Valvoline full synthetic, 5w-20, She has 151k and counting.
Use only Valvoline restore and protect every 5 k miles. Keeps engine clean keeps and oil use normal
If it's burning oil try a few change intervals with Valvoline Restore and Protect. It's supposed to remove deposits on the piston rings and reduce oil consumption.
What I would do is have the oil changed but make sure you use Valvoline Restore & Protect and a new quality filter (OEM Toyota, Wix, Mobil 1). Drive the car about 1600km, then do the oil change again using new oil and filter, drive again for 1600km, do it a 3rd time.
Changed ours at 3k and will change again at 6k. After that it’s every 5k. Use Subaru oil and filters.
Valvoline 0w20
Been using for donkey years and never failed to amaze me. Valvoline till now never seen or encountered with fake ones.
You’ll be fine. I’ve used Valvoline for years over various cars. It’s more just making sure you know what oil to ask for.
I burn a little bit of oil and started to run the Valvoline restore and protect 5w30 in my n18 r56 with 178k miles (286k km). Hard to tell what burns vs leaks out though.
I learned this the hard way switching to Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30, destroyed my bearings just like you.
