My 2010 accord v6 was burning 1qt every 1k miles. After the 1st oil change its down to 1/2 qt every 4k miles. Been using Valvoline for decades & this Restore and Protect oil is a game changer.
Do you have a VCM muzzler installed on your v6 accord? My 2005 honda odyssey was also burning 1qt every 1k with vcm. After installing VCM tuner, oil consumption reduced drastically as it only lost about 0.5qt at 5k.
@@kevinfernando3167 yes i did install the muzzler at about 90k. Consumption actually stayed the same. Im at 205k now & the Restore & Protect has almost taken it down to almost zero.
Son has a 2009 accord v6, problem was so bad that he was fouling out spark plugs on the back bank after about a week or so. Honda indicated this was known issue and only real resolution was to re-ring the back bank at about a $4k cost...suggested using BG products to buy some time. Used BG EPR treatment for 2 oil changes in a row, oil burning went away, spark plugs quit fouling, and that was 3 years ago. Going to suggest he uses this restore and protect going forward, though, seems like it works well.
I started off using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 in my 2017 Toyota Camry with the 2.5 with 18,900 on it. When I got up to 180,000 miles. I started using Valvoline Restore and Protect 0W-20 and I noticed right away that the engine was super quiet and when I removed the valve cover. The inside of the engine looked like brand new. Even the cylinder bores showed no signs of wear. I'll definitely keep using this oil.
I drive a toyota with the 3.5 v6 and i boticed the immediate quiet abd smoothness 9f the wngine with restore and protect. Just 500 miles in and its atill great. Better mpg too
@@vandiyplant921 I didn't say that I didn't like Pennzoil Ultra Platinum anymore. Don't get me wrong, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is really good oil. I just noticed my engine was even quieter and seemed like it had more power after using Valvoline Restore and Protect. Both Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Valvoline Restore and Protect keeps your engine clean with 5k oil change intervals. However, for my application, Valvoline is a better fit. That's why oil analysis is so important.
3 oil changes ago at 3000 mile oil changes. Kia rio 190,000 now . Went to 5-30 w. My oil consumption is down also. I won't share all the maintenance I've done recently. I did alot of cleaning when I replaced injector o rings, cleaning of tops of valves with some crc, new valve cover gasket, intake, and throttle body gasket. I'm really pleased with the oil. I did a compression test before all this and one was lower than minimum required so I know the rings are worn as normal at this milage. I learned so much by jumping into my new car care mindset. At 66 years old I'm excited to learn more and more mechanical work i want to dig into
I'm on my fourth oil change on AGM 5.3. It has rotted 400000 miles. My engine is as quiet as it has ever been. At 2000 miles, when I check my oil, it is still golden. I did have some smoking when I first started it app, but that has gone away 100%. This is good oil
I use it in my 3.5 ecoboost and it is great performing oil. I'll be doing my 3rd oil charge some time in Oct using this. i check my oil every two weeks, did not have any loss of oil prior but, with traditional synthetic oil, it would darken around 3k. now it really doesn't get dark until I am approaching 5k. good luck with yours, kudos. nice video.
Your car is a great candidate, watch your oil condition, if it dark change it and the filter more often. Will take 3-5 changes to work. Thanks for watching!
@@Fix-it-tony I used epr to flush it out a few weeks ago. Changed the oil twice since then to make sure it’s all out. But know that stuff is good but will only get out so much. I’m about to do a 3rd oil change in 3 weeks lol. But I know it needs this
As The Care Car Nut shows in multiple videos.. the piston rings seize and cause wear on the cylinder walls thus causing oil consumption. Do not expect this to do anything for you.
180 ,000 Toyota rav 4. Need to replace 1 qt every 1,100 miles. Watched other videos regarding this oil and on my first oil drain. Only 500 miles driven since the oil drain. Attempting to see if I can reduce oil consumption. Will update after second drain and fill Thanks for your video😊
I've got the same car, 07 ls460. 165k miles on it. I was thinking i was going to have to sell it. I was watching crazy vids on how to fix with solvents, but gonna do that. Then saw a vid on "the motor oil geek" channel about this oil. Tried it. Can't believe the change. Have done 2 changes so far and it is running better. In his vids he actually visits Valvoline test center. 👍👍👊👊🤘🤘
This oil is fantastic, period. I was very skeptical until I watched Oil geek actually go down to the lab and did analysis. I switched and Made sure to do an oil change every 4k miles until it became clean. My purolater boss was full of crap from the engine, now that its clean, this oil will prevent all that buildup and keep it running another 100k miles.
My car was not necessarily a burner, but what this oil did fix was the blowby. 100% gone. I used to get oil and blowby pressure spurting out the oil fill cap when I opened it while it was running, not anymore. I'm completely sold.
Depending on how bad your consumption is, you might have a bore scoring/bore wear issue which this will not fix. This is a common problem on higher mileage Priuses due to low tension rings and 10K+ mile oil changes (both due to government regulations, you know, the people who aren't experts on anything making laws on everything.) If this fixes your problem, start doing 5K mile oil changes (yes, even with synthetic). 10K+ mile oil changes aren't good for any engine's longevity, regardless of the type of oil used.
10k mile oil Change very crazy to me, my mechanic in Türkiye he says 8k km max change intervals makes the engine million km and in around 7k i see in dipstick darkish oil. My car avensis Gasoline&lpg 3zzfe btw@@jdm2gdm
My daughters Prius has 200k miles it also consumes a lot of oil. So I picked up a quart of this stuff to replace the oil that her car consumed and it has helped slow the oil burning. So her next oil change I’ll use this stuff, I’ve tried Berryman b12 piston soak that didn’t work
I used this on my 98 Camry with 256,000 MI and so far I've had great results with it. Even the varnish on the dipstick is gone and it's clean like new! Great oil will be using it from now on!
I've been running this oil for the past 18k miles in my 2016 Highlander and I stuck a borescope into the valve cover and it looks like a brand new engine in there! Don't know what else it's doing further in but it's working on the top end for sure! Same goes for my 1998 454 in my RV which I've run now for 6k miles....looks like new in the valve train!
@@juliosdiy3206it’s a custom boron molecule from what oil analysis have would. Boron is a small slippery molecule that lubricates while it breakdown up sludge and carbon build up. Super safe to use and effective. Thanks for watching!
@@ureasmith3049I didn’t, but the issue was carbon on the piston rings. They are low tension and carbon does get in there, this oil breaks the carbon up and frees up the rings. Thanks for watching!
Glad it worked for you. Rings are an issue with these cars in the 2007’s, along with valve guides. If it returns, remove the air cleaner snorkel and open the throttle plate…oil pooling and tracking up into the snorkel are a BIG SIGN on these cars that the rings are shot and you’re getting blow bye past the rings. Love these cars but man when they go bad they go bad. Happy the oil took care of those rings!
In the next week or two I need to do the oil pan gasket, rear main seal, and front crank seal on my 1979 Dodge W150. It's got a 360 V8, and at least 111k miles(5 digit odometer). When I did the valve covers, the rockers were pitch black. I'm not surprised seeing as how it used to be a USDA truck. Government vehicles have surprisingly poor maintenance. It'll be interesting to see how well this oil will clean it all up.
Excellent report on the new Valvoline product, sir. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum was my 1st. choice, but I keep getting positive reports regarding Valvoline! Let's see what happens! Now may I suggest you start using Shell V-Power Premium gas, and check how it goes!
Tony that is excellent! My brother has a 2008 Lexus LS 460 and I will definitely share this video with him. We started using restore and protect in our 2012 GMC Acadia on the last oil change. The engine in our Acadia is a 3.6L dohc direct injection V6. We will be using restore and protect 5W-30 from here on out. Between using this oil and GDI / IVD intake cleaner for the intake valves, I imagine our Acadia will have many trouble free miles. You are definitely correct that Valvoline R&P works. Be blessed! Matthew
@@Fix-it-tonyI will keep you updated. I still need to share your video with my brother so he can start using Valvoline R&P in all his Toyota/Lexus vehicles. They have a 2014 Sequoia (5.7L) and 2002 Sequoia (4.7L).
Just found out from my brother at Thanksgiving that their LS460 is consuming about a quart every 1000 miles so I told him to do the VRP oil change ASAP.
Hi Tony. Thanks for this video. I'd like to suggest you tilt the Vevor monitor so we can see it clearer and avoid glare. Most importantly, though, is that metal bracket on top of the battery is not a good idea ;-)
I use it in our 3.5 ecoboost navigator L. We went from average 15mpg to 19-20 mpg. Less exhaust smoke and the motor runs ultra quiet. The turbos stay slightly cooler now as well. I am hoping this keeps the screens clean for the turbo oil lines plus, keep the cam phasers oiled and clean quite well. I will be doing analysis in a few weeks. It’s certainly a game changer that may well save the ICE vehicles for those of us that cannot afford EV options. This is cheap insurance.
