Oh wow, someone that is willing to objectively try something before bashing it; such a rarity these days!
Cut open an oil filter before using the oil as a comparison.
This will be a great test. We should know soon how well it works or doesn't work. As time goes on, we'll see more consumer reviews. One guy posted borescope shots of the internals and it cleaned up the varnish very well.
For $36 a jug I'd rather just spend the extra on hpl or get a high detergent oil like castrol edge euro 5w-30 or rotella T4 both of which cost less. Someone did a voa on this a while ago and both detergents and oxidation value being ester count were disappointing.
Valvoline Restore & Protect 5w-30 - Virgin UOA
Here is the virgin report. THERE’S NO OTHER MOTOR OIL LIKE IT??????? I asked for both TBN & TAN???? I'll call them tomorrow and see if they will come up with it.

You are not suppose to dump straight crude oil into an engine.

Uhhhh, Mobil made that claim ages ago
Maybe they should add the first to be sold off to the Saudis? LOL

Yeah, I suspect it's AN's.

It's like Valvoline picked up a book on marketing at a second hand book shop and just run the company based on that.
It's better to be first, than to be better.
Classic marketing BS.
I wonder that too. Bc on paper there is nothing whatsoever that stands out as it being unique. Unless it's not a metallic additive and some new novel ingredient or ANs.
Did they ever say deposits though? Cleaning power to clean sludge but I don't recall any brand claiming they can remove piston deposits back to factory levels.Uhhhh, Mobil made that claim ages ago

The wording is usually - exceptional cleaning power, clean sludge in one change, prevents deposits keeping pistons clean. Nothing about cleaning carbon deposits that I can recall.

Roger England worked at Cummins apparently and was likely working on that Premium Blue Restore oil they came up with, which Valvoline explicitly stated they use group V for that (esters/ANs). Using those base oils in a product at levels where it could clean would price it well above the Walmart threshold I'm thinking.
So it's either marketing bs, ANs or something new.

Yeah well they all do it including "trust us" boutique brands.
Look how many people for years thought Red Line cleaned LMAO. Nope. Will run clean though. Red Line failed the TEOST test years ago when Amsoil tested it. While it was not necessarily the great test, it does have some relevancy and potential implication for IVD's.
Cummins has 89 test cells at their R&D center where they tested Premium Blue Restore.
