Just to share my experience on this oil, I am into my 2nd run on restore and protect (change oil at every 5000 miles interval), running 5w20, a 2010 pickup with 204800 miles. At about 3000 miles, the color of the lifters, spring and the walls became light chocolate brown, very noticeable, then I have noticed this oil is actually doing something.
Pros: helps to clean up deposits
Cons: oil drained off pitch black
Mileage: 5000 km
No issues at 150k on my 6. I do not worry but do run pea type injector cleaner every 3-5k and use quality oil that helps prevent off gas issues like Mobil 1 and Valvoline
Pros: quality oil, prevents issues
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
Mileage: 150000 km
I use Valvoline Restore & Protect, which claims to clean your engine and reduce friction/wear more than any other oil
Pros: clean engine, reduce wear
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
I use Valvoline Extended Protection Full Synthetic 5W-30.
Very good on engines and your turbo especially (i have a 2014 st3)
Pros: very good on engines
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
I have a 2011 Escape Hybrid 2.5L with about 175,000 kms. I run Valvoline Advanced 0W-20 full synthetic as recommended by my mechanic. I've found it much better on fuel economy in colder weather than the 5W-20 for multi-seasonal use, especially in colder weather regions (I live in BC, Canada).
Pros: better fuel economy
Vehicle:
Ford Escape
Mileage: 175000 km
So I had this same question because I assumed that my local Toyota stealership would use “Toyota” brand oil, especially since they charged $70. Come to find out they used Valvoline.
Vehicle:
Toyota
Valvoline Restore & Protect. Its no joke.
Vehicle:
Subaru
I use Valvoline Synpower
I’ve gone down an oil research rabbit hole many a time. There’s been some extensive studies done and besides liqui moly, studies have shown that Valvoline extended protection has some of the best wear-prevention additives and performed among the best in lab samples pulled from used oil.
Pros: best wear-prevention additives