On second oil change 2000 miles in on my 3000 change… First run I did 3400… Seems to have done very well for cutting back the oil usage in between oil changes… The only thing I have not seen a change in is high speed long-distance trips… 70//80 miles an hour on interstate for 90 minutes… I still burn the same amount as I did use the cheaper oils blah blah blah blah… I'm gonna go another round and I'm going to determine if that's changing at all or something that way ... isn't going to change etc.… So far been a great experience ...great product ..great vids👌🎯
I have a 2008 Scion tC with the 2AZ-FE engine known for burning oil. I was burning a quart every 200 miles or so. Also have to admit that I was just adding cheap gas station brand oil as needed, not doing a full change on schedule with that consumption rate. I did a full change with this a week ago before two long road trips. In those road trips, I probably put 1000 miles on. It burned 4-5 quarts of R and P! But here we are a week later, and the oil is black already even though it’s been topped off in that time. No doubt the engine is filthy inside and I suppose it’s worth doing another change with the new oil as black as it is. Hopefully this can slow down the consumption!!
2.5 quarts/5K miles in my 2016 2ZR-FE Corolla after 100K miles. Changed to 5w30 at 200K. Now only 1 quart/5K miles. First run of Valvoline R&P about 1350 miles ago!
Ya my daily is a 2003 civic with 198,000 miles. Use to burn 1 quart between oil changes. This is the first time I’ve used R&P Valvoline oil. I’m at the mileage for my next oil change I haven’t had to add any oil this time.
My 2016 2zrfe has 119,000 miles, and it burned a ½ quart of oil in 5,000 miles when I used Valvoline. Went back to Castrol Edge, and it didn't burn any oil.
Thanks for the video. Miquestion about this oil is. If it is cleaning the engine and the oil looks clean on the dip stick, where is all the dirt going?
Clean is objective, the oil is carrying broken down deposits into the oil filter. Need to change the oil more often if it starts looking dark if you have an excessively dirty engine. Thanks for watching!
@@jdm2gdm I regularly use Castrol edge and it’s a lot smoother than Mobil 1 in my experience. I also use their GTX high mileage in my old clunkers, great there as well. GTX HM is the best conventional/syn blend oil out there.
@@MrSamPhoenix Not sure on the trans oil. On my Audis, I use OEM trans fluid but I would also consider Liqui Moly (and I'm not a Liqui Moly fanboy, I think their motor oils are decent but not "the best")
@@adanlopez1011 Depending on your car, it might be ok. If you're in a low power, low torque naturally aspirated motor, practically any syn engine oil will be fine (so long as you change it every 5K miles or once a year, whichever comes first). For the turbo, high output folks, I wouldn't use Castrol personally if engine longevity is your goal. I use Driven (Gibbs) and Rowe motor oil (but also have used Pennzoil Ultra Euro and Mobil 1 Euro...mostly use the Mobil 1 as a "after flush" oil just cuz it's cheap and good 'nuff, especially the newer API SP formulation)
I recently bought an 03 Ford Taurus that was extremely low miles. I discovered that it had many hours of idling time on its 3.0 motor. I’ve replaced the entire ignition system, and I just changed over to Restore & Protect 5w20. I’m hopeful it cures its oil consumption as well. I lost a pint in 1500 miles. So I just changed it out to stay ahead of the issue.
This R&P “Synthetic” Oil performance is outstanding by any other comparison! I am now using in brand new 2024 Ascent DI Turbo… 11k miles (smoother, quieter), then 14k miles- 2nd “R&P” change/fill engine is now quieter than new!! Oil drain was medium/dark color. FYI: 1st Drain @ 800mi.(Mobil 1), 2nd. @1776mi., 3rd @4480 (Pennzoil Platinum 10W30),… 6th.& 7th. @11/14 kmi.(Valvoline R&P 5W30). “Severe Duty” driving conditions require shorter drain intervals… this includes “Turbos”, high ambient temps (Texas), Stop & Go traffic, etc. Best price is currently on/in Walmart w/Free S&H!
Thanks for sharing this. I also own new Subaru (2.5 Crosstrek) and I am concerned about long term carbon build up in this GDI engine. I also do my own maintenance (because I have stealership trust issues😂) I am also using the severe maintenance schedule because of my driving habits. It's obvious that you are comfortable using this oil in a new car. I thought it may have been premature to start on a new car.
Has the updated valve cover, no oil in the intake at all. Puddling is normal with a PVC problem, this engine for sure had stuck rings, common on early LS engines. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been singing this oil’s praises to everyone I know and online, people think I’m being paid to say I love it and it’s working in my oil-consuming Hyundai. If all Hyundai owners used only this oil from the beginning, I guarantee we would see a drastic drop in engine failures.
@@6atlantisFair point! I’m no certified mechanic, and I’m sure you’re right. I just know that Valvoline R&P is making my cars run better. I’ve always used high-end full synthetic high mileage oil but this is on a whole different level.
Want to try that oil but looks like not much viscosity option, so far I see only 0w20, 5w20 and 5w30 is available, I need 10w30... Thanks for sharing this video...
@ancienttech4636 Yes, actually in winter 5w30 can be used, I have Mazda Protege 5, 2.0. In the owners manual it is mentioned... Will try. Thanks for the hint!
Great oil comparison video available here on RUclips. It's titled something like "Toyota OEM oil vs Mobil 1 vs Penzoil vs Amsoil" and the guy sends off new samples to have them tested in a lab. Toyota uses Mobil 1 oil but they have a completely different additive package in their oil. Toyota OEM oil has 10x the amount of the dry lubrication additive molybdenum compared to the next closest competitor.
I have the dreaded Toyota 2 azfe 4 cyl. with 200 k miles and just switched it over to Valvoline, and it looks like its actually mitigating the oil consumption. Gonna keep running it and see if progress continues.
I have an 08 Scion tC with the 2AZ-FE. Burns a quart maybe every 200 miles. Also started this last week. After a week, it burned 5 quarts of R and P and the oil in the engine is black.
My LS460 eats oil so I have to check it every 1000 miles, but I have close to 300,000 miles on it. I’ve been using this oil for a few months now and haven’t seen a change as of yet.
Have you checked to make sure you high pressure fuel pumps are not leaking. That was a problem on mine that is hard to notice because the oil would hit the exhaust manifolds and burn off quickly. Thanks for watching!
@@Fix-it-tony I changed them about a year and a half ago. I could see the passenger side leaking so I changed them both. They’re completely dry without any leaks. I may need to change my valve cover gaskets, even though I don’t see any leaks doesn’t mean they’re not a culprit.
Bruh it could be worse, you could be me with a 2019 Kia Sportage drinking 1qt every 500 miles. After two oil changes with the Valvoline Restore and Protect, some 8000 miles or so, I'm finally starting to seem improvement. I'm still at 1qt/1000 miles starting my third round with this stuff. It's great, I love it and refuse to use anything else but there's a limit to what it can do. But with that said, be patient and enjoy the process.
@ i saw another video similar to this product, probably the first one i saw last month. They said that around the 4th oil change is where its "clean". Not sure how accurate that is but i will post another comment by then to leave feedback!!
I bought a 2013 Tacoma V6 with 30,000 miles in 2020. After a few thousand miles oil would start to get lower on the dipstick after changing the oil, not enough to be concerned but it bothered me enough. It never had blue smoke from the tailpipe either or leaks. I’m wondering since it must of sat for a while, the rings didn’t get seated enough and it would burn oil a little. I could go 3k to 4k and the oil on the dipstick would be somewhere between the middle of the stick. So it wasn’t excessive. I’ve since sold it, but should have kept it.
I recall the late Tom Cahill, automotive tester ,writer for mechanix illustrated magazine once saying that engines develope natural carbon seals over time. I wonder if removing them by using restore could cause problems? Just a thought.
On much older higher mileage engine this can happen. Some people are experiencing oil leaks after using this product. But these are repairs that probably needed to happen anyway, cheaper to replace seals than an entire engine. Thanks for watching!
Can't wait to give this a go. Every video Ive seen by independent reviews like yours says the same thing. BTW it might be $24 for 5 quarts in the US but in Australia it's retail price is $120 🙄
Ah, that's because you're on the southern hemisphere where everything is upside down / backwards. Your $120 is actually $021. It's all about perspective mate! :)
I’m using the R&R and a polyethylamide (PEA) fuel additive… oil and fuel consumption down after 2 changes in a 2013 Audi A5. Started using it on my GFs Subaru… starting to use less oil after 1 change… it’s pretty good. I’d recommend it on any engine.
I have a motorhome with a GM 8.1 v8. It has had a slight lifter tick when first started that goes away in under a minute. I tried several additives trying to correct this ticking sound. Valvoline came out with restore and protect 5w30. I tried it over 3 oil changes every 3k miles. The stubborn tick remained. I went old school and added a half quart of ATF during the last oil change and the tick was gone in the first two starts. Maybe 20 minutes of run time. Im very disappointed in valvoline restore and protect. It's likely a good oil but it really doesnt do what they claim.
