You need to run the oil continuous for 4 oil changes. It’s designed that way so it doesn’t clog the filter.
Exactly! I covered that in my first video as well as this video ;)
Good to know ! So far it's going through like a siv
Thank you. Just put it in my 5.3
@@marcell5055 good luck !!!!!
I cannot afford 12 bucks every couple weeks
Lake Speed Jr has a great in depth look at Valvoline Restore. I am bias as my Dad had one job after college and it was with Valvoline....but Mr Speed does not take sides. Thanks
I’ve had a ton of comments about his video. I wish that video would have shown more progress toward a 100% clean piston. My test is real world. Once I replace the transmission in my truck I’ll continue with progress updates
Nice Mustang, and impressive results.
Thanks! 👍
Great video! I'll be switching to this oil on my next oil change. Toyota told me they found no external leaks on my 2012 Camry, 4 cyl, AFRE engine (a known oil burner, even with routine 5K oil service) and I need an engine rebuild. The car runs well, I have 200K on it and I just keep an eye on the oil level for now. From looking at various channels the consensus I get is crudded, carbon seized oil control rings, allowing oil into the combustion chamber. Also, I commend you because most channels do not respond to viewer comments and I see you try to.
thank you for your comment, I do try to answer all comments sent to my channel... I'd say I'm a 98% response rate ;) I hope I continue to see a reduction in oil consumption and piston slap. Right now the truck is down while I rebuild the transmission. Stay tuned!
I've been using it on our 2015 chevy equinox with the terrible 2.4. Based on how the filter looked its definitely cleaning up some carbon. I'll probably start using it on my mom's 2012 camry to prevent any problems, hopefully. Though it's only got about 30,000 miles on it
@@smallish_mk3733 best time to start using an oil like this is early in the engine's life, to prevent the build-up. I just hope their claims are true, but then again, I've already seen a reduction in oil consumption.
@DrivingIntelligence her camry doesn't consume any measurable amount but our equinox burns a fair amount. I usually have to add a qt at about 2,000 miles doing 3k intervals. Long highway drives, it burns even more. So, hopefully, it slows the consumption
@@smallish_mk3733 a quart every 2k miles isn't that bad... but it is worth a try!
Definitely going to give this a shot, also gorgeous fleet. All well taken care of!
Thank you!
Gonna try this on my wife's 200k mile hyundai that uses a quart every 1k miles.
If you do, please leave comments on my channel about your results
I’m curious as well.
Hey that's good !!! Mine has 80,000 and it uses at least that ! So far it has burnt MORE with this restore & protect
@@bob-pr8ye wow, that's odd... are you leaking oil?
@@DrivingIntelligence nope...... It just burns it. These stupid GDI engines. I'll never buy another. Pretty sure it won't see 150,000 ........ Everyone I know that has one does that. I could change PCV. THAT may help
Valvoline is the best of the best you can get for your engine !
Are you "THE" Scotty Kilmer?! ;)
Sweet garage
Thx!
Sweet SVO!
I missed an opportunity to buy one back in the early 90s. I kick myself all the time for that mistake.
Thank you!
They are rare, but there are some for sale
I just bought my first 5qt. jug of Valvoline R&P for my 1999 Camry 4 cyl w/ 200k. I had been using Pennzoil Natural Gas High Mileage which my engine really loves (compared to the Walmart synthetic I had begun using- but got a big puff of smoke at morning start-up. This suggested valve seal wear, however, the smoke mostly stopped with the Pennzoil). My engine uses about a 3/4 qt every 600-800 miles I'd say. Can't wait to see if this burning slows down over the next 20K miles with this Valvoline.
Thanks for checking in. Does your engine blow blue smoke at initial start? That does indicate worn valve seals. And does it smoke when you're at high rpm in gear and let your foot off the gas? That also indicates valve seals. I don't see how the oil will make a difference with valve seal issues. It might be the color of the smoke between the Walmart & Pennzoil brands is what you're observing.
