolving deposits according to an engineer on the project.
That was my first thought, but apparently it takes several oil change intervals to make a significant difference, so it works slow, wich is good.
With modern full synthetics, the old nantea of every 3,000 miles is no longer appropriate. While some owners manuals now have intervals from 7500 - 10,000 miles. I change every 5,000 and have gotten over 300,000k in an Outback and 450,000 in a Prius. My Crossfire says 10,000 intervals but I still do 5,000 intervals with no engine issues in any of my vehicles
And idiots like you cry when you have to spend money fixing your engine. Change the oil ever 3500 miles. You don't want your oil dark and dirty
Any vehicle can go unlimited distances ya throw enough parts at it. Facts.
Good video, loved the fact this guy is an Engineer, knows this subject. .... What many people might not know, is that the pistons have always been a weak spot with engine oils. They get deposits, get fouled-up, and the rings might stop working like they should. (Oils over the last 50 years have been pretty good at keeping sludge and wear down, no problem with those issues.) This is the first oil attacking piston deposits specifically, this aggressivley, removing them, where other oils just hope not to lay down as much deposits over time.
My second oil change after 1000 miles so I could cut open my oil filter. This oil WORKS no doubt. My valves and lifters are so shiny not burnt looking. Cylinder heads, spotless. Carbon so was thick on them I didn't think my boroscope was working. Now I can see metal. This time around going to let oil stay in it for full 3000, not attempting the 10,000.
Port or Direct injection?
I watched the restore and protect video on a different channel , the video was done at the warehouse and it was very impressive.. I'll definitely give it a try
What's this, an ad for competition against Valvoline Extend & Restore! You're not going to beat that oil.
Extended protection not extend and restore.
Oh man, I JUST changed the oil. Next time, if I still have this car, or for the replacement.
Be good if the youtube channel Project Farm would test this for us.
Iv giving him idea that fool never did one of them. I don't know what he's doing
I use 5w-40 Pennzoil Platinum Euro synthetic in my VW Golf MK7 1.8t with a Stage one tune and my Blackstone oil analysis have been excellent. Oil consumption is almost non-existent.
No matter what happen even regular oil as long as you change your oil every 3k miles until now im still using regular oil had 2003 accord with 365k miles and it runs like champion
That's the whole point. Change your oil frequently regardless of syn blends, full syn or mineral
Did you replace any parts on that car?
This is interesting, the mechanic we take our truck At work recommended Valvoline saying they had the best package of Additive package of any other manufacture even mobile one which I used to use a lot.I have a 2014 GMC sierra pick up with the 5.3 L multi displacement engine. It says to use 0-20 oil the mechanic recommended 5000 mile oil changes and using 5W 30 instead.
I have seen on another site that valvoline does have a great package.
I do that with my hemi with mds cyl shutdown and it runs quieter and smoother
Coach very interesting video, our three Good Year repair shops were Valvoline users. One of my older customers in the early eighties gave me a Valvoline 18k tie clasp with the logo and 100 year Valvoline anniversary from 1864 to 1964 which I still have. Valvoline has always been a good oil brand. With other oils a person needs to be mind full of the word blend, I believe it can be as low as 18% synthetic, I always recommended full synthetic for the small difference in price compared to the much better benefit especially here in Florida with the high humidity. Thanks to Mike Warholic.
Full synthetic doesn't mean 100% synthetic. It means highly refined minimum 20% synthetic. Amsoil is the only 100% synthetic oil.
I just tried Royal Purple for the first time from Mobile 1 on a 238,000 Mile 2022 Prius Prime I use to do Uber. It made a huge difference in engine noise. I'm going to do amsoil soon but I'm very happy with Royal Purple. I thought I was happy with Mobil 1. Been lifelong customer but the change in the sound of the engine is crazy. I used to get complements from passengers about how quite the engine was when it was running. That stopped around 180,000 miles. 2nd day on Royal Purple and I got a complement from a passenger at 237,000 miles.