I've driven about 2,000 miles with the valvoline R&P the engine seems quite and no burning of the oil I will continue to use this product was only using mobile one. I'm at 216,000 miles on my 2013 elantra coupe. I love the car hope it lasts another 200,000
Started running this on our LS460 too. 2008 with 70k miles. Wasn't burning any oil yet. Figured it would be good preventive. My only concern with this oil is that hopefully whatever is cleaning the carbon does not react badly to older seals, since usually strong solvents don't play well with old rubber. Time will tell.
Haven’t noticed any ill effects on seals, Toyota’s are know for pretty solid gaskets expect the high pressure pump gaskets on the valve covers that tend to fail. Thanks for watching!
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your results. I got some of this stuff for my mother's Camry (it is consuming a small amount of oil) and hope I will see similar results.
I saw this in the store not long ago and was curious to give it a try. I haven't noticed problems with my engine, but I did wonder how something like this might support my engine that's now over 100k miles.
@@Fix-it-tony I'm not convinced that's the case. A lot of the carbon buildup is due to oil vapor coming through the PCV valve. This may reduce future deposits.
If you’re not putting this oil in a new car, I definitely recommend that you change your oil filter every 200 - 300 miles, because if it removes any sludge, it’s coming down to the filter and it will clog your oil filter. After you change your filter two or three times and you opening it and seeing that it’s not full of sludge then you can go to changing it with your regular oil change intervals however, if you don’t know how dirty your engine is and it has a lot of buildup. It’s going to come down into that filter.
Excessively sludged engines should be manually cleaned by removing the valve covers and oil pan before using this product. This is why I scope the engine first to verify it’s a stuck ring issue. This product works slowly over multiple oil changes so the risk of clogged oil filters is very low. So far have not had this issued new video with update coming this weekend. Thanks for watching!
@@Fix-it-tonyI thought this stuff clogged my oil filter! I was right @ 3,000 miles on my 1st run with R&P when all of a sudden I had zero oil pressure on the gauge...it turned out to be a faulty oil pressure sensor which apparently is a fairly common failure on my engine...I actually re-installed the oil filter I was using after replacing it w/ anew one didn't fix my problem, lol! It was fine still 👌 Hell, it better be w/ the $$$ I spend on 'em. I always use the ep ones that claim they can filter for up to 10k miles and I just replace them @ 5k anyway...
If you have a GDI engine, this should be used at the first oil change and continuously thereafter. Haven't seen 1 yet that doesn't 'use' oil, no matter the make or mileage.
I have this same car with 186k miles. Just changed my oil this week. Next oil change I'll switch to this oil and see what happens with the low oil warning next time
Currently at 212K miles on my 2009 Camry with the "oil burner" 2AZ-FXE engine. No longer burns oil. Befor e the Valvoline R&P oil i would burn 1 quart every 3K mile drain and fill. I followed the instruction to drain and fill four times and started in early April 2024. Just did my 4th drain and fill this week and oil was very clean and right at the full mark before the drain. So we started at 200K burning oil and now after 50% city stop and go with the rest being highway driving only change element was the use of Valvoline R&P. Note: power has increased perhaps due to greater compression. This is the real deal product for any owner of any Toyota 2AZ-FXE looking to reduce or eliminate oil burning due to the oil control ring design defect in that engine.
@Fix-it-tony I mean just to reducing the noise. It's weird I got piston slap with my 2022 Hyundai. I do change oil every 5k miles or 6 months, but why I got piston slap. Is it because of thin oil that I use? The dealers recommended 0W20 oil
Someone on another vid said theres so much cleaning additives in it that it can mess up/dry out seals/gaskets. Have u heard of that or would that likely be possible with this oil?
@@Fix-it-tony Thanks for the response! That’s interesting. I’ve heard a lot about Valvoline’s cleaning abilities. Do you think Penzzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum has other benefits that make them a good option, even without the same deposit cleaning power?
@@turo3066 in my 2021 Telluride, I did 5000 mile dealer oil changes with synthetic and an oil test looked good at the end of that. I switched to changing oil myself with Restore and Protect and the oil got more dirty within 500 miles telling me my previous regimen was building up deposits. I recommend this oil.
I was looking at videos of the oil and then saw your car, I have the exact same car in the same color but just 2 years older XD. Btw, the car looks a million times better if you paint the rims black!
I just did my oil today in both vehicles as recommended by The Oil Geek. Changed from Mobile One to Valvoline Rand P. Pretty sure my engi ns are clean , I change my oil every 1500 miles. never over 3000. miles. The engines sound quitter and more smooth. My Kia is pretty clattery anyway. It sounds smoother.
You probably need to have your valve lash adjusted on that Kia! Most of their v6 engines have bucket lifters that use shims instead of hydraulic ones that adjust automatically...Kia recommends at least checking them every 60,000 miles or so as part of regular maintenance...
Thank you for posting this. I just purchased a used 2009 Pontiac vibe (toyota matrix) with the 2.4l, for my daughter. I just did the first oil change with conventional synthetic. Ill be paying attention to her rate of oil burn, if any. Then, if we are seeing any burn, ill try this Valvoline for sure. Was thinking, in the first oil change with clean and Restore, ill NOT change the filter (at first), put in the new Valvoline, run it for about 200-300 miles,.and THEN change the filter with a new one. That way i can use the older filter to accumulate most of the potential gunk this new oil might break free. For years, i pretty much used Mobil 1 on all our vehicles. At times, i would use Valvoline synthetic, and most recently, super tech synthetic. If this new clean and Restore helps, it will become my new go to.
I have a 2007 Vibe with 260k miles on it. It’s the 1.8 L. In 5k intervals, it only goes down 1/8 inch on the dipstick. So this engine doesn’t really use oil.
@@slalomking 1.8l typically do not burn. The problem lies in the 2.4l Toyota, through about 2009. I believe that the issue was fixed later in 2009 or 2010, so im not yet sure if mine was or was not affected
Update, i calculated about 1 quart of burn/consumption about every 1000 on her orginal oil change of supertech full synthetic, over almost 4000 miles. We were careful to add a quart every time she got down to the bottom mark, on dipstick. This is on a 2.4L toyota powertrain with about 164000 miles, currently. The culprit is likely oil ring carbon deposits (on low tension rings). A week ago, I removed the old filter and supertech oil (which was still very clean), and replaced it with Valvoline restore and protect. It may take some time but im hoping for a reduction oil consumption rates. I'll try to add updates. Btw, I've heard such great things about this oil that I have already installed it in my high mileage 2010 nissan altima, and my sons 2006 impala. Neither car burn any oil, but I figured it would be a great product to help keep the internals in top shape. My wife's newer equinox will get it next time too.
@@louofm1 one of our other cars is a 2003 Camry it just crossed 300,000 miles 2.4L engine. It uses a qt every 1500. I bought the car used off a shady car lot for $7500 with 131k on it on 2013, I figured if it made 200k I’d of gotten my money’s worth. The valve cover needed replacement at about 260k. I opened it up and about had a heard attack ! It had 1/4 inch of sludge over everything. The bozo that had it before must of never changed the oil. I wiped off the sludge I could see on top of valve train. So now that this new Valvoline oil has come out the clean and restore, I thought about using it on this car or should I just leave it alone since I’ve crossed 300k now. The car is incredible, it still runs and drives great !
I recently changed the oil in my 2018 Kia Sportage with the Valvoline Restore and Protect. The car has 81000 miles and burns a quart every 1500 miles. Hoping this product helps!
Hope this helps, the Kia and Hyundai engines have a mechanical defect that causes oil consumption in some cases. Huge class action lawsuit, extended warranty’s 8 years 150k miles on most 4 cylinder models. Thanks for watching!
Hola, entonces a los dos cambios de aceite notaste los resultados?.. cuando se usas ese aceite, cada cuantas millas es recomendable hacer el siguiente cambio Y a cuántos cambios de aceite se consideran para que limpie el motor.. Mi carro tiene 140,000 millas y aunque no quema aceite, parece que esta un poco sucio. Agradecería tu respuesta!
Can't wait until the Oil Geek compares Valvoline Restore and Protect to the Amsoil line-up of oils. All of the comparison tests I've found only use Valvoline Full Synthetic, not the Restore and Protect formula.
On old cars, 2002 Mitsubishi galant w 235k, is it ok to start using a synthetic on a vehicle w no leaks. i might go up to 10w30 val restore vs 5w30 conventional. I am burning oil but not a qt in 4k miles.
Do you think this is worth switching from the Mobil 1 full synthetic to this oil? The Mobil 1 also has cleaners in it and its rated at 20k miles, however I always go up to 5K miles before changing the oil.
Both are good oils, the Valvoline offers a better package for preventing and breaking down buildup. Valvoline is also cheaper, I’ve never had an issue with it. Thanks for watching!
How about the valves? I have just got a used Subaru in February, that has direct injection . I hear the valves get caked … Will it keep those clean too ?
Unfortunately no, direct injection engines need manually walnut valve cleaning on a regular basis. My LS460 has dual injection, port and direct injection, this gives the best of both worlds and keeps the valves clean. Thanks for watching!