I am gonna try using this oil im my Honda Accord 2012 with 200K miles on it. I don't understand why everybody says about 4 oil changes. According to the recent video from Lake Speed Jr. at the Valvoline Test Lab, this oil already cleaned pistons significantly after 4K miles/90 hrs of use. So, you also noticed a significant drop in oil consumption after all, right. It leads me to thinking that this oil could have cleaned the area under the piston rings thus restoring the rings flexibility that eventually led to reduced oil consumption. I will definitely try it my next oil change. Really looking forward to see more updates from you regarding its performance. Thanks
The "4 oil changes" claim is from Valvoline. They make the claim that after 4 oil changes, pistons will be returned to factory cleanliness. Your thinking is my thinking... my oil consumption is down, hopefully because the rings are now free to move and expand within the ring lands. My truck is out of commission with a transmission rebuild, but once back on the road, I'll continue to report my use of this oil. With regard to Lake Speed's video, I was not completely impressed. They should have shown piston improvement as claimed by Valvoline. They only showed a piston that has some removal of build-up. Lost opportunity with that video.
@@DrivingIntelligence Well, I truly hope this oil in your case will do what you expect it to do. As for me, I will be more than happy if this oil provides the results in short term they showed in that video. In the end it is just an oil. It is not a specific remedy like those Mystery Marvel Oil and others from that snake oils group. Usually motor oils provide and maintain cleanliness but do not clean prior dirt build up that well. This seems like does. We will see later I guess. Best of luck and keep us updated please. Thanks.
What a nice garage sir! Id stay out there all the time if i had a garage like that lol.
Lol, thank you. I love it, especially since I added HVAC!
@@DrivingIntelligence one day, if I get my act together I'll have a garage house. As in my garage is also my house.
@@vermontvermont9292 it's funny you mention that... I originally was going to build an apartment on top of a 4-car garage here in SC while I lived in California, but decided to move back east and have just this home, so it expanded! ;) patience and hard work will deliver! Took many years for me to get to this place. :)
@@DrivingIntelligence well I'm glad you made it out of Cali, and have some great content here for all of us on CZcams. Thank you.
@vermontvermont9292 and thank you for your patronage
Valvoline restore & protect is designed to gently clean over time. This is to avoid plugging the oil filter. You should watch lake speed jrs tour of their engine testing facility where they explain the characteristics of this truly one of a kind engine oil 👍🏻
I saw his video, but I wasn’t impressed with their demonstration of Pistons being cleaned. I think they could’ve done a better job, however, that doesn’t keep me from trying the product and as I note in the video, I've experienced reduced oil consumption which may be due to reduced ring deposits.
@@DrivingIntelligence Again it takes time. There is no other oil other than HPL which isn’t mainstream (boutique oil blender) that offers an oil that actually progressively cleans pistons (a very hard task even for dedicated flushes and the like). I have a lot of experience with all of these products as I rebuild engines and am a heavy line tech. I have zero allegiance to one company over another. Valvoline really did a great job with this product. But again, one oil change isn’t gonna cut it. Same goes with HPL, which is also a very good American 🇺🇸 blender. Theirs comes in quarts and isn’t a dedicated oil like Valvolines product.
If you want the best flush try BG EPR. It’s truly in a class of its own.
I've tried BGR once and didn't see results. As noted in this video, I am seeing reduced oil consumption. Thanks for your input, drop more comments if you have more to contribute.
@@DrivingIntelligence I’ve found that running BG EPR twice as long when the engine is hot is the key to success. I have used it on countless LS motors with lifter tick and the results speak for themselves. However those trucks typically were abused and get 2-3 treatments of BG EPR followed by Mobil 1 0w-40 which can do some very light cleaning. Good to hear you are seeing some results with Valvoline Restore & Protect. Waiting is the hardest part.
last time I changed the oil, I used Pennzoil ultra Platinum. I still have another five quarts of it. I guess I'll wait
Pennzoil is my other go to oil
Looks like a great restore going on. Ford didn't have a watercooled center bearing, did you do anything about that?
That’s a great question, actually the 85 1/2 and 86 Mustang SVO did have a water cooled center bearing. I converted to that many years ago.
I kinda want to run this oil next time I need to change my oil
For me I’m pleasantly surprised, but time will tell
I'll keep using this oil for several thousand miles with more updates coming.
Its not a one time fix thing. The oil is made so it cleans at a certain rate to not overwhelm the filter. So full effect will come after longer use.
