I started using this on my high mileage Rav4 has definitely made the valve train noise quieter on the 2AR-Fe, I could swear the chain rattle that plagues these seems to have quieted down.

I have done two transmission drains and fills with Valvoline Maxlife, Multi-vehicle Full Synthetic ATF, after It had developed a torque converter shudder last year at about 45 mph. That stopped the shudder.
I’ve run it for about 300 miles now in my 08’ Hummer with the 6.2L. So far cold start noises have drastically gone down, oil pressure hasn’t changed much. Truck seems happy so far. I’m monitoring dip stick varnish to see how well this cleans over time, for now I’m using my ears as my evidence and it sounds so much better.
Just threw some into my Corolla with around 200k on it. Always used standard 5/0W-20s in it and last time I was inside of it there was some light depositing and varnish, nothing crazy but it runs like a well-kept 200k mile engine. Seems to have alleviated a little bit of lifter tick in the 500-700 miles that it’s been in there so far. Seems like a good and high quality oil overall.
My Xterra would burn about 1.5 qts of oil between changes (I change every 3750 miles). Been using this stuff for about 18 months now and my oil consumption has gone down to just about 1/2 qt between changes, and my fuel economy has improved by about 1-2 mpg.
Legit! I’ve had great success with this oil. Eliminated tap, removed a ton of sludge from my engine(previous owner didn’t take care of car) and overall better performance and better gas mileage. I’ve done 9 oil changes since I switched to this oil and it has done wonders. When I first got the car, when I would change the oil, within 500 miles the oil on dipstick was dark as hell. Now after 9 oil changes the oil stays clear(ish) up to 3000 miles. And it has significantly reduced oil burn. I swear by this oil and I tell everyone I know about it. It’s not a gimmick! It really works!
I've seen good results online.
For 2 dollars more than the regular high mileage offering, I figured it was worth the risk.
I am doing a couple of oil changes with it (1k, 2.5k, 5k), and am hoping to see some evidence of it working on my 190k Mazda 3.
I have finished 1 oil change at 4k miles on a 2014 impreza that the previous owner religiously changed at 8k miles with cheap oil and cheap filters. My MPG improved a little and oil consumption went from 1 qt every 1k miles to 1 qt at 3k miles. I also commute 54 miles daily so the oil wasnt in the car that long. I "feel" like its doing something.
I used valvoline cvt fluid and the trans lasted me 55k miles. Granted i dont drive that much so it was over 2 years but i did constant fluid changes with valvoline. Now i stick with oem nissan fluid. Maybe just maybe it’ll last a bit longer
Just had major neck surgery so couldn't do my own and went to Valvoline. They cracked the oil pan and said the car was defective. Still fighting with them to get it fixed.