@@johnf.6942 With the oil vapors circulating thru the crankcase vent system into the intake there should be some prevention of buildup or even removal of some of the buildup on the valves over time with this oil.
every 50k-60k mi. but it is in the owners manual. also, look into a catch can system (single or dual). I just installed the radium dual can on my wrx at 72k miles. I probably should have done this 70k miles ago back in 2019 ☹️. walnut blasting or Subaru valve clean liquid will help w/intake valve deposits. on my wrx, I like using a low SAPS (ACAE C3), non-Resource Conserving oil like Penzoil Euro-L or Mobil1 ESP 5w-30. only time I've used Subaru oil was the first 4 oil changes...since then (last 4 years) it's been low SAPS oil as much as possible...
Remember, Top Tier means they have an adequate amount of detergents for keeping your fuel system clean, and it does not necessarily have the same anti-wear additives as some gasolines (such as Shell's V-Power).
maybe its me but Ive owned 10 new vehicles and put 300k on some. not one of them ever dropped/burned oil level in 5k, not one. The other issue i see here, is why would an oil that supposed to clean the engine, look clean...it should be filthy. and Blackstone labs agrees and says an oil that's getting black quickly is not bad oil but oil that's doing its job cleaning. pennsoil is one oil that cleans well, and Mobil 1, has been known to clean well, i personally think Castrol edge is the best oil out there for protection purposes
This was after one treatment and the oil was black. Cars driven everyday or less likely to have carbon issues. It’s the short drive cars early in their lives that run into these short of issues and cars with low tension rings like mine. Thanks for watching!
Where did you get the information about boron being the active ingredient that is responsible for its success at cleaning? Im trying to better understand the molecular science behind the additives. I hear there's no ester in this formula
Boron is a super slick molecule that is smaller than the bonds that build deposits so it can break them up. Most anti stiction additives are made of boron for the same reason. Thanks for watching.
Try it it's definitely a new tier oil, the difference in smoothness is night and day after the first start up. Mobile will eventually reverse engineer a competitive product. Valvoline was just the first to market. Unknown chemical consensus on the Internet. Eventually the science will be explained. Welcome to 2024. Just beware of build up in the oil filter if your engine is neglected
@@outletadvantage6388Where is the majority of discussion on this product happening? Link to forum please. Also does the functional components of this oil exist separately from anywhere as an additive? It seems like this would function much better as an additive than premixed with oil, which is limited to certain viscosities.
@@Null-o7j the majority of the discussion is in RUclips comments from the major oil channels, you've got Ford boss me, the oil guy (can't remember his name), and a few other reviewers. Anecdotal information is what I base my suggestions along with my own personal experience. The additive package is proprietary, meaning it's not fully released how it is they are accomplishing the results we are all witnessing. Only a matter of time before a competitor takes notice of the craze and begins reverse engineering a similar solution. For now, this has been the best consumer grade oil I've tried. Smoother engine, quieter idle, more throttle response, 5-10% increased mpg, and the oil seems to be cleaning inside the valve cover. Oil is darker after only 1200 miles compared to Mobil 1 EP or similar high end consumer oils. And the price is a bargain for performance, $30/5 quart. Cheaper than high end oils and comparable to the cheapest super tech oil available.
Started using this 2,000 miles ago on. RAV4 with a 2FE-AZ engine. So far, oil consumption has been only marginally reduced. I suspect it takes 10,000 to fully test the theory
How many miles did it take to start to reduce the oil consumption for you? And what's the lowest miles youve heard or seen before they stopped consuming oils?
@Fix-it-tony so did you notice anything different prior to that? I'm also running r&p. But I wasn't burning any oil. I did however have some timing chain rattle show up at the 150k mile mark. From my understanding this can be from the hydraulic tensioner clogged. So I'm wondering if that will increase in tension as time goes on. I only put 800 miles on it so far though.
I drive my car everyday for business work use It’s a 2021 civic With nearly 50 k miles Runs like I just took it out of the dealer. I’ve only ever used the dealership oil, ultra platinum twice and have Castrol edge sitting in my house waiting to be put in just cuz it was on roll back. Would it be a good idea to try this oil out?
@@Fix-it-tony so is it an oil that you use a few times to cleanse your engine then you continuously use it or perhaps maybe stick it start using like advance or extended protection valvoline. I’ve used ultra platinum which seemed good and my engine is smooth but idk if it’s true that it can cause damage later on to the catalytic converter and other things that I don’t really know what they are tbh
Any high capacity high quality filter like Napa Gold, Wix, Mobil one, Fram synthetic. If the oil turned really dark after change the filter before the oil change interval to be safe. Thanks for watching!
I have a 1997 toyota 4runner and never losing a drop of oil every 5k miles when i do oil change. But notice when putting oil in, the inside looks a little carbon build up. I gently removed some with a plastic pick and was wondering if it will clean up engine.
@@Fix-it-tony You just stated that it's $24 at WalMart. Now you're stating you bought it on the Valvoline web site in a 5 gallon box. You're just a bit too much of a politician to be credible at this point.
My 2010 accord v6 was burning 1qt every 1k miles. After the 1st oil change its down to 1/2 qt every 4k miles. Been using Valvoline for decades & this Restore and Protect oil is a game changer.
That’s awesome, thanks for watching!
Do you have a VCM muzzler installed on your v6 accord? My 2005 honda odyssey was also burning 1qt every 1k with vcm. After installing VCM tuner, oil consumption reduced drastically as it only lost about 0.5qt at 5k.
@@kevinfernando3167 yes i did install the muzzler at about 90k. Consumption actually stayed the same. Im at 205k now & the Restore & Protect has almost taken it down to almost zero.
Just started using R&P in my 2003 Accord with 225k miles, it burns about 1/2-1qt every 1000 miles. Hoping this cuts down on oil consumption.
Son has a 2009 accord v6, problem was so bad that he was fouling out spark plugs on the back bank after about a week or so. Honda indicated this was known issue and only real resolution was to re-ring the back bank at about a $4k cost...suggested using BG products to buy some time. Used BG EPR treatment for 2 oil changes in a row, oil burning went away, spark plugs quit fouling, and that was 3 years ago. Going to suggest he uses this restore and protect going forward, though, seems like it works well.
We need project farm to test the wear protection though and viscosity at extreme temps
He is the best at it for sure! Thanks for watching!
Testing engine oil protection without an engine is pretty pointless
@@las3k91 no
Pure snake oil use 2oz of transmission fluid at every oil change keep the damn engine clean and 5000 between oil changes is to long get that
I started off using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 in my 2017 Toyota Camry with the 2.5 with 18,900 on it. When I got up to 180,000 miles. I started using Valvoline Restore and Protect 0W-20 and I noticed right away that the engine was super quiet and when I removed the valve cover. The inside of the engine looked like brand new. Even the cylinder bores showed no signs of wear. I'll definitely keep using this oil.
I drive a toyota with the 3.5 v6 and i boticed the immediate quiet abd smoothness 9f the wngine with restore and protect. Just 500 miles in and its atill great. Better mpg too
Awesome, thanks for watching!
Awesome, thanks for watching!
So you don’t like pennzoil ultra platinum?
@@vandiyplant921 I didn't say that I didn't like Pennzoil Ultra Platinum anymore. Don't get me wrong, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is really good oil. I just noticed my engine was even quieter and seemed like it had more power after using Valvoline Restore and Protect. Both Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Valvoline Restore and Protect keeps your engine clean with 5k oil change intervals. However, for my application, Valvoline is a better fit. That's why oil analysis is so important.
3 oil changes ago at 3000 mile oil changes. Kia rio 190,000 now . Went to 5-30 w. My oil consumption is down also. I won't share all the maintenance I've done recently. I did alot of cleaning when I replaced injector o rings, cleaning of tops of valves with some crc, new valve cover gasket, intake, and throttle body gasket. I'm really pleased with the oil. I did a compression test before all this and one was lower than minimum required so I know the rings are worn as normal at this milage. I learned so much by jumping into my new car care mindset. At 66 years old I'm excited to learn more and more mechanical work i want to dig into
Awesome results, make sure to share an update as time goes on! Thanks for watching!
Yeah my 2016 Kia Rio burns oil. Probably 1qt every 1k miles. Looking forward to trying this oil.
I'm on my fourth oil change on AGM 5.3.
It has rotted 400000 miles. My engine is as quiet as it has ever been. At 2000 miles, when I check my oil, it is still golden.
I did have some smoking when I first started it app, but that has gone away 100%. This is good oil
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!
I use it in my 3.5 ecoboost and it is great performing oil. I'll be doing my 3rd oil charge some time in Oct using this. i check my oil every two weeks, did not have any loss of oil prior but, with traditional synthetic oil, it would darken around 3k. now it really doesn't get dark until I am approaching 5k. good luck with yours, kudos. nice video.
That’s awesome, thanks for watching!
color does not indicate dirty or old or bad. different base stocks react differently to heat...
That engine is meant to fail 🤦🏽♂️. It has timing chain issues.
Just hearing the excitement in your voice makes me excited to use this on my 03 Camry. It burns roughly a quart every 600-700 miles.
