Been using Valvoline Restore and Protect so I’m gonna change it even more frequently for the next few changes
My truck is rough cosmetically, but the engine runs beautifully at 175k.
Im currently using it in my car (2017 Ford Fusion 2.0 Ecoboost), and just made a long road trip around 2k miles in the summer heat, some around 100 degrees. The oil looks fine, not really dirty in my case.
Cu Castrol Edge 10w40 am avut rezultate bune la TDI-ul euro 3 (ALH). Am inceput sa il folosesc (in varianta 5w30) si la TDCI euro 5 si sunt in continuare foarte multumit. Am avut surprize cu Aral (asta e recomandarea producatorului, dar e ceva poșirca nici macar full-sintetica) si cu un Ravenol mai de soi la ALH, a mancat ulei. Cand am revenit la Castrol nu a mai mancat.
My prius went from burning a quart every 1000 miles to almost no consumption after 2 changes with r and p. The oil was so disgustingly dirty the first change which i did at 3k instead of 5k. It definitely cleans your engine out.
Y'all might call me a heretic for running Valvoline restore and protect 5w30 in my 4.0T.
Any oil that meets API SP and is the right viscosity grade more than likely is at least as good as the oils specified by the OEMs.
I don't know what it's doing inside my engine but I just did my 2nd oil change with R&P and noticed my dipstick looks new now. No signs of any varnish, just shiny clean metal.
I shit you not, castrol magnetic oil really helps save a bit petrol.
Castrol makes a Edge Euro 5w-30 and 5w-40 that is LL-01 and ACEA A3/B4, it's not going to meet the later LL requirements because it's higher viscosity and not as fuel conserving, also not low SAPS so potentially it could contribute to more intake valve buildup
I used castrol edge on my last change but I don't like the way the oil looks after a few months of driving. Of course it was extreme temperatures down here in South Texas. Wonder if the extreme heat caused my oil to look kinda jello looking haha.
