Engine oil VALVOLINE or RAVENOL
Valvoline Restore & Protect oil, stat!
I do like Valvoline R&P and it is in fact cleaning up two older, normally aspirated cars I have with oiling and ring issues, installed in one Lexus and one older Acura (Isuzu).
Oil burning around 150k, although switching to Valvoline Restore & Protect I've basically eliminated it. Seems to be related to carbon buildup in the low tension rings.
Just another clean option to compete with Valvoline.
Reduced oil consumption in my 2015 Volvo V60 with 143,000 miles
It has helped the valve tick in my 150k mile Yaris
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’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.
Ravenol VST 5w40 for now when my oil usage is nearly 1L for 1000km and I will probably go for the Ravenol RCS 5w40 after I rebuild the motor.
They checked the oil and sure enough they put double the oil in her engine.