Your car is a great candidate, watch your oil condition, if it dark change it and the filter more often. Will take 3-5 changes to work. Thanks for watching!
@@Fix-it-tony I used epr to flush it out a few weeks ago. Changed the oil twice since then to make sure it’s all out. But know that stuff is good but will only get out so much. I’m about to do a 3rd oil change in 3 weeks lol. But I know it needs this
As The Care Car Nut shows in multiple videos.. the piston rings seize and cause wear on the cylinder walls thus causing oil consumption. Do not expect this to do anything for you.
180 ,000 Toyota rav 4. Need to replace 1 qt every 1,100 miles. Watched other videos regarding this oil and on my first oil drain. Only 500 miles driven since the oil drain. Attempting to see if I can reduce oil consumption. Will update after second drain and fill
Thanks for your video😊
Definitely worth a try, won’t fix mechanical damage, but works very well for carbon buildup. Thanks you watching!
2.4?
@@sbond1963 my 2.5 burns oil, going to try this r&p oil 🤞
Any update?
I am very impressed at the look of the oil after 2k miles. Good job on the video.
Thank you for watching!
I've got the same car, 07 ls460. 165k miles on it. I was thinking i was going to have to sell it. I was watching crazy vids on how to fix with solvents, but gonna do that. Then saw a vid on "the motor oil geek" channel about this oil. Tried it. Can't believe the change. Have done 2 changes so far and it is running better. In his vids he actually visits Valvoline test center. 👍👍👊👊🤘🤘
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Were you going to be honest with the new buyer or deceive them??
What do you mean? Just driving the car showed smoke. You asking a question like that is interesting. Questioning another's integrity. 🤔
@@MrAmk3rdwhat smoke?
@@Fix-it-tonySame burning oil all these Toyota engines blow due to stuck piston rings at 100k plus. This oil fixed that.
This oil is fantastic, period. I was very skeptical until I watched Oil geek actually go down to the lab and did analysis. I switched and Made sure to do an oil change every 4k miles until it became clean. My purolater boss was full of crap from the engine, now that its clean, this oil will prevent all that buildup and keep it running another 100k miles.
That’s awesome thanks for watching!
Can I use in place of 5w30 oil 👍
My car was not necessarily a burner, but what this oil did fix was the blowby. 100% gone. I used to get oil and blowby pressure spurting out the oil fill cap when I opened it while it was running, not anymore. I'm completely sold.
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!
Great video. Our prius drinks oil like a sailor. I'm going to use this on our next oil change
Cheap way to solve a common problem, thanks for watching!
Depending on how bad your consumption is, you might have a bore scoring/bore wear issue which this will not fix. This is a common problem on higher mileage Priuses due to low tension rings and 10K+ mile oil changes (both due to government regulations, you know, the people who aren't experts on anything making laws on everything.) If this fixes your problem, start doing 5K mile oil changes (yes, even with synthetic). 10K+ mile oil changes aren't good for any engine's longevity, regardless of the type of oil used.
10k mile oil Change very crazy to me, my mechanic in Türkiye he says 8k km max change intervals makes the engine million km and in around 7k i see in dipstick darkish oil. My car avensis Gasoline&lpg 3zzfe btw@@jdm2gdm
Never knew sailors drank oil 🛢
My daughters Prius has 200k miles it also consumes a lot of oil. So I picked up a quart of this stuff to replace the oil that her car consumed and it has helped slow the oil burning. So her next oil change I’ll use this stuff, I’ve tried Berryman b12 piston soak that didn’t work
I used this on my 98 Camry with 256,000 MI and so far I've had great results with it. Even the varnish on the dipstick is gone and it's clean like new! Great oil will be using it from now on!
That’s awesome, need every extra mile now a days, keep that car alive! Thanks for watching!
I suppose that thing will go over 300k now.
I've been running this oil for the past 18k miles in my 2016 Highlander and I stuck a borescope into the valve cover and it looks like a brand new engine in there! Don't know what else it's doing further in but it's working on the top end for sure! Same goes for my 1998 454 in my RV which I've run now for 6k miles....looks like new in the valve train!
Awesome results, you can pull a spark plug and check your cylinder walls, the cleaner the better. Thanks for watching!
Did you stick the borescope in before using that oil? Might off already been clean.
If its that clean i hope it doesnt destroy engine metals.
@@juliosdiy3206it’s a custom boron molecule from what oil analysis have would. Boron is a small slippery molecule that lubricates while it breakdown up sludge and carbon build up. Super safe to use and effective. Thanks for watching!
@@ureasmith3049I didn’t, but the issue was carbon on the piston rings. They are low tension and carbon does get in there, this oil breaks the carbon up and frees up the rings. Thanks for watching!
Glad it worked for you. Rings are an issue with these cars in the 2007’s, along with valve guides. If it returns, remove the air cleaner snorkel and open the throttle plate…oil pooling and tracking up into the snorkel are a BIG SIGN on these cars that the rings are shot and you’re getting blow bye past the rings. Love these cars but man when they go bad they go bad. Happy the oil took care of those rings!
Oil getting through the PVC is all bad, luckily I don’t have that issue. Thanks for watching!
In the next week or two I need to do the oil pan gasket, rear main seal, and front crank seal on my 1979 Dodge W150. It's got a 360 V8, and at least 111k miles(5 digit odometer). When I did the valve covers, the rockers were pitch black. I'm not surprised seeing as how it used to be a USDA truck. Government vehicles have surprisingly poor maintenance. It'll be interesting to see how well this oil will clean it all up.
Definitely worth sharing your results here. Thanks for watching!
Excellent report on the new Valvoline product, sir. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum was my 1st. choice, but I keep getting positive reports regarding Valvoline! Let's see what happens! Now may I suggest you start using Shell V-Power Premium gas, and check how it goes!
Hello, fellow Motor Oil Geek viewer.
Let us know how it goes, thanks for watching!
Tony that is excellent! My brother has a 2008 Lexus LS 460 and I will definitely share this video with him. We started using restore and protect in our 2012 GMC Acadia on the last oil change. The engine in our Acadia is a 3.6L dohc direct injection V6. We will be using restore and protect 5W-30 from here on out. Between using this oil and GDI / IVD intake cleaner for the intake valves, I imagine our Acadia will have many trouble free miles. You are definitely correct that Valvoline R&P works. Be blessed! Matthew
That’s cool, let us know how it goes! Thanks for watching!
@@Fix-it-tonyI will keep you updated. I still need to share your video with my brother so he can start using Valvoline R&P in all his Toyota/Lexus vehicles. They have a 2014 Sequoia (5.7L) and 2002 Sequoia (4.7L).
Just found out from my brother at Thanksgiving that their LS460 is consuming about a quart every 1000 miles so I told him to do the VRP oil change ASAP.
Hi Tony. Thanks for this video. I'd like to suggest you tilt the Vevor monitor so we can see it clearer and avoid glare. Most importantly, though, is that metal bracket on top of the battery is not a good idea ;-)
I am now downloading the videos from the Vevor directly to my phone for future videos. Thanks for watching!

Let us know how it goes! Thanks for watching!
howd it go
I use it in our 3.5 ecoboost navigator L. We went from average 15mpg to 19-20 mpg. Less exhaust smoke and the motor runs ultra quiet. The turbos stay slightly cooler now as well. I am hoping this keeps the screens clean for the turbo oil lines plus, keep the cam phasers oiled and clean quite well. I will be doing analysis in a few weeks. It’s certainly a game changer that may well save the ICE vehicles for those of us that cannot afford EV options. This is cheap insurance.
That’s awesome, thanks for watching!
On second oil change 2000 miles in on my 3000 change… First run I did 3400… Seems to have done very well for cutting back the oil usage in between oil changes… The only thing I have not seen a change in is high speed long-distance trips… 70//80 miles an hour on interstate for 90 minutes… I still burn the same amount as I did use the cheaper oils blah blah blah blah… I'm gonna go another round and I'm going to determine if that's changing at all or something that way ... isn't going to change etc.… So far been a great experience ...great product ..great vids👌🎯
Let us now how it goes, worth doing a compression check if you continue to see consumption on the highway. Thanks for watching!
will do ...thanks!!
I have a 2008 Scion tC with the 2AZ-FE engine known for burning oil. I was burning a quart every 200 miles or so. Also have to admit that I was just adding cheap gas station brand oil as needed, not doing a full change on schedule with that consumption rate. I did a full change with this a week ago before two long road trips. In those road trips, I probably put 1000 miles on. It burned 4-5 quarts of R and P! But here we are a week later, and the oil is black already even though it’s been topped off in that time. No doubt the engine is filthy inside and I suppose it’s worth doing another change with the new oil as black as it is. Hopefully this can slow down the consumption!!
Definitely change the oil more often until the deposits start to clear. Going to take 3-4 oil changes to see any difference. Thanks for watching!
2.5 quarts/5K miles in my 2016 2ZR-FE Corolla after 100K miles. Changed to 5w30 at 200K. Now only 1 quart/5K miles. First run of Valvoline R&P about 1350 miles ago!