@@cc-tb3st Actually, Amsoil is not 100% synthetic. It's a marketing term used. Ford Boss man had an oil analysis done on the Signature series and it wasn't 100% synthetic. It doesn't matter if it says full synthetic or 100% synthetic. It's just a marketing term used. I am not saying Amsoil isn't good but it costs a lot more money than the other major brands.
@@cc-tb3st I believe Amsoil which I use and Mobil 1 are the only PAO base synthetics.
Now I got a question! Was going to start using High Mileage by Valvoline or do I now go with the new brand, Restore aand Protect?
I recently switched to this oil. I have a 275hp 2 liter GDI that gets worked in spirited driving. I do maintain 3k oci and an occ.
Tk u for great information
Hello! Lauren, Steve Saleen just announced a partnership with a French company that is going to build a hydrogen combustion V6 twin turn engine for his new supercar. Also, I am back and will comment first . Hope you are doing well. Been a long time and I have lots of catching up to do with videos.
I’ll check it out. Thanks for letting me know. Hope you are well.
will try this oil, see what result are.
Just put this in a ‘12 Prius with ~125K. No oil consumption to this point but I figure why not? I honestly was surprised how good the engine sounded after the change with this compared to the oil I always had from the lube place. I’m really hoping this oil will keep the oil control ring from eventually sticking.
I’m also going to change just the oil filter in ~2K miles just in case it frees up too much gunk for the filter to handle.
Hi,
Happy to meet you online. Am Eric a mechanical engineer in Nairobi Kenya.
I like working on cars so I do a lot of research about cars. I would really love to know more about this lubricant and also if it’s possible for me to be your agent in Kenya.
Otherwise am happy for you guys
Has Valvoline publicly released the actual data/findings on the Restore and Protect formulations??
Ok to use this oil in a diesel with no DPF?
I have a 2002 chevy ZR2 and tried all the top 10 engine oils available ! The pennzoil ultra platinum so far is the best ! And $27 for a 5qrt jug and free shipping is a no brainer ! All my other vehicles get supertech every 3 to 4k and no issues whats so ever ! Im still going to try restore n protect soon !
I've been running Pennz U-P in my Altima since I bought it, I'm sitting at 205K miles and I don't have any leaks or even seepage I still cannot believe it.
I'm not sure what to do! I have been using full synthetic high mileage. My truck has 250, 000 mi on it. The oil I'm using causes the seals to swell. If I start to use this, will I start having oil leaks? Will the seals shrink? Thanks!
@@gregb.7564 i doubt they'll shrink but it's theoretically possible i guess. Worst that can probably happen is it seeps ever so slightly and u can then resume using high mile oil. Or if u want to spend a bit extra, quite a bit now at 20$/bottle, the ATP 205 is the actual chemical that causes the swelling, ie it's a true stop leak.
I'm tempted to use it. I still have five quarts of Pennzoil ultra Platinum. they say you're supposed to do it 4 times to get the full effect. my car's got 225k I'd be curious to see what it does for it
Hard to get hold of in UK. Amazon does not ship this to UK for some reason. Need a 5W 30 or 5W 40 Restore and Protect so come on Valvoline, sort it you'll male much more money.
Is this available for Harley Davidson motorcycles?
I bought 5 qts of Val R&P for my 200k 99 Camry for my next oil change. We'll see!
I'm just curious ..I wonder what the duration was of an oil change during that actual testing of the piston cleaning etc. I believe you said for oil changes… Wonder what the total amount of mileage was or hours or time etc.?🤔
See the Lake Speed Jr.'s video, they ran for hours in the lab equal to 4k, I think. Lake actually got to visit their R&D lab.
No grain no pain🎉
Will this oil help reduce valve deopsits common in Direct Injection engines?
I was wondering the same thing. I'm currently testing it out on a 2007 mini cooper S, these engines are notorious for clogging up intake valves. I've only been running the oil for about 900 miles, but I feel like I've got a bit more power. It could be that the rings are getting clean and doing a better job sealing.
