Valvoline protect and restore has more detergents than any other I believe to clean out thew gunk. I've been running it in my car for 3 oil changes now.
I've seen lots of videos showing the Valvoline restore and protect oil helping to clean engines. If you go that route I'd recommend replacing the oil filter after 500 miles then again at 2500 miles to keep the filters new for any gunk that gets freed up.
Use Valvoline Restore and Protect oil if possible
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
It runs a premium (Total) 5W-30 engine oil. Gets an oil change and oil filter every 10,000km or 6months.
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.
I went to Valvoline once, oil pan emptied itself onto their floors the moment I started the engine. Joking aside I think it's perfectly fine to go to Valvoline, I go there often bringing my own oil and filter, that way I know it's the right oil and it's good quality stuff.
I learned this the hard way switching to Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30, destroyed my bearings just like you.