Ya my daily is a 2003 civic with 198,000 miles. Use to burn 1 quart between oil changes. This is the first time I’ve used R&P Valvoline oil. I’m at the mileage for my next oil change I haven’t had to add any oil this time.
Awesome, let us know here, thanks for watching!
My 2016 2zrfe has 119,000 miles, and it burned a ½ quart of oil in 5,000 miles when I used Valvoline. Went back to Castrol Edge, and it didn't burn any oil.
Do you know what the oil change interval was for the first 100k miles?
How did it affect your fuel mileage?
Thanks for the video. Miquestion about this oil is. If it is cleaning the engine and the oil looks clean on the dip stick, where is all the dirt going?
Clean is objective, the oil is carrying broken down deposits into the oil filter. Need to change the oil more often if it starts looking dark if you have an excessively dirty engine. Thanks for watching!
Seems like Valvoline hit a homerun with their latest formula!
100%, thanks for watching!
I am absolutely sold on this oil. And I’m a Castrol boy. I will be using this oil on all of my cars from now on.
FYI, Castrol is terrible oil. This was the "go to" oil for the German car guys but years of use (and oil analysis) has shown that it's a trash oil.
@@jdm2gdmwow really? And what about their transmission oils?
@@jdm2gdm I regularly use Castrol edge and it’s a lot smoother than Mobil 1 in my experience. I also use their GTX high mileage in my old clunkers, great there as well. GTX HM is the best conventional/syn blend oil out there.
@@MrSamPhoenix Not sure on the trans oil. On my Audis, I use OEM trans fluid but I would also consider Liqui Moly (and I'm not a Liqui Moly fanboy, I think their motor oils are decent but not "the best")
@@adanlopez1011 Depending on your car, it might be ok. If you're in a low power, low torque naturally aspirated motor, practically any syn engine oil will be fine (so long as you change it every 5K miles or once a year, whichever comes first). For the turbo, high output folks, I wouldn't use Castrol personally if engine longevity is your goal. I use Driven (Gibbs) and Rowe motor oil (but also have used Pennzoil Ultra Euro and Mobil 1 Euro...mostly use the Mobil 1 as a "after flush" oil just cuz it's cheap and good 'nuff, especially the newer API SP formulation)
I recently bought an 03 Ford Taurus that was extremely low miles. I discovered that it had many hours of idling time on its 3.0 motor. I’ve replaced the entire ignition system, and I just changed over to Restore & Protect 5w20. I’m hopeful it cures its oil consumption as well. I lost a pint in 1500 miles. So I just changed it out to stay ahead of the issue.
Low mileage engines are usually suffer from deposit buildup and rust. This should give you good results. Thanks for watching!
This R&P “Synthetic” Oil performance is outstanding by any other comparison! I am now using in brand new 2024 Ascent DI Turbo… 11k miles (smoother, quieter), then 14k miles- 2nd “R&P” change/fill engine is now quieter than new!! Oil drain was medium/dark color.
FYI: 1st Drain @ 800mi.(Mobil 1), 2nd. @1776mi., 3rd @4480 (Pennzoil Platinum 10W30),… 6th.& 7th. @11/14 kmi.(Valvoline R&P 5W30).
“Severe Duty” driving conditions require shorter drain intervals… this includes “Turbos”, high ambient temps (Texas), Stop & Go traffic, etc.

Thanks for sharing this. I also own new Subaru (2.5 Crosstrek) and I am concerned about long term carbon build up in this GDI engine. I also do my own maintenance (because I have stealership trust issues😂) I am also using the severe maintenance schedule because of my driving habits. It's obvious that you are comfortable using this oil in a new car. I thought it may have been premature to start on a new car.
@fixittony your 5.3 is using oil bz of the pvc system. Install a oil catch can and youll see. Also check into updated valve cover
Has the updated valve cover, no oil in the intake at all. Puddling is normal with a PVC problem, this engine for sure had stuck rings, common on early LS engines. Thanks for watching!
Valvoline is following Schaeffer's on this! Schaeffer's has had a superior detergent package for years.
Not widely available, but what ever works with proven results I’m down for. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been singing this oil’s praises to everyone I know and online, people think I’m being paid to say I love it and it’s working in my oil-consuming Hyundai. If all Hyundai owners used only this oil from the beginning, I guarantee we would see a drastic drop in engine failures.
Same here, not sponsored, just want everyone to know this stuff works. Thanks for watching!
This oil would not stop or retard bearing failure on the YF models, it would help with blow by and oil consumption on the newer engines.
@@6atlantisFair point! I’m no certified mechanic, and I’m sure you’re right. I just know that Valvoline R&P is making my cars run better. I’ve always used high-end full synthetic high mileage oil but this is on a whole different level.

Great oil comparison video available here on RUclips. It's titled something like "Toyota OEM oil vs Mobil 1 vs Penzoil vs Amsoil" and the guy sends off new samples to have them tested in a lab. Toyota uses Mobil 1 oil but they have a completely different additive package in their oil. Toyota OEM oil has 10x the amount of the dry lubrication additive molybdenum compared to the next closest competitor.
I was just looking for an oil that would unstick the rings and this oil did that. Thanks for watching!

I have an 08 Scion tC with the 2AZ-FE. Burns a quart maybe every 200 miles. Also started this last week. After a week, it burned 5 quarts of R and P and the oil in the engine is black.
My LS460 eats oil so I have to check it every 1000 miles, but I have close to 300,000 miles on it. I’ve been using this oil for a few months now and haven’t seen a change as of yet.
Have you checked to make sure you high pressure fuel pumps are not leaking. That was a problem on mine that is hard to notice because the oil would hit the exhaust manifolds and burn off quickly. Thanks for watching!
@@Fix-it-tony I changed them about a year and a half ago. I could see the passenger side leaking so I changed them both. They’re completely dry without any leaks. I may need to change my valve cover gaskets, even though I don’t see any leaks doesn’t mean they’re not a culprit.
Bruh it could be worse, you could be me with a 2019 Kia Sportage drinking 1qt every 500 miles. After two oil changes with the Valvoline Restore and Protect, some 8000 miles or so, I'm finally starting to seem improvement. I'm still at 1qt/1000 miles starting my third round with this stuff. It's great, I love it and refuse to use anything else but there's a limit to what it can do. But with that said, be patient and enjoy the process.
@STATUSTANK Good Lord, how many miles you got on your vehicle eating all that oil?
After many videos later and research, i finally bought this oil for my 2017 tahoe with 106k miles and gave this a try. Hopefully it treats her well.
Works very well on LS engines, let us know how it goes! Thanks for watching!
@ i saw another video similar to this product, probably the first one i saw last month. They said that around the 4th oil change is where its "clean". Not sure how accurate that is but i will post another comment by then to leave feedback!!
I bought a 2013 Tacoma V6 with 30,000 miles in 2020. After a few thousand miles oil would start to get lower on the dipstick after changing the oil, not enough to be concerned but it bothered me enough. It never had blue smoke from the tailpipe either or leaks. I’m wondering since it must of sat for a while, the rings didn’t get seated enough and it would burn oil a little. I could go 3k to 4k and the oil on the dipstick would be somewhere between the middle of the stick. So it wasn’t excessive. I’ve since sold it, but should have kept it.
100% should have kept it, great truck. Thanks for watching!
I recall the late Tom Cahill, automotive tester ,writer for mechanix illustrated magazine once saying that engines develope natural carbon seals over time. I wonder if removing them by using restore could cause problems? Just a thought.
On much older higher mileage engine this can happen. Some people are experiencing oil leaks after using this product. But these are repairs that probably needed to happen anyway, cheaper to replace seals than an entire engine. Thanks for watching!
That makes sense. Thanks!
Can't wait to give this a go. Every video Ive seen by independent reviews like yours says the same thing.
BTW it might be $24 for 5 quarts in the US but in Australia it's retail price is $120 🙄
Definitely worth trying! Thanks for watching!
Ah, that's because you're on the southern hemisphere where everything is upside down / backwards. Your $120 is actually $021. It's all about perspective mate! :)

So a question is should we use this oil all the time? Or just every other oil change?
Honestly is a great oil to use all the time because it prevents buildup of deposits after it cleans them. Thanks for watching!
How many time you should you use this oil? Do you have to use it couple of times and then switch to regular oil? Or use it forever?
I plan on using it for now on in all my cars. Quality oil that breaks down deposits and keeps them away. Thanks for watching!
I’m using the R&R and a polyethylamide (PEA) fuel additive… oil and fuel consumption down after 2 changes in a 2013 Audi A5. Started using it on my GFs Subaru… starting to use less oil after 1 change… it’s pretty good. I’d recommend it on any engine.
Will have to check it out, thanks for watching!
Subaus thats what im talking about they like to drink a qrt every oil change.
