2nd Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30 Oil Change 2015 Ford F150 5.0 - New Experiment Also

[@troublemakingpups5787]

I use the Valvoline high mileage, and my truck runs smooth and quiet. I am looking forward to your oil results. 😊🐶

[@Davido50]

It's a great oil. Use Motorcraft filters an dont exceed 6k mi (max) OCI esp in summer /winter mos!

[@Sunsetschano]

I use that kind too. I like it.

[@ZWortek]

4:53 Im so glad you mentioned this in videos I don't even know how long ago at this point. I wasn't aware of flood mode before I started watching your videos a few years back. It is THE way to do it if you can't prefill the oil filter or don't want to and you still get solid oil pressure on the first start after an oil change.

Been using Pennzoil Platinum/Ultra Platinum last 10yrs+ on all our newer expensive Ford & Lincoln vehicles. I'm impressed w/formulation of Valvolines new full synthetic line up too tho. We prob splitting hairs w/all these top tier oils. Fords excellent, proven gen2 GTDI engines require just good consistent basic maintenance & will give ya 300k mis. Engineering pt of view. Oil changes every 5-6k mis max + tranny fluid 50k mis max + coolant flush every 40k mis max. Also try to run top tier rated fuels folks. All major automakers recommend/lobby for em. A clean engine is an efficient & long lasting engine. 💯

As much as I subbed and recommend your channel because of the work and research you put into the technical aspect of your vids? I even watch the vids on engines I don't have or your unrelated personal content ie current events and your honeymoon etc. Just to support the channel as much as I can right now helping it grow. Good man in an increasingly F'd up world. You and Makoloco are my go to Ford guys. You and Project Project Farm are my go to product assesment guys. Others out there I like supporting as well. Wrenching with Kenny. Eric the Car Guy and others. Comment sections are invaluable for picking up tips as well. Forums tend to degrade into bitchy knitting circles over any topic rapidly. Good example the Fumoto etc oil drain valves. Nice if they actually worked but leaving 1/2 L of used oil in the crankcase defeats the purpose of a change. Fully intend to start supporting this channel with a paid membership or buying merch and advertizing it asap. Canada is just as nuts right now... Thank You for being You Brother!!! 👍👍

Valvoline Restore and Protect smells burnt right from the jug. Been a long time subscriber and basically follow your videos and learned a ton from watching you. Thanks as always for the good videos. Anyway while doing my oil change on my F150 3.5 I noticed that Valvoline Restore and Protect sort of smells burnt from the jug? I wonder if the smell is from the detergents. Next time you open a jug/quart give it a smell and let me know what you think please. I'm sure its fine but having done my own oil changes all my life and this oil just stuck out as smelling burnt. Also now that I am thinking about it, I never checked if Valvoline Restore and Protect meets my 3.5 eco boost API service spec since it has turbos?

Hey Rich. Can you do a video on your thoughts about prefilling oil filters? Motor oil geek just showed data that the thinner the oil, the more you need to prefill the oil filter. Your thoughts? I’m definitely going to start doing it when possible.

[@ZWortek]

His thoughts for the past few years have been that you should use flood mode or equivalent if your car has it. Basically a way to crank the engine without combustion so that the system primes the oil filter before the real first start to prevent turning the engine over with ignition while there is basically no oil pressure because that causes some extra wear that you can prevent. If your car doesn't have clear flood mode or equivalent then you prefill your oil filter as much as you can. Basically you can do one or the other, the thing that matters is that the oil filter is full (ideally) before the engine starts up with ignition for the first time after an oil change.

[@johnlopez3001]

​@@ZWortekUnfortunately my Honda doesn't have Flood Mode, so I pre - fill my oil filter. I guess I could also remove the fuel pump relay.

@@johnlopez3001 If you can prefill the oil filter, you're good to go, you should get oil pressure reasonably quick with either method on the first start after that. 👍

[@oneninerniner3427]

Keep in mind an elemental oil analysis is just that, an analysis of the known common elements, additives & wear elements. So trying to compare oils on their percentages of additive elements isn't necessarily definitive of how well an oil works, ok. Because we still don't know the true nano makeup of oils, and thats what makes or breaks them in their real world performance. There is a new nano synthetic, i forget its name, but it is still in its early stages of testing formulation & release. I believe It is a full PAO base and shows pretty much 0, zero, elements on its oil analysis! Except for some high tech form of copper olite i think it was. It has been shown to work very well so far. So this may get interesting!