Check out lake speed jrs newest video where he visits valvoline to talk about that oil
@@magnusdanielsson2749 I just saw that video this morning. I need this oil!!
I plan to use Valvoline restore & protect on my 03 Silverado 4.3 V6 with about 90k miles. I drive it 1,000 miles a year, so it might take several years for me to see an improvement. Truck was neglected and developed sludge, when oil pan was removed...it looked like a perfect mold of jello.
You can tell that engine has been well taken care of that engine bay looks great
Thanks, I’m pretty anal about my vehicle maintenance. That’s why they always last four years and miles.
Thanks for update results with Valvoline restore & protect Good video with various hits. I have a KIA which uses multi OIL qts between oil changes. ONLY has 69K miles. OIL use started before 50K. It is now waiting result of the 2nd piston soak! I was expecting a new engine after the 1st piston soak >>FAIL. I had transitioned to TOP TIER gas, done EPR 109 engine flushes had top end BG cleaning at 30k and 50K. Told the dealer to fill with Valvoline R & P oil 5W30 after 2nd piston soak. I do a couple REDLINE WOT sprints each day.. For any with same problem... EPR engine flush or do Yamalube ring free shock treatment. Do piston soak with Berryman's B-12 with multi days of moving pistons & refills. Spray Amsoil power foam in intake manifold. or CRC stuff.. Results will depend on how much mileage and carbon is there.After fixing , I am going to 3k changes
Good info, thanks. Seems some engines are more likely to develop blow-by than others.
@@DrivingIntelligence Mazda engineers designed their engines to counter GDI oil crap issues
@bobreese4807 two fuel injectors per cylinder?
@@DrivingIntelligence I don't think so and I know Toyota has 2 injectors /cylinder. It has something to do with high compression ration and/or high heat to constantly burn off carbon.Mazda says it engineered the skyactiv engines to keep the temperatures on the intake valves higher than other DI engines, which prevents carbon accumulation. Given the lack of buildup issues, it seems like it's working to a large extent.
Interesting. I have a Toyota Matrix 1zzfe with 270k miles burns 1 quart in 1300 miles. Although it is not due for a change, I will try this oil with a new oil filter and see how it goes.
Hopefully it works, but you might need to be patient since it could take up to four oil change cycles. Keep in touch and let me know what happens.
@@DrivingIntelligence Got one at walmart with a toyota filter. These engines are known for clogging the piston return ports with hard carbonized sludge due to poor design so it might take more than 4 cycles. Will definitely update you if I get any improvement.
Thanks and good luck.
Very interesting. Maybe Valvoline did make something new after all.
Hopefully I continue to see positive results
I have had fuel pumps make noise and ran Marvel Mystery oil or Lucas and had it go away
good info... thank you, I'll try that. The car is parked far too much and as you probably know, cars don't like to sit idle. How much Mystery Oil did you pour in the tank?
@DrivingIntelligence I belive it is 4 ounces for 10 gallons. The bottle has to ratios.
@@edbeck8925 thx, I'll check it out.
You need to run a bore scope down the combustion chamber and inspect for scored cyl walls. Usually, piston slap is to much wear.
But not always
But not always
Keep this also in mind for the first go-around with this oil, per Lake Speed Jr. (The Motor Oil Geek), " switching brands can cause a change in effectiveness temporarily. This is due to the mixing of the different chemistries.".
Thanks for your input
When was the last time you replace pcv valve, might be oil being push out the seals?
I use an oil catch can and if I had a PCV problem, I'd see it with the can. The PCV is in good working order as I've also inspected the unit.
According to the Valvoline site, it should clean it. However it does say you're supposed to run it for four consecutive oil changes to get the maximum cleaning. That they show in the advertisement😅
Yep! I cover that in the video! ;)
@@DrivingIntelligence are you going to? With follow up videos? I'd really like to run it in my vehicles.
I will be doing follow up videos after I replace the transmission.
Great video I’m gonna be honest, my oil change is coming up and I do plan on using this but one thing is, can I continue using the restore and protect oil for every change or can i can go back to using my normal oil I use (Valvoline high mileage oil)
To be honest, once I'm finished with this test I'm returning to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum synthetic... you can switch back and forth, but Valvoline says it takes 4 oil changes to get the full benefit of the Restore & Protect Product.