I have a motorhome with a GM 8.1 v8. It has had a slight lifter tick when first started that goes away in under a minute. I tried several additives trying to correct this ticking sound. Valvoline came out with restore and protect 5w30. I tried it over 3 oil changes every 3k miles. The stubborn tick remained. I went old school and added a half quart of ATF during the last oil change and the tick was gone in the first two starts. Maybe 20 minutes of run time. Im very disappointed in valvoline restore and protect. It's likely a good oil but it really doesnt do what they claim.
ATF is very aggressive and can spin a bearing, I would have tried Marvel Mystery Oil if Valvoline didn’t work. Thanks for watching!
I've driven about 2,000 miles with the valvoline R&P the engine seems quite and no burning of the oil I will continue to use this product was only using mobile one. I'm at 216,000 miles on my 2013 elantra coupe. I love the car hope it lasts another 200,000
I hope it keeps working for you, thanks for watching!
Started running this on our LS460 too. 2008 with 70k miles. Wasn't burning any oil yet. Figured it would be good preventive. My only concern with this oil is that hopefully whatever is cleaning the carbon does not react badly to older seals, since usually strong solvents don't play well with old rubber. Time will tell.
From 2008 till today and you need more time ¿¿?? wth
Haven’t noticed any ill effects on seals, Toyota’s are know for pretty solid gaskets expect the high pressure pump gaskets on the valve covers that tend to fail. Thanks for watching!
Have you noticed the smell from new Restore and Protect? I used it for the first time yesterday, in 2007 Honda Civic with 155k.
Not really, what did you smell? Thanks for watching!
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your results. I got some of this stuff for my mother's Camry (it is consuming a small amount of oil) and hope I will see similar results.
Please let us know here, thanks for watching!
I saw this in the store not long ago and was curious to give it a try. I haven't noticed problems with my engine, but I did wonder how something like this might support my engine that's now over 100k miles.
Definitely worth using as an everyday oil on your daily car. Thanks for watching!
Well now I want to try this oil in my 2001 and 2005 Highlanders!
Definitely worth trying! Thanks for watching!
Great video! I wonder if this will help with deposits on the valves in a GDI engine…
Will not help carbon buildup on valves. The only fix for that is a walnut blast every 60-80k miles. Thanks for watching!
@@Fix-it-tony
I'm not convinced that's the case. A lot of the carbon buildup is due to oil vapor coming through the PCV valve. This may reduce future deposits.
Any before images or images of the pistons/inside cylinders?
Check out my CRC video, the oil does not clean the combustion chamber. CRC does that job, thanks for watching!
If you’re not putting this oil in a new car, I definitely recommend that you change your oil filter every 200 - 300 miles, because if it removes any sludge, it’s coming down to the filter and it will clog your oil filter. After you change your filter two or three times and you opening it and seeing that it’s not full of sludge then you can go to changing it with your regular oil change intervals however, if you don’t know how dirty your engine is and it has a lot of buildup. It’s going to come down into that filter.
Excessively sludged engines should be manually cleaned by removing the valve covers and oil pan before using this product. This is why I scope the engine first to verify it’s a stuck ring issue. This product works slowly over multiple oil changes so the risk of clogged oil filters is very low. So far have not had this issued new video with update coming this weekend. Thanks for watching!
@@Fix-it-tonyI thought this stuff clogged my oil filter! I was right @ 3,000 miles on my 1st run with R&P when all of a sudden I had zero oil pressure on the gauge...it turned out to be a faulty oil pressure sensor which apparently is a fairly common failure on my engine...I actually re-installed the oil filter I was using after replacing it w/ anew one didn't fix my problem, lol! It was fine still 👌 Hell, it better be w/ the $$$ I spend on 'em. I always use the ep ones that claim they can filter for up to 10k miles and I just replace them @ 5k anyway...
If you have a GDI engine, this should be used at the first oil change and continuously thereafter. Haven't seen 1 yet that doesn't 'use' oil, no matter the make or mileage.
Absolutely, it been a proven product for GDI engines. Thanks for watching!
I have this same car with 186k miles. Just changed my oil this week. Next oil change I'll switch to this oil and see what happens with the low oil warning next time
Good way to test this oil, let us know know how it goes! Thanks for watching!
Currently at 212K miles on my 2009 Camry with the "oil burner" 2AZ-FXE engine. No longer burns oil. Befor e the Valvoline R&P oil i would burn 1 quart every 3K mile drain and fill. I followed the instruction to drain and fill four times and started in early April 2024. Just did my 4th drain and fill this week and oil was very clean and right at the full mark before the drain. So we started at 200K burning oil and now after 50% city stop and go with the rest being highway driving only change element was the use of Valvoline R&P. Note: power has increased perhaps due to greater compression. This is the real deal product for any owner of any Toyota 2AZ-FXE looking to reduce or eliminate oil burning due to the oil control ring design defect in that engine.
That’s awesome, thanks for watching!
When did you start to see it improve? Did it take until that fourth drain to see the full improvement? Congrats!
Improvement started after the second drain.
Can it fix piston slap noise?
That’s a mechanical issue unfortunately, only a rebuild with an updated skirt design will fix that. Thanks for watching!
@Fix-it-tony I mean just to reducing the noise. It's weird I got piston slap with my 2022 Hyundai. I do change oil every 5k miles or 6 months, but why I got piston slap. Is it because of thin oil that I use? The dealers recommended 0W20 oil
Great video, thank you. Do you think that oil is or will cause any engine damage or premature wear?
It’s a high-quality oil, can be used every day. This is what I’m doing with it. Going forward. Thanks for watching!
Someone on another vid said theres so much cleaning additives in it that it can mess up/dry out seals/gaskets. Have u heard of that or would that likely be possible with this oil?
Don’t see how that’s possible, simple check of how boron works will tell you. Thanks for watching!
what about Penzzoil Platinum and Ultra Platinum ?
Doesn’t have the same deposit cleaning ability. Thanks for watching!
@@Fix-it-tony Thanks for the response! That’s interesting. I’ve heard a lot about Valvoline’s cleaning abilities. Do you think Penzzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum has other benefits that make them a good option, even without the same deposit cleaning power?
Great content. Do you think it's a good idea to use this oil on a brand new car as long term prevention? I also like to keep my cars 200k miles.
Great as a preventive deposit oil, I plan on using it for now on. Thanks for watching!
Maybe after a couple of oil changes. Break in oil change is very important and tolerances may change naturally in the first few thousand miles.
@@gloopington Thanks, that is a great Idea.
@@turo3066 in my 2021 Telluride, I did 5000 mile dealer oil changes with synthetic and an oil test looked good at the end of that. I switched to changing oil myself with Restore and Protect and the oil got more dirty within 500 miles telling me my previous regimen was building up deposits. I recommend this oil.
How did the engine look before the Valvoline restore oil
Was clean, the issue was with the rings and landings as with most direct injection engines. Thanks for watching!
I was looking at videos of the oil and then saw your car, I have the exact same car in the same color but just 2 years older XD. Btw, the car looks a million times better if you paint the rims black!
Definitely will consider it, thanks for watching!
I just did my oil today in both vehicles as recommended by The Oil Geek. Changed from Mobile One to Valvoline Rand P. Pretty sure my engi ns are clean , I change my oil every 1500 miles. never over 3000. miles. The engines sound quitter and more smooth. My Kia is pretty clattery anyway. It sounds smoother.
Will work over time in your Kia, let us know how it goes. Thanks for watching!
You probably need to have your valve lash adjusted on that Kia! Most of their v6 engines have bucket lifters that use shims instead of hydraulic ones that adjust automatically...Kia recommends at least checking them every 60,000 miles or so as part of regular maintenance...
Thank you for posting this. I just purchased a used 2009 Pontiac vibe (toyota matrix) with the 2.4l, for my daughter. I just did the first oil change with conventional synthetic. Ill be paying attention to her rate of oil burn, if any. Then, if we are seeing any burn, ill try this Valvoline for sure. Was thinking, in the first oil change with clean and Restore, ill NOT change the filter (at first), put in the new Valvoline, run it for about 200-300 miles,.and THEN change the filter with a new one. That way i can use the older filter to accumulate most of the potential gunk this new oil might break free. For years, i pretty much used Mobil 1 on all our vehicles. At times, i would use Valvoline synthetic, and most recently, super tech synthetic. If this new clean and Restore helps, it will become my new go to.
Let us know how it goes, thanks for watching!
I have a 2007 Vibe with 260k miles on it. It’s the 1.8 L. In 5k intervals, it only goes down 1/8 inch on the dipstick. So this engine doesn’t really use oil.
@@slalomking 1.8l typically do not burn. The problem lies in the 2.4l Toyota, through about 2009. I believe that the issue was fixed later in 2009 or 2010, so im not yet sure if mine was or was not affected
Update, i calculated about 1 quart of burn/consumption about every 1000 on her orginal oil change of supertech full synthetic, over almost 4000 miles. We were careful to add a quart every time she got down to the bottom mark, on dipstick. This is on a 2.4L toyota powertrain with about 164000 miles, currently. The culprit is likely oil ring carbon deposits (on low tension rings). A week ago, I removed the old filter and supertech oil (which was still very clean), and replaced it with Valvoline restore and protect. It may take some time but im hoping for a reduction oil consumption rates. I'll try to add updates. Btw, I've heard such great things about this oil that I have already installed it in my high mileage 2010 nissan altima, and my sons 2006 impala. Neither car burn any oil, but I figured it would be a great product to help keep the internals in top shape. My wife's newer equinox will get it next time too.