I'd check Valvoline's FAQ about Restore & Protect. If I recall correctly they claim it's good for All vehicles new or old that use API SP/6A. It isn't Dexos Rated so if using on a GM vehicle that "requires" Dexos for Warranty... You may want to wait (they recommend using Advanced, if you want Dexos1 rated Oil) until Warranty is up. Per a recent R&P review video discussing how Oil is constantly battling carbon deposits and seems like R&P use would be recommended any/all the time. Been reading how people are thinking of cycling between several R&P changes then going to their regular Oil(s) and swapping back and forth as needed... To keep things "clean"

[@ZWortek]

It's good for any mileage really. If the engine is new or relatively clean then it should keep it as clean as possible, but if it's dirty it should clean it up within a few oil changes. There is also a more hardcore version that Valvoline made for Cummins (premium blue restore) that will really clean a dirty engine like crazy but it's super expensive and you actually have to worry about clogging the filter up with contaminants that are cleaned off by the oil. Valvoline restore and protect was made to be more forgiving and consumer friendly so that's why it takes 4 oil changes to reduce the risk of clogging up the filter too fast.

@@ZWortek It looks like after just an initial 4000 miles there appears to be significant cleanup of the Pistons using R&P. With its "Active Clean" technology breaking down/suspending the deposits, and the "Liqui-Shield" Additives... keeping those Deposits from reforming/causing problems as it cleans (? Would hope so with a 79% stronger antiwear protection vs an Industry Standard/GF6A Oil...)

I read in an Amazon review that older vehicles over 100k miles might leak. Guess will stick with advanced high mileage

[@redneckdeerhunter101]

I have a 2015 F150 5.0 with 123k miles on it been using pennzoil ultra platinum 5W 20 since new. I was wondering if I could switch it to Pennzoil ultra platinum 5w 30 without damaging the motor

[@bobb9922]

yes recommened to use by ford tech mack.....

[@coreybabcock2023]

I got one of those dog bone multi size wrenches lol

[@midwestpanther98]

Are you going to run this in your Grand Marquis?

[@leodrosia4369]

Great oil i bet but i usually buy the dexos supertech for 20 bucks and change at 5k....that ford engine should be good for another 200K miles!

[@bobb9922]

motor oil geek stated in one of his videos that - dexos is a good oil - high requirements by gm.

[@mitchellgraves2774]

Id like to see the before and after results through a camera run down in the cylinder after using this oil to see if there is any change or difference. I know it wont show the skirt of the piston but may get a general idea as if it is doing anything or not.

[@ramonmendoza8980]

Would you recommend 5w-30 over 5w-20 in the southern states like Texas in a 14 F150 5.0? Or stick with 5w20?

[@oliverramclam6009]

If it was my vehicle I would use 5w30 all day .

[@chuntzinger677]

In my old GMC ('92) with 300k+ I run Rotella T6 (15w-45) and it operates the best with that - not a diesel - but runs really smooth and have decent oil pressure at the hottest temps...yes, I know, not what the specs say - if it was a brand new $100k truck I'd probably go just a little thicker, but never over 5w-30 and always fully synthetic ....

[@bobb9922]

5w30 always

[@biz4twobiz463]

nice and simple oil change. I've been running pennzoil ultimate platinum and my 2017 3.5L Ecoboost has never sounded better. I switched from Royal Purple (cost)...and glad I did.

[@kevincooper3656]

Coolant interval suggestion for 2013 edge 3.5 NA?

[@FordBossMe]

Every 50k

[@Jnaszty559]

So this or ultra platinum? 😮

[@Loyal-ey2eq]

Boss, what is your recommendation for a Motorcraft oil filter for a 2020 F150 3.3l naturally aspirated V6?

[@FordBossMe]

Isn't yours an fl500?

[@Loyal-ey2eq]

@@FordBossMe Yes, I have oil changed every 5000 but I’ve been using whatever filter the local shop puts in and wanted to go back to a Motorcraft filter, didn’t know if I should go with the fl500 or step up to fl820?

[@HypocriticYT]

I do my own oil changes so why do I find it fascinating watching Rich do one?😅

[@czechmate6916]

Same here

[@claycabes2143]

What’s fluid film? Is that like an undercoat?

[@honusbigtime591]

Yep. Lanolin based. $10 can

[@bones6554]

Should do a before and after with a bore scope.

[@kevinkinsler]

Just go Purchase a GoldPlug, that tells you the top quality oil by monitoring metal particles on each oil change. Does a Phenomenal Job!!!
