Hmm maybe they did. I'm not sure. Valvoline is into these Restore oils apparently, although the other one remains to be seen.Interesting. I sort of thought they abandoned that product. The trick will be finding it for sale to us normals if it is something you want to try.
There were a handful of people here that ran the 'Gen1' stuff in various cars. I believe there were some UOA's done as well. The Gen1 was a very stout oil as I recall.No sure I’d use it anyways….

True. I kinda feel maybe more for a “ one foot in the grave” type of engines. Even in my beater, Maxlife seems to have it handled……
so fully tested on and endosed by cummins but the cummins store doesnt sell it.. just regular valvoline blue. products...
Just called my local cummins sales and service. It took the poor guy close to 10 minutes of searching so it's obviously not easy but he found blue restore generation 1 on his computer and says it's available to order.
He's going to email his support to find out if generation 2 is available in Canada because he couldn't find it at all in the system.
Will update when I hear back - he said should be by tomorrow.
I ran a 5K OCI through my wife’s 2013 Lexus LS460 and was blown away by the color of the oil when it was drained; it was orange. I suspect it cleaned up a lot of varnish that was in the engine at 100K miles. The engine didn’t use oil before nor after. I just did it as preventative maintenance and glad I did. Wow, that was really amazing…..There were a handful of people here that ran the 'Gen1' stuff in various cars. I believe there were some UOA's done as well. The Gen1 was a very stout oil as I recall.
I have a friend that is a heavy diesel mechanic and has a great relationship with his dealers. He got me 4 gallons of Gen 1 PBR in 2/2024. Must still be available.Just called my local cummins sales and service.