@@louofm1 one of our other cars is a 2003 Camry it just crossed 300,000 miles 2.4L engine. It uses a qt every 1500. I bought the car used off a shady car lot for $7500 with 131k on it on 2013, I figured if it made 200k I’d of gotten my money’s worth. The valve cover needed replacement at about 260k. I opened it up and about had a heard attack ! It had 1/4 inch of sludge over everything. The bozo that had it before must of never changed the oil. I wiped off the sludge I could see on top of valve train. So now that this new Valvoline oil has come out the clean and restore, I thought about using it on this car or should I just leave it alone since I’ve crossed 300k now. The car is incredible, it still runs and drives great !
I recently changed the oil in my 2018 Kia Sportage with the Valvoline Restore and Protect. The car has 81000 miles and burns a quart every 1500 miles. Hoping this product helps!
Hope this helps, the Kia and Hyundai engines have a mechanical defect that causes oil consumption in some cases. Huge class action lawsuit, extended warranty’s 8 years 150k miles on most 4 cylinder models. Thanks for watching!
Great video! So nice it helped with your oil consumption!

@Fix-it-tony cool. I got 325k so far on my 5.4 and just bought a bronco. I'll check this stuff out seen as how I do all my work myself
Good to change oil filter after 1000 miles to see if it is clean
Can't wait until the Oil Geek compares Valvoline Restore and Protect to the Amsoil line-up of oils. All of the comparison tests I've found only use Valvoline Full Synthetic, not the Restore and Protect formula.
As long as he figures in the cost, Amsoil is a great product, just priced out of reach of some budgets. Thanks for watching!
On old cars, 2002 Mitsubishi galant w 235k, is it ok to start using a synthetic on a vehicle w no leaks. i might go up to 10w30 val restore vs 5w30 conventional. I am burning oil but not a qt in 4k miles.
Synthetic oil is safe regardless of miles. Get oil for everyday use and higher mileage old cars for cleaning up oil deposits. Thanks for watching!
Do you think this is worth switching from the Mobil 1 full synthetic to this oil? The Mobil 1 also has cleaners in it and its rated at 20k miles, however I always go up to 5K miles before changing the oil.
Both are good oils, the Valvoline offers a better package for preventing and breaking down buildup. Valvoline is also cheaper, I’ve never had an issue with it. Thanks for watching!
I'm on my second oil change in my honda accord I need to check if it cleaned it
Curious to see, thanks for watching!
Hey just found this video. Is there a dexos1 verson or does that even matter at this point?
Exceeds Dexos standards, thanks for watching!
How about the valves? I have just got a used Subaru in February, that has direct injection . I hear the valves get caked … Will it keep those clean too ?
Unfortunately no, direct injection engines need manually walnut valve cleaning on a regular basis. My LS460 has dual injection, port and direct injection, this gives the best of both worlds and keeps the valves clean. Thanks for watching!
@@Fix-it-tony At how many miles should that be done ?
@@johnf.6942 With the oil vapors circulating thru the crankcase vent system into the intake there should be some prevention of buildup or even removal of some of the buildup on the valves over time with this oil.
every 50k-60k mi. but it is in the owners manual. also, look into a catch can system (single or dual). I just installed the radium dual can on my wrx at 72k miles. I probably should have done this 70k miles ago back in 2019 ☹️. walnut blasting or Subaru valve clean liquid will help w/intake valve deposits. on my wrx, I like using a low SAPS (ACAE C3), non-Resource Conserving oil like Penzoil Euro-L or Mobil1 ESP 5w-30. only time I've used Subaru oil was the first 4 oil changes...since then (last 4 years) it's been low SAPS oil as much as possible...
If you're not already, use a Top Tier Fuel, which is highly recommended by Toyota, to maintain your results, Tony.
Remember, Top Tier means they have an adequate amount of detergents for keeping your fuel system clean, and it does not necessarily have the same anti-wear additives as some gasolines (such as Shell's V-Power).
Using a quality fuel is a must also, thanks for watching!
Can this be used as regular oil where it gets changed every 5000 miles or should you change this more often like at 500 miles
100% can be used as everyday oil, just change oil filter early if engine has a lot of sludge. Thanks for watching!
Does it work in diesel engines 👍🇬🇧
They have a version for Diesel, it’s hard to find though. Worked too well and was prone to clogging oil filters. Thanks for watching!
Free the pistons rings! My 2005 2AZ-FE feels for you.
I bet, thanks for watching!
maybe its me but Ive owned 10 new vehicles and put 300k on some. not one of them ever dropped/burned oil level in 5k, not one.
The other issue i see here, is why would an oil that supposed to clean the engine, look clean...it should be filthy. and Blackstone labs agrees and says an oil that's getting black quickly is not bad oil but oil that's doing its job cleaning.
pennsoil is one oil that cleans well, and Mobil 1, has been known to clean well, i personally think Castrol edge is the best oil out there for protection purposes
This was after one treatment and the oil was black. Cars driven everyday or less likely to have carbon issues. It’s the short drive cars early in their lives that run into these short of issues and cars with low tension rings like mine. Thanks for watching!
Where did you get the information about boron being the active ingredient that is responsible for its success at cleaning? Im trying to better understand the molecular science behind the additives. I hear there's no ester in this formula
Boron is a super slick molecule that is smaller than the bonds that build deposits so it can break them up. Most anti stiction additives are made of boron for the same reason. Thanks for watching.
I am skeptical how Valvoline basically reinvented the wheele. Why doesnt Mobile have something like this? What does this do to the seals long term.
Just breakdown down carbon and sludge, a custom molecule that they first developed with Cummins for diesels. Thanks for watching!
Try it it's definitely a new tier oil, the difference in smoothness is night and day after the first start up. Mobile will eventually reverse engineer a competitive product. Valvoline was just the first to market. Unknown chemical consensus on the Internet. Eventually the science will be explained. Welcome to 2024. Just beware of build up in the oil filter if your engine is neglected
@@outletadvantage6388Where is the majority of discussion on this product happening? Link to forum please. Also does the functional components of this oil exist separately from anywhere as an additive? It seems like this would function much better as an additive than premixed with oil, which is limited to certain viscosities.
@@Null-o7j the majority of the discussion is in RUclips comments from the major oil channels, you've got Ford boss me, the oil guy (can't remember his name), and a few other reviewers. Anecdotal information is what I base my suggestions along with my own personal experience. The additive package is proprietary, meaning it's not fully released how it is they are accomplishing the results we are all witnessing. Only a matter of time before a competitor takes notice of the craze and begins reverse engineering a similar solution. For now, this has been the best consumer grade oil I've tried. Smoother engine, quieter idle, more throttle response, 5-10% increased mpg, and the oil seems to be cleaning inside the valve cover. Oil is darker after only 1200 miles compared to Mobil 1 EP or similar high end consumer oils. And the price is a bargain for performance, $30/5 quart. Cheaper than high end oils and comparable to the cheapest super tech oil available.
Started using this 2,000 miles ago on. RAV4 with a 2FE-AZ engine. So far, oil consumption has been only marginally reduced. I suspect it takes 10,000 to fully test the theory
It works slowly, which is a good thing so it won’t clog your oil filter. Safe and effective to use as your everyday oil. Thanks for watching!
How many miles did it take to start to reduce the oil consumption for you? And what's the lowest miles youve heard or seen before they stopped consuming oils?
Half way through the second oil change I noticed the difference. Oil is now staying cleaner longer too. Thanks for watching!
@@Fix-it-tony how many miles was that?
8500
@Fix-it-tony so did you notice anything different prior to that? I'm also running r&p. But I wasn't burning any oil. I did however have some timing chain rattle show up at the 150k mile mark. From my understanding this can be from the hydraulic tensioner clogged. So I'm wondering if that will increase in tension as time goes on. I only put 800 miles on it so far though.
This Valvoline sounds very good.
It is for sure, thanks again for watching!
Do a piston soak with b-12 chemtool then change the oil after

Runs like I just took it out of the dealer. I’ve only ever used the dealership oil, ultra platinum twice and have Castrol edge sitting in my house waiting to be put in just cuz it was on roll back.
Would it be a good idea to try this oil out?
This is a top shelf oil and with its deposit preventing properties it would be an excellent option. Thanks for watching!
@@Fix-it-tony so is it an oil that you use a few times to cleanse your engine then you continuously use it or perhaps maybe stick it start using like advance or extended protection valvoline.
I’ve used ultra platinum which seemed good and my engine is smooth but idk if it’s true that it can cause damage later on to the catalytic converter and other things that I don’t really know what they are tbh
With a lot of years and miles on the clock, I will give Restore & Protect a try and switch from K-Y.