@@bluefordpickup as the Valvoline guy said on the Ford guy's channel, no it won't clean valve deposits much if at all.
There is no confusion...
Lubricants are supposed to meet certain standards based on applications.
If you are a DIY oil changer, consult your owners manual and buy the proper oil. And don't forget. Your engine is equipped with a miniature oil filter that must be changed also, every time you change the oil.
My preference is every 3K-5K miles.
There are alot of videos saying full synthetic is not good for an engine,also every oil change before n after i add an ounce of Marvel Mystery oil also add to fuel it helps clean deposits for sure
nope, now solid 25 years of evidence, if not 40 years really, that synthetic cannot hurt a thing!
can i use this oil in my chevy which is gm recommending dexon1 spec ??????
Can You? Nothing is stopping ya... That said you didn't specify if your Chevy is still under warranty... If you should need any Warranty Coverage, GM might not appreciate you not using a "Recommended" Dexos rated Oil, etc...
If you read Valvoline's FAQ about Restore and Protect... They are suggesting for Users that want/need a Dexos rated Oil to use Valvoline Advanced (which is Dexos rated). Otherwise, Valvoline is claiming Restore and Protect is its best Oil option. For applications calling for API SP/GF6A and prior classifications.
For my 2014 GMC Terrain (113K miles) it is long out of Warranty... And would have been recommended to use Dexos (Gen 1, 2010-2015). While API SN+ and SP are catching up to Dexos (Gen 2 and Gen 3)... Dexos Gen 3 still has an edge on several fronts. So if you are planning to continue using the Manual's recommended Time/Miles/OLM... You may want to stay with a Dexos rated option.
Alternatively, see what your manual/dealership suggests about using non Dexos Oils. They might suggest using a specific Change Interval?
For example my Terrain's OLM "allows" 6-8K miles before it considers the Oil Life to be nearing 0% and warn to change.... But because of Fuel Dilution (5%) issues (Shorter Trips, Stop and Go, excess idling) its Oil (a 5W30, Dexos Gen3) was already "due" at just (3,000 miles/8 months) 54% Oil Life Remaining...
I'll be trying Restore and Protect in my 2003 Saturn ION (which doesn't have a Dexos requirement, just API SL or better) first, when I have a handle on my Terrain's Fuel Dilution (and have a baseline on any wear numbers I'll feel more comfortable "experimenting" with the "new" engine and not risk unforseen failures because the GM engine "needs" something specified by Dexos but not (so much) by API SP...
I hearing march 2025 new GF7
@@00D600 What is your source? Haven't found much on the subject... Been reading GF-7 was initially proposed for like 2028... API "SQ" and Dexos1 Gen 4 maybe around 2027?
@@lgoamity just look google “api oil gf7 march 2025” you search will find
It’s funny because Amsoil Lubricants have already been doing the same thing with the Signature Series as what Valvoline is catching up with
One big difference. Valvoline is API certified
Nothing beats Amsoil.
@@ChinookBear are you sure about that? What backs that up?
Vincent is correct. In fact Amsoil was a very first synthetic oil company way before mobile one was and have been leading the industry ever since there’s nothing that touches Amsoil.
You can’t even buy Amsoil in a store. You have to order it through the company itself because other brands don’t like competing with them.
How will this do with turbo ICE
I have been using Amsoil in my 2019 ram Classic HEMI 5.7 and I have 56,000 miles on it. No issues whatsoever and I have it full bolt on with a cam and MDS deleted. It runs super strong I guess it is just preference on oil.
NEVER follow your unbord monitoring system...if you wanna keep your car past your warranty...oil is cheap, motors are not.
it doesn't mitigate the carbon buildup. on the backside of intake valves of direct injected engines that don't also utilize port injection.
All you got to do is use good oil and change it every 3000 miles and your motor will last a very long time
Syn Guard !!!!!!!! 90's
Alll right !!!
Perpetual Motion In a Jug of Snake oil..
Why is Lily Tomlin telling me about engine oil? Man, she looks just like her.
