Valvoline Restore & Protect 5w-30 (Gonna Take a Chance)

[mco30mco]

We bought a new 2024 Ford edge with the 2.0 ecoboost. I always do an early change before 1000 miles. I always say I'm gonna try mobil one esp 5w30 but I always back out when I see it doesn't have the Ford wss m2c 961 a1 approval. Then I saw the new Valvoline on the shelf. I have not seen a voa on it but it seems the old Valvoline advanced and extended were always well regarded and this is suppose to be better. Ill prolly be putting it in, in the next week with a Fram endurance filter. if anyone has any experience with it let me know if worked good for your application.

Where did you find Restore and Protect ?
Walmart ?

Where did you find Restore and Protect ?

Auto zone, they had two of the 5 quart bottles in 3 different viscosities and a few quarts in each viscosity. I was at a Michigan auto zone. I heard they will be the first chain to have it in stock and soon after everyone will have it.

Walmart ?

it was 38.99 for the 5 quart and 11.99 for the quart. A little expensive. Unless us bitog really like it, I imagine it won't be a big seller until the price comes down a bit. That will prolly happen if Walmart starts selling it.

I'll look out for it at Walmart. Seems promising

And what is this magic elixir supposed to do that regular varieties of Valvoline don't do?

Restore and Protect - Valvoline™ Global

From the moment it starts for the very first time, critical parts of your engine begin building up harmful deposits that are nearly impossible to reverse - until now. Valvoline Restore & Protect is the first and only motor oil that prevents future deposit formation and restores pistons to...

Restore and Protect - Valvoline™ Global

So now they claim they have one that's like a motor flush while you drive? LOL

If you do run this, please do show us the before and after and we can see whether it actually breaks down older caked on sludge, if any.

"1 Up to 100% piston deposit removal when used as directed for four or more consecutive oil changes at standard maintenance intervals, based on adapted sequence IIIH testing."

So this, according to Valvoline, would be four years later I might see that my pistons are somewhat cleaner? If they aren't, do I get the money back for "Pay for 16 jugs and only get 4."?

"Is Restore & Protect DEXOS certified?

No. If you are looking for a DEXOS-certified product, the Valvoline Advanced Full Synthetic and Extended Protection items are DEXOS certified. For all others, Restore & Protect is the best option."

So if you drive a GM car that's in warranty, you can't use this or it's bye bye warranty?

"Is Restore & Protect an engine cleaning treatment?

No, Restore & Protect is not an engine treatment. It is a fully formulated ILSAC GF-6A and API SP motor oil, exceeding the requirements of each specification. Restore & Protect works to its fullest capabilities when used consistently during regular oil drain intervals."

dexos exceeds GF-6 and API SP by quite a margin. You can get dexos for as little as $18-19 a jug (Super Tech Full Synthetic/Full Synthetic High Mileage or Quaker State in Full Synthetic or High Mileage). There's a lot of inexpensive full synthetics that exceed API SP and GF-6.

This product is going to make the “all oil is the same” crowd so upset.

 

[mco30mco]

I guess since I'm putting it in a brand new car with less than 1000 miles ill just protect and remain factory clean

 

[sloinker]

Valvoline makes quality products. I wouldn't bother with a newer vehicle like yours.

Nice! You’re a front runner keep us posted.

I still haven’t seen a PDS on this, somebody found an SDS whatever the magic is, its in the add pack but I am guessing we won’t be able to see whatever it is.

 

[Slick3914]

This will be the December 2024 clearance oil.

Restore….and protect….

We’ll see what Walmart sells it for - VME started pretty high and that did not work out - so perhaps this will be closer to $30 considering how much AZ and others sell oil for …

Like pretty much all other quality detergent oils do.

Or get HPL for $11.69/quart and a bottle of their engine cleaner if you wish and be light years ahead of that Valvoline gimmicky garbage.
