Valvoline Restore & Protect or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum are also great oils to run and clear up and baked on sludge.
Pros: clears baked on sludge
Buy Valvoline oil, and maybe it's a good time to switch to 5w-30 in it.

I tell you the stuff really works. My 2009 Matrix used to burn oil before I switched to Valvoline Restore and Protect.
Pros: really works
Cons: used to burn oil
Vehicle:
Toyota Matrix
I think it’s great as power steering fluid but I wouldn’t use it in place of my Toyota type IV fluid for my transmission
Pros: great as power steering fluid
Cons: not for Toyota transmission

I use that Valvoline, sometimes throw in random fully synthetic oils I get in bulk from an auction. I feel like it contributed to a rear main seal leak. Thinking of switching to a 5w40
Cons: contributed to seal leak