Synthetics have a natural detergency, so this is not new. Are these "synthetics" API group 3 or are they actually synthetic?
We need third party testing and engine dismantling
I use motorcraft in mine and it's still purring at 225k.
Short OCI is more important than oil brand.
Will this cause hi mileage cars have seal problem
It has more to do with the age of the vehicle and not necessarily mileage.
no, it won't cause seal problems, ie leaks.
Yeah yeah, very nice; but until I see the results from independent tests I'm not a believer. Manufacturer's claims and reality are too frequently not the same thing.
We use synthetic oil exclusively and there is a difference. Switching to Restore and Protect. Check it out
Would this be good for a small engine, lawn mower, garden tractor etc.
@@CarCoachReports That's not in question; synth oil is superior to conventional oil and that has been demonstrated in test after test. What's in question is whether or not Valvoline's 'Restore and Protect' does what they claim it does. And another thing; an oil's detergent characteristics are only part of the story. I also want to see its anti-wear properties and how it holds up under high operating temperatures. I don't believe the marketing. I want to see how it performs on the ASTM test charts. Additionally; racing is a poor way to chose your motor oil. Race engines are typically rebuilt after every race. They don't have to worry about most of the things we need to be concerned about in our daily drivers and racing teams will use oil from whatever sponsor is offering the best perks.
Hi, look at the back of the label and its recommended for ford , gm. I hope Vavoline creates a euro blend for vw golf gti.
Royal purple all day long
My New Dodge Ram 2015 at 5000 miles I ask if I could go from full syn to Conventional they told me yes it did not void the 100,000 miles warranty , I had them use Conventional oil , having the oil changed on time and using a good oil is the only thing you need to do . changing oil before it is black is better then after it turns black . OIL is OIL without it the engine will wear out faster . My Engine has 180,000 miles on it and still as strong as it was in 2015.
Oil is not oil. Oil has different flash points which can create carbon deposits around the rings causing early wear in the cylinders resulting in blow-by and premature engine failure.
Oil also contains additives that serve multiple purposes. Reduce friction, clean buildup and reduce acidity and deal with contamination like fuel or soot to name a few. Friction reducers can be acidic and have low flash points so to much of the wrong type will cause wear. Detergents have the same problem.
Then you have the shape of the oil molecules. The more refined or synthetic they are the more round and uniform the oil molecules are increases lubrication properties reducing wear without potentially acidic, low flashpoint additives. This shows for more detergent and contamination additives.
So oil is oil is so wrong. If you do oil changes every 3k to 5k miles with the oil off the shelf at Wal Mart will your engine make 200k? Sure. I have multiple cars from the 90s with 300k that never had an engine problem and never saw any synthetic oil. But they also never went 5k miles without an oil change and rarely much over 3k miles. My Prius I use for Uber get an oil change the 1st of every month. Usually 8k to 12k miles. I would never do that with conventional oil.
@@cc-tb3st Without oil the Engine is Trash I use Valvoline In my Truck and Bike . Conventional . And the longer you go on the oil the more it breaks down , I rather change it at 3000 miles . Old Roughneck Crude is crude
Amsoil signature series. 'Nuff said!
This is old news for Amsoil. Yaaaawn. Amsoil has been doing this since the 70's. Valvoline might be great, but Amsoil is above and beyond excellent. I use signature series. The best synthetic oil money can buy. Change intervals all the way to 25k.
Toyota Camry engines burn oil because of poor piston design, oil rings carbon up, any proof this new oil can fix the rings that are carboned up. Would love to see them test on 2.4 Camry engine 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
many engines have ring issues these days. If u watch The Motor Oil Geek's channel, u'll learn that the formula's often do work pretty well for intended purpose, at least w/ the co's that have great rep's like Valvo does, Penzoil does, and likely Castrol does (per the nissan engineer who made the GTR's engine!)
Mobil 1 to go. No other oil can do what Mobil 1 do.
You really need to do more
Research!
