vs
Oil filter LIQUI MOLY or VALVOLINE
Reviews
$65-75 for 5 quarts of liqui moly and a filter. I do oil changes myself cause they are too easy not to and I don\u2019t trust anyone.
Pros: easy to do
Cons: don't trust anyone
Have a look at Valvoline restore and protect which is also for high mileage vehicles. Also grab a few oil filters, as the product does such a good job, you'll want to replace the oil and filter, do a few good long drives in the first weeks/month, replace the filter, do it again over the next few months, replace the filter, and keep that for the rest of the year ( maybe check the filter just in case ), and you'll see just how well it does.
Pros: does a good job
Valvoline synthetic with oem filter.
I like Valvoline Restore and Protect along with the OEM black filter. But also, if your washer fluid lights keeps coming on, just unplug it. It’s so much easier than trying to find an another bump in the road to purposefully drive over to turn off! \ud83d\ude02 some say you can fill your washer reservoir with white vinegar and clean the sensor, but it didn’t work for me.
Pros: Valvoline Restore and Protect, OEM black filter
Vehicle:
Subaru
valvoline and oem filter
Pros: Valvoline, OEM filter
Liquimoly is more expensive, sure, but that’s what I buy. Comes in a nice little kit with a filter and I know I don’t have anything to worry about.
Pros: comes in kit
Cons: more expensive
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I have been unfortunate enough to be underneath a customers car, taking the oil filter off, when they decided to fire it up. If that Valvoline didn't put the filter on right, you would have known driving home not In a month.
I change my oil filter every oil change n my advanced synthetic oil liqui moly last 9K
Pros: liqui moly lasts
Mileage: 9000 km
Their most recent mistake cost me my entire vehicle. They put my oil filter cover on without an oil filter. This caused debris from less than three months to create enough friction to blow a piston arm in my engine.
Cons: blew a piston arm
I dont think valvoline is using a quality filter with the required oil.
Cons: not quality filter
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