@@DrivingIntelligence Roger that but overall great video and I love your mustang 😎
Thank you! One of these days I’m gonna get it back together complete. Right now, I am focused on the F150 transmission.
@@DrivingIntelligence your welcome and good luck 😉
@@DrivingIntelligenceIf you don't mind me asking, do you think your engine runs better with Pennzoil ultra Platinum versus the Valvoline, restore and protect?
Have you noticed any internal cleaning?
I've not taken the engine apart. If you check my Timing Chain Video Series, you'll see my engine was very clean likely due to my previous use of Royal Purple Oil. If I ever get into the engine, I will surely share what it looks like inside.
Original Ecoboost?
some say yes!
Other update from the oil valvoline?
None at the moment, truck is out of commission while I rebuild the tranny. Stay tuned.
Im here looking to see if guys run this in there flat tappets! I want to run this in my 2.8 s10 but want to make sure i can run a synthetic in my ol girl, i really like the cleaning propertys of this oil but am afraid of not having zddp protection that conveniental oils have. From what i have found synthetic may be just fine for older engins!?
best answer will come directly from Valvoline Technical Support. I'd look up there number on the internet and give them a call.
If you find any info report back please. Im in the same boat as you with my 06 colorado that has 280k on regular oil. Thanks
What year is your S10? I'm no expert on those specifically, but I would expect that the valve spring pressures on an old American truck engine are low enough to be a non issue.
Also, unless you specifically buy a high ZDDP oil, most conventional oils don't have any more ZDDP than synthetic oils. The API limits the ZDDP that can be in any 30 grade or thinner oils with an SM approval or later to ~800 PPM. 40 grade and thicker is allowed to have more, but that doesn't mean it actually will.
Instead of denting your tubing. Why didn't you just get a slightly smaller V-belt
that is an excellent question. I searched high and wide to find a belt that would fit and prevent impact, couldn't find anything. But truth be told, the tolerances of the design were too tight anyway.
@@DrivingIntelligence I figured as much.
Sweet little pony.
Fix the truck.
Do the Valvoline.
But replace 1 quart with Nitro -70 wt..oil. Kendall -Lucas - what's
available.Your welcome.
I guess that stuff increases viscosity?
But is it better than Amsoil Signature Series?
can't answer that question. I started using this oil because of their rather large claims.
@@DrivingIntelligence I'm eager to try out this oil. I normally use Penzoil Ultra Platnium.
I don’t think it can hurt, and I have seen improvement as I mentioned in my videos
@@DrivingIntelligence so I had to replace my driver side valve cover and had some very light build up. So I did an oil change using this oil. So far so good. I noticed a slight quietness to my engine as well. From my understanding doing some more reading, apparently you have to do multiple oil changes using this oil to really see the benefits. Reading a lot of comments, it's getting some really good reviews.
not srprIsd, it would probly just clean out the piston slap area &/or make it appear or even B, worse👋😐
Not surprised about what my friend?
about that it could reveal &/or strengthen a hidden valve slap by removing sludge?, I’m gSCng that is🤔 IdOnO😑.. btw. Iv Bn atMpTng to nag hUevr might know about a comparison BtwEn Val. restore&protect & pNzOil platNM ultra.. NE gStMates?
Ok..This is not going to help "piston slap"...The clearance issue piston/ rings/cylinder walls from cold/operating temp..Rebuild/machining..Heres a classic I would use..Engine Restorer CSL(Copper-Silver-Lead) It fiils in rings/ bearings/guides..Valvoline is just rehashing with additives from competitors....
Can you please cite your studies and experience that leads you to this conclusion? Just to help you see possibilities, I did an Internet search and this came up at the top:
“Can piston rings cause piston slap?
Several factors can contribute to the development of piston slap in vehicles. These include: Excessive wear or damage to piston rings. Incorrect piston-to-cylinder wall clearance.”
oil wont get rid of pisten slap never ever
Please cite your scientific background and key studies that support your conclusion.
Looks like you have a Rube Goldberg car buddy, Fixing one thing leads to another problem.