Yes ok it cleans the engine which is great but how does it compare under super hot stressful conditions? Is this a basic synthetic with improved cleaning additives. Also manufacturers guidelines can be laughable as to long term oil change intervals, made expressly to make the car attractive at sale time. If you care about your engine change the oil every 6 months or 5 to 6k miles.
Lake Speed of Motor Oil Geek channel exlpains the details about synthetic and the additive packages. It's a bit tricky, but oils at this level, ie Valvo or Penzoil or likely Castrol as well, have performed extraordinarily well in various ppl's engine oil analysis based 'testing'
But does it provide mechanical film protection past, oh... 85,000 psi? Look, the IVA and IVB astm tests are... almost a joke.. Take a traditional flat tappet cam: on an inspection plate, about 0.0016" lobe taper give or take vs centerline. Allowable wear to pass being under 0.003"...means epic fail is well in motion using a certified product and everybody wonders what the hell happened.
Looks like it costs $30 at WM for a 5qt jug. I think most synthetic oils clean better.
The high mileage Walmart brand oil (Super Tech) has been tested by multiple channels and found to be just as good as the big brands. Before the world got stupid I could do a 5 qt full synthetic oil change with one of the highly tested Super Tech oil filters for $25. Would cost me $75 at a local oil change place. My first job was at Jiffy Lube 28 years ago and it was about $25 back then.
I put this in my car 2 days ago, based on science, not speculation.
Please do not say this oil is having "repair' capability. Using the words restore & protect is more credible. BTW what is the special ingredient that this oil has which empowered it with such cleaning capability?.
Does Valvoline intends or going to produce a cleaner for fuel injectors?.
🤔👍👍👍👍.
Regards.
Amsoil or Penzoil...period
Penzoil dramatically better pricing to say the least! Plus i used Amsoil for quite a while in my 4.0 Cherokee and it thickened dramtically, first time ever saw that in any engine! unbelievable and very bad indicator of oil quality!!!! And my Cherokee had easy life!
Its all the same within.00003 percent.😮
Yeah.... It also goes through my car faster. Not sure....,,, whhhyyy
Valvoline commercial!
It’s an interview.
@@CarCoachReportsdefinitely a marketing stunt. Shell, Motul and Total have been doing this for years, Shell helix ultra is a top notch oil, therefore you don't hear bells and whistles . Even with semi synthetic oils and an annual drain, engines will still remain clean
@@danteerskine7678 it's more complex now in recent years, re remaining clean: depends on which type engine u have, ie GDI or port or both, and turbo vs nonturbo, etc. The channel called Motor Oil Geek gets into the details, from an actual engineering angle, by a Tribologist, ie oil formula engineer. The quality of some oils has risen a lot in just recent years, i'ts pretty fascinating and stunning actually, to my surprise. Penzoil does really well so far. This one too. I think Castrol is always a very good bet bcuz of its record and the price/value of it (the Nissan engineer who designed the Nissan GTR engine and car mentioned that fact about Castrol brand and he had no incentive financially).
I don’t believe this is not true I used Castrol is the best my car is 180000😂 and still running like a champ.
My 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis has over 313,000 miles, all original, I like Castrol 20w50 (in Florida) and it’s still my daily driver, never broke down, always brought me back home.
Not all oils are the same - full synthetic oil is still the best option.
Castrol is mid. It works fine for a synthetic but it's a normal oil. Imo you can't compare Castrol to penzoil, amsoil, Valvoline
@@thelegendarywasdgamer9724 I’ve never used those 3 that you mentioned, it seems my original motor didn’t need them with over 313,000 miles and it’s still my daily driver (30 years old) 😊 take care.
@@Hobok92575 I guess stick with what works
When it comes to the name brand oils, they are ALL the same. Doesn't matter which brand you choose. Obviously synthetic and conventional oils are different, but all name brand synthetics are the same and all name brand conventionals are the same. As long as you don't go with the cheapest no-name oil, your fine. You'll never see a difference by choosing Mobile 1 vs Penzoil or Castrol or Amsoil, etc.
that was increasingly true over time ,until later years and now a real separation is happening for complex reasons. Watch Motor Oil Geek if u want to understand a bit about why. He's an actual Tribologist ,ie oil formula engineer and he's a really good communicator and thinker. Oil testing has made it possible to see differences that we couldn't see in the past. The Penzoil platinum and ultra platinum have really been incredible.
