Valvoline Restore And Protect

[@EvzenKovar-i5p]

New sub here. Remember to always use Valvoline Restore and Protect in your video titles as you track your experiment. A lot of people are following folk’s experiences with this new product.

[@jamesclark5461]

Lake Speed and the Valvoline engineers are quite exact about the chemistry of Valvoline R&Protect (VPR) oil. You need to have the chemistry of VRP working over a period of months without mixing other oils to achieve the clean result in the oil control ring area of the pistons. Must do four drain and fills with the VPR oil over time. I would recommend you follow this method. All the best on your remarkable Geo Metro longevity record. I have done this with my 2009 Camry over four drain and fills with VPR oil and it no longer burns oil. Just a note: I drained the fourth batch of oil this week and it was very clean and measured at the full mark before the drain.

@@jamesclark5461 James, appreciate the input...we will, in fact use the VR&P for the next change. Thats a given. Just gonna start using the VR&P to top off until then. I've been keeping records...and IS possible to maybe see a trend b4 the wholesale product change.

[@davidchappelle3212]

Lake Speed also says you do not know how oil will work while mixed with another oil as the chemistries of the two oils mixed have not been tested. I would recommend changing your oil instead of adding it.

[@davidchappelle3212]

and amazing job keeping that car going.

[@500kchevrolet9]

@@davidchappelle3212 Soooo....I'm an old, previously A S E certified, fart...working on an old tin can of a car(that I DO in fact care about). I've found potential evidence (on youtube) that doing a complete oil swap MIGHT cause issues, as well. My father taught me the value of patience, observation...and the art of "sneaking up" on something. I respect and appreciate your concern. But, is my car and I shall do as I see fit. We have a dip stick to observe for color and level. We have an odometer and a note app to help us keep track of useage(oil AND fuel). We have previous puffs of smoke to keep an eye out for. Due to one particular video, I feel a complete oil change to this product might be a bit aggresive on such an old unit. This is in FACT just my opinion...and we shall "sneak up on it"...observing and sharing as much as we can, along the way.

Lake speed is also paid a whole lotta money advertising this oil🤑

You know times are getting lean when homeboy is working on the geo metro

[@500kchevrolet9]

@@qoph1988 Lol...what can I say? I enjoy wrenching...and I enjoy making sure my old P O S runs well. Accepting oil usage, when there might be a cure, doesn't work in my head. Also, when this thing is happy, it's a VERY efficient package. The first year I owned this car, it paid for it'self TWICE in fuel savings. So, it doesn't owe me a thing. As far as I'm concerened, those savings can gladly be churned into proper maintinance. Please consider checking out other vids on my channel. Mostly about old car and shop equipment repair.

Piece of advice, old buddy: Always remove your wristwatch when doing mechanics, even if it's light mechanics.

292K that's a definitely mighty GEO metro, that's almost haft a million Kilometers 😮 Great job and informative video and the endorsement of the Valvoline product 😊

That’s a fantastic video of someone adding motor oil to an engine.

At 292,000 I’d say you’ve got a lot of use out of that old girl. Hopefully the Valvoline oil will help you get some more.

[@kevinfernando3167]

DId you check if the PCV valve was faulty?

[@500kchevrolet9]

@@kevinfernando3167 That's the FIRST thing I always check. From past experience, crank case pressure is a primary suspect.Certain applications, it's not just the pcv valve that can be suspect...but the vacuum source, it'self...old gm TBI units were notorious for clogging pcv vac chanells. Alot of folks couldn't understand how rebuilding(just dissasembly and cleaning) of the trottle body would fix thier oil leak. The oil leaks on the geo are now a nonissue...

Hi Capt Ron, Miss Sally and everyone ❤

[@timothypadilla4192]

My 96 Vette is loving that stuff.

[@chriswyma145]

The Restore and Protect should reduce oil consumption. But a full oil and filter change would be better. It would work faster.

[@500kchevrolet9]

@@chriswyma145 Suggest ya thumb through some of my responces to others...I'm on a 5000 mile service interval with about 2500 left. And we've been using about a qt every 1400. I like to "sneak up" on things, rather than agressevly attacking. We have an opportunity to catch this stuff in the act of making an improvement. I want to see that, if it happens.

[@DocZoidberg549]

I am going to put in my 98 Silverado. I am going to buy extra filters. If the oil pressure drops I will put another one on it. If the oil gets dark I will change the oil.

[@stoker261]

you may want to look into BG products. thanks for this video.

[@johnsn10]

If your car is down a quart or 2 from oil consumption can you add this to help clean the engine before doing a full oil change? Or should you not mix this oil with other oil?

[@500kchevrolet9]

@@johnsn10 Those are the kind of questions I'm kinda trying to answer...been watching the dip stick...and looking for any issues, none found at the moment.

[@stupidbird4U]

If you're blowing smoke after taking off from the lights. It is most likely your valve stem seals and guides are worn.

@@chaingliderreddup4222 I'v e made my living, as a mechanic, off and on, since about 1988. I HATE nastyness under the hood of my personal whips. It helps speed leak diagnosis, and I believe, helps things last longer, as well.

Hope you're doing well Ron.? The Mightily GEO

[@noahkraft6453]

Don’t bother with an update 1 quart will not help.

[@gregorymalchuk272]

I wish they made Valvoline Restore and Protect in a "high mileage" version with the seal swell agents for leaking crankshaft seals and hard valve stem seals. You can probably make your own by adding two bottles of power steering stop leak to a 5 quart jug of oil. I wonder if they make a Castrol Ultra Clean in a high mileage variant.

[@Dopamine1217]

It already contain it, it is above API and GF6 certified oils.

[@gregorymalchuk272]

@@Dopamine1217 API what? SP? SN? I thought high mileage oils specifically had more seal swelling esters.

[@Dopamine1217]

@@gregorymalchuk272 This oil i above both APIs and GF6. I have used it last week, much quieter engine, running like from factory so far. I will make a video on it soon.
