I've run R & P for three oil changes so far. Examining the piston tops, timing chain, and cam phaser with a bore scope shows an ongoing improvement and an elimination of valve train noise on cold start. I'm pretty optimistic.

I’m on my 2nd OCI with Valvoline Restore and Protect. Had an oil analysis done by SpeedDiagnostix. Great results on my 08 Honda Accord with 350,000 miles. 1.8 ppm per 1000 mile wear metals which is fantastic results. Analysis done on 5,000 mile run on the oil.

Thanks for the info. I have been doing research on it. I am going to use it on my 98 Silverado with 240K miles on it. I will buy extra filters and change them during my first two changes. It's old and the filters will most likely catch a lot of carbon.

[@briandenisefarmer333]

Quick update… prior to switching to R&P back at the 340,000 mile mark I was burning 1.5’ish quarts per 5,000 miles. 1st run on R&P reduced oil consumption down to just shy of 1 qt in 5,000 miles. I now have 3,000 miles on 2nd run of R&P. Only used 1/8 of a quart (small tick on the dipstick). On pace for about 1/4 qt on 5,000 miles. Couldn’t be happier using this oil.

Just started my first round with this oil. I changed it right before a 1300 mile round trip vacation. I checked my oil as soon as I got home and it’s still pretty clean. It darkened, but not as much as expected. I’ve always used full synthetic, but my engine seems to really love this oil. I had a tiny ticking noise that’s now gone. And it just seems to run smoother in general. Paired with a Mobil 1 filter for now. I plan on changing oil at 3000 miles, after the 4th change I’ll bump it up to 5k and probably go back to OEM filters. time will tell!

Jimmy you don’t have to worry about the oil overwhelming the filter if you change the oil every 5k.

Can’t wait until about a year out to see what people will have experienced with rigs that consume lots of oil.

[@jmackinjersey1]

I'm glad that you stated you will be changing the oil filter at 2500 miles. I think you may want to perform this a little sooner, maybe at the 2000 mark, because you'll be replacing it at 3k miles anyway. The reason I say it is important is because there are a few videos of people using this Valvoline R&P and since the engines were grossly neglected and had a ton of sludge in the CC, the filters were being clogged. I noticed you did not use, or show us that you used a borescope before you changed the oil, so we don't know the condition of the internal portion of the engine. I used this in my 2010 Sierra, 5.3L a few months ago, and I am coming up to the 3k mark on my first round. As you noted, this is an ongoing process, and the * on the bottle states that it can take up to 3 oil changes before you can see results. Anyway, I have been watching my oil on the dipstick as well as draining a small amount every 800 miles to see the condition of the oil in the pan. So far it is dark, and there is a little bit of gunk in there. Now obviously the only time I typically look at the oil is when I fully drain it, and so far the oil doesn't seem to be extremely full of gunk/debris. I have also been changing the oil at 3k, so I am pretty sure the CC is relatively clean, considering I bought it a few years ago with somewhere around 60k mi, and it has just over 100k now. I am not sure how well the first owner changed the oil, but I can say that the exterior of the truck was neglected a bit and that it was a west Texas truck, used on a cattle ranch by an older gentleman, and that the second owner that I bought it from only had it for about 8 months before she sold it to me, and she only drove it 2k miles, and only changed the oil when she bought it. Regardless, as stated by a few other YT videos, be sure to keep an eye on the oil pressure gauge so that if the filter were to get clogged or dirty prematurely, you can be sure to catch it before harm has begun. Next time I change my oil, I will use my borescope to explore as much as I can. I only wish I had thought about making an initial video before I changed the oil over to R&P.

Nice that you commented/confirmed that the Oil Filter Gasket came along with the old filter. I have Cartridge Filters on my current vehicles so it would be odd to accidentally "double gasket" my New Filter. But for the random DIY Oil Changers visiting out there.

Just don't forget that you want to change your oil sooner rather than later when you switch to a different brand oil vs. what the vehicle normally ran.

First, the fuel must be of good quality and add additives to the fuel. Second, change the oil before the deadline, as per the manual. For example: if you change it every 10,000 km (6,250 miles), you change it halfway through the distance traveled, and it is also valid for months. It is good to always warm up the engine before moving it, this way it works at the ideal temperature and lubricant efficiency. Doing this prevents oil sludge.

[@johnf.6942]

Using it now in my car, I hear that if your car has a lot of miles and sludge be prepared to change the filter at 2,500 if you do 5,000 mile oil change. 🤔.

[@robertmaybeth3434]

If I'm worried I might forget to refill the oil after a change I put the new oil bottles on the drivers seat until I open and pour them in.

[@MoriNguyen]

I’m only worried about leaks afterwards. Cleaning agents mostly affects the seals, specially you are going to leave it there all the time with the oil.

It’s called Amsoil Signature Series Oil my friend.

[@aurorayoru5333]

Where can I get this oil in Canada

[@robertwhite9898]

Good video! I’ll have to try that oil

[@fathead657]

Great video as always. Could you put a link to where you got that massive oil pan? Also have you used a fumoto valve on oil pan or any of the other brands of drain plug alternatives?

[@alabamamotionpictureproduc6626]

I've got the same oil pan, I got it from O'Reillys, I think they're Kragen out west. I needed it because my tractor has a 2+ gallon oil capacity.

[@fathead657]

@@alabamamotionpictureproduc6626 thank you for the reply

[@BackyardBeeKeepingNuevo]

I wonder if 5 quarts will help the arthritis in my knees and hips after years of doing my own car maintenance and oil changes?

[@gj91471]

What is the Noack Volatility rating of this oil ? Cant find this info online........not good.

[@azman2040]

It seems to me that Valvoline is purely leveraging the qualities of ester to develop this 'new' technology.

[@ifyoudisagreeyouarewrong]

there's no ester in it, virgin oil analysis proves that

[@ScubaSteve0224]

Is it okay to switch from the synthetic blend I’m using now to this oil? My engine is the 4.8 Vortec. I’ve heard different opinions on switching from blend to full synthetic.

[@electric8668]

This oil is most likely rated better.

[@OtisFlint]

Absolutely OK, no issue.

[@LionsTigersBears]

Nippon denso makes alot of OEM parts for toyota

[@zoefaith120]

I am here to restore my self to 100 percent. So we can drive forever...

[@chuckchambers9565]

It worked for me, but you better change that filter a couple of times.

[@matthiasgrunwald895]

AWesome oil

[@luckyguy600]

" NEW & IMPROVED" sounds like a Dura-lube ad Or the STP glue we used to dump in to quiet that noisy engine! lol

[@luckyguy600]

" tune up in a can" is back folks ... good luck with that he said with a smirk!

[@shinola228]

I just bought some of this stuff at Walmart and when l opened it there was no foil seal. Just wondering if yours had the seal. The Mobil 1 I usually use always has that seal. Who knows what kind of tricks someone may be up to.

[@BrohoshaphatG]

No foil seal on these, just make sure the little collar under the lid is attached when you buy it.

[@shinola228]

@@BrohoshaphatG Good to know. Thank you.

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

i use 5w-30 in all my cars that 0w-20 and 0w-16 is recommended for. thin oil is good for fuel economy, bad for engine protection

[@hass1337]

True

[@hotrodray6802]

Agreed. I'm using 5/30 instead of 5/20.

[@iceman8361]

I wouldn't hesitate to go to 5w30 if 5w20 was the spec recommended. If it calls for 0w16 I would not go to 5w30. You have to make sure you don't have flow issues as the engine tolerances and passages are tight. You want to make sure your flow rate is good especially on cold start where most of your wear occurs at.

You will get years of great service from that 4runner