@18_rabbit Yeah, after posting that, I started watching more and more videos about this, and I must admit I was wrong. Things have changed.
Change your oil and filter every 5000 miles. Car manufacturers only want to get you through the warranty. Changing your oil at 10000 miles will shorten the life of your engine. OEMs suggestions are bullshit. Remember oil and filters are cheap engines are not.
yep AND if u sell your car on mkt, u'll get much more for it or sell it lighting fast if u changed oil more frequently and have some documentation of that fact.
Don't listen to the oil companies. This oil company want you to pay more for engine. Listen to your dealer.
The dealer is only worried about getting you past the warranty. Do not listen to the dealership if you own your car or plan on keeping it past the warranty.
the most ignorant comment ever! The oil co's make the oil that the car co's give specifications re!! They work together!! Your ignorance is so ridiculous, it's ugly!!!!!
a lot of talking and 0 proof that is cleaning or doing anything "special" i dont care what is said on the bottle i need resultats im a simple man
A salesman espousing a marketing department's 100% unadulterated smoke & mirrors. Most modern synthetic lubricating oils today can do what he's claiming. The only thing I see as a possible plus is the price point.
I'll bet its got some dead snake bits inside it ! 🐍
All oil contain detergents, even basic mineral, but this is a bit different. There might be some other that will do the same, but it's not the regular cleaning provided by most oils. 🙂
I am sure it has some esters...which are naturally detergent with out having much detergent...
as actual Tribologist on Motor Oil Geek's channel talks about and educates ppl about, its' pretty complex engineering these days in oil formulation. He's pretty impressed w/ the Valvoline co and is going to test this oil soon on his high mile car.
This guy's body language comes off pretty smug to me. Hope he shaves his head with Valvoline !
He seems afraid of her.
Best advice to remember is to change your oil. No oil is good for 10,000 miles no matter what it says on the bottle.
Fact.
Plenty of people have now tested that and found different results. Even conventional oil lasts a lot longer than advertised but these conventional oils can absolutely last as long as advertised. It also depends on your engine. These smaller engines that run hotter these days tend to burn and foul oil quicker.

Happy Motoring 😊
I own Toyota Avalon Limited 2015. I have 140K on it and use 0x20 synthetic oil. I change the oil. Use Mobil 1 and change every 5K no exception. I never have ANY problem, I don't loose oil and run Better then the new one. Don't go by what say in the bottle.
Psst! Pssst! Hey! Save your money and instead, just change your oil every 3000 miles. Your engine will clean itself. Save you money in the long run. Use cheap oil when you change. Fresh oil is what you want to have your motor last a long time.
Listening to a woman talk about cars is just weird.
Well then keep your mouth shut
This lady really knows a lot about cars.
It's not weird to me. I love it. It's hot!
@@clfaraci You've succumbed to feminism then. I'm sorry my friend.
@@Ilikeryche I don't think so.
Old engines shouldn’t use any synthetic oil.. unless you want leaks all over it.. tge rubber compounds of seals etc.. aren’t adequate to the smaller molecules in the synthetic.. 96& up motors are the proper applications for synthetic oils.. but earlier then that.. I recommend never put that crap in our old stuff…
that's not what ppl have been experiencing actually! Most mechanics do not see that at all. They can burn more of the synthetic though, some synthetics that is. It's complex topic re burning though, depends on brand.
Cough cough Bullshit cough cough
Worthless Video trying to promote their oil. The quality of all engine oils must reflect Lubricity, Longevity and Additives. The age of the vehicle, type of engine design, engine metal composition, percentage of oil additives used, severe or high performance use and quality of oil filters, all reflect the true value of any engine oil. This garbage video does not identify any of the aforementioned !
