Valvoline Restore & Protect Full Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil 5 Quart

This oil does exactly what Valvoline says it does. Ring packs slowly become cleansed of carbon and the rings finally loosen up and operate as designed thus greatly reducing oil consumption. After using this oil for two cycles I switched to a more expensive syn oil and found that I lost fuel efficiency and general drivability. So I switched back to VRP and my Infiniti FX45 is running like a Swiss watch with improved mpg. VRP might just be the greatest engine oil ever formulated. I truly believe Valvoline should establish this oil formula as their base-line product and build upon it.

I've used this in a 2016 Hyundai 1.6 turbo motor that had pretty bad sludge buildup from years of short-distance driving. I've performed 2x 3K mile oil changes and can already see a huge difference. My dipstick and oil fill port both had quite a bit of oil sludge scale on them before, and they are almost completely clean. I dropped the oilpan at the last oil change and can see that the bottom end is also looking much better than when I started (at this time I inspected it with a borescope). Not related to the oil itself, but the Hyundai oil pan is designed by buffoons.. the way the drain hole is placed, the pan easily holds 1/2 quart of dirty oil that cannot be drained.

Really. Really. Good stuff. I maintain a fleet of 3 vehicles that are daily drivers. All with over 150,000 miles. This stuff has them running so good. A 2005 Lexus ES330 with 159k, a 2013 Subaru Legacy 3.6 with 157k, and best of all my 2017 Lexus GX460 with 178k. It has all 3 running like butter and greatly helped the 20 year old Lexus.

Highly rated oil, great value for a great oil.

On my 2nd oil change with this for my 03 Camry 2.4. I am not the original owner, so those before me did not do good with scheduled maintenance, which is causing oil burning with fuel diluation. A few things I noticed after a couple hundred miles on the 1st oil change: - Quieter engine - Oil not getting dark like previously - Reduced oil burning, which lead to less top-offs when driving. After reaching 3000 miles, I did my oil change. The oil wasn't as dark like previous oil changes, but I did notice I did not have to frequently top-off the oil like before. I am going to continue using this to see how much improvements it can make. So far, I am impressed.

This oil is going to disrupt the car oil market. Many will try to imitate it as we go.

Like many I was skeptical about the claims. I have a 2011 GMC truck with a 5.3, and 110k miles. It's been well taken care of, nothing but Mobil 1 oil, Napa gold filters every 3,000 miles. Engine always seemed to run great, but had developed a bit of an erratic idle, you could feel it and see it on the tach. Now, you literally can't tell if it's running it's so smooth. Might be my imagination but it also seems to run just that extra 5% better, enough that I notice it. I've owned the truck for 14 years, I know every tiny nuance of the sounds and feels it produces ... and this oil definitely made a difference. Hard to believe, but true.

Valvoline's "Restore & Protect" motor oil is a true game-changer for car owners looking to optimize engine performance and longevity. After a full oil change cycle in my 120,000-mile vehicle, I'm genuinely impressed by the results. Key Performance Improvements (5/5): This oil truly delivers on its "Restore & Protect" promise: Smoother & Quieter Operation: My engine's idle became noticeably smoother and quieter, feeling like reduced friction. Improved Responsiveness: The car feels more responsive, with a subtle but definite restoration of power and efficiency. Better Fuel Economy: I observed a slight increase (0.5-1 MPG) in average fuel economy, indicating improved engine efficiency. Reduced Oil Consumption: My older vehicle typically required top-offs, but with Restore & Protect, no additional oil was needed between changes, suggesting better sealing. These tangible improvements strongly suggest the oil's cleaning and protective technology is actively working, giving the engine a "rejuvenation." Value & Overall Impression (5/5): While slightly pricier than basic oils, the added benefits of restoration and protection make Valvoline Restore & Protect an excellent investment. It can potentially delay costly engine work for older vehicles and acts as a superb preventative measure for newer ones. The peace of mind alone is worth it. This oil is more than just lubrication; it's a proactive maintenance solution. If you want to extend your engine's life, enjoy a smoother ride, and improve efficiency, Valvoline Restore & Protect is highly recommended. It's now my go-to motor oil! Pros: Actively cleans and protects engine. Improves smoothness, reduces noise. Enhances responsiveness and efficiency. Potentially improves fuel economy. Great for extending engine life. Excellent value for benefits. Cons: Slightly higher price point (but worth it!).
