Currently 1,950 miles on my first interval of the Valvoline Restore & Protect. Given how close it is to 2,000 miles, when I plan on changing the oil, I’m going to call this video a datapoint at “0 Mile” for the second interval. I’ll create video check-ins throughout the second interval so that we can see the progress of the Restore & Protect on my engine. Stats: Vehicle: 2021 Ford F-150 3.5L Ec...

    This product is not designed to clean your engine, it's designed to clean your bottom piston ring, called the oil control ring, and the ring land, the groove it sits in. You mentioned checking your oil level while running this oil, THAT'S what this oil is designed to do, clean up the bottom ring and stop/slow the oil bypassing the ring and burning up in the combustion chamber. Anything else that gets clean from the use of this oil is just secondary. Looking forward to updates on your progress :)

Does that help? Sorry again.

    • @petehagen9294
      @petehagen9294 20 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      @MidwestF150 you got me curious...here's what Gemini says about the shutters, "The shutters on the front grill of a Ford F-150 are called active grille shutters. They are designed to improve fuel efficiency and aerodynamics. Here's how they work: * When the vehicle is moving at highway speeds: The shutters close, reducing the amount of air that flows through the front of the truck. This reduces aerodynamic drag, which improves fuel economy. * When the vehicle needs to cool down: The shutters open, allowing more air to flow through the radiator and cool the engine. This is important during stop-and-go traffic, towing, or when the engine is under heavy load. By automatically adjusting the airflow through the front of the truck, the active grille shutters help to improve both fuel economy and engine performance."

    IMO the fill port is not a good spot to judge of what the oil is doing. The only action in the fill port is from you pouring oil in there. Invest in a scope and get it down in the engine if you want to see what the oil is doing.

    Good baseline video. Don't use anything to flush if you want to see how effective the R&P is. Seafoam will just boil off as it's flash point is at a low 55 degree F and according to Lake Speed Jr., will cause water contamination in the oil. Looks like clean spots are starting to open up in the crud. If the clear spots get bigger, R&P is cleaning. It will be interesting to see the changes in the clean spots after a couple of oil changes. Here is a Lake Speed Jr. video on oil and fuel additives. He talks about Seafoam at 28:12. "Don't put Seafoam in anything you care about" - Lake Speed Jr. th-cam.com/video/CvkK-dShtM0/w-d-xo.html

      @MidwestF150 Well not exactly..... if the PCV valve is stuck in the open position, the vehicle will drink oil rapidly. I was more concerned about the oil consumption than the timing issue.

      Hey Mandy, thanks for stopping by! I don’t think you’re wrong at all. Do you have a recommendation on what part of the engine I can look to track the VRP’s progress?

    Just started running this in my vehicle which has the Chrysler 3.6 Pentastar engine and around 33,000 miles. While there has been robust discussion in every corner of the internet about what this oil claims to do and how effective it seems to be at cleaning, what remains unanswered is the long-term effects it will have. Is it really safe to run indefinitely or is this something you should run for 4-5 OCI's and then go back to a "regular" premium synthetic? What effect will the magic molecules in this lubricant have long term on seals, gaskets, internal plastics & rubbers, turbos, etc? Nobody really knows. I feel like Valvoline neglected to do any real long-term testing of this oil...they discovered its effectiveness at cleaning and sent it to market. I'd also like to hear more about the "79% better wear protection" claim on the bottle. That's what long-term users will care about - once my engine is clean does R&P offer any protection advantage over competing oils? If not, guys like me with young, low-mile engines might be better served using something else.

      Hey Buley, thanks for stopping by! I had sent an email to Valvoline to see if the Restore & Protect can be used longterm. They said it can be used indefinitely. I think the 4-5 OCI we are seeing and hearing refers to the number of intervals when folks could expect to see the cleaning effect-but I can be wrong, not an expert. I think you pose ALOT of great points. I think Valvoline does a great job of responding to folks who reach out to them via email, phone. Ultimately, I’m not an expert and would defer to Valvoline to provide you solid answers.

      I think I can do intake on Sentra. Not sure how to do it for F-150. Might have to wait until summer. Or at least when weather is warmer. I don’t want to turn what could be a 30 minute job into 4 days lol

      why would the oil clean the top of the pistons. I can see the side of the pistons being touched by oil but the top on the piston where you would see by pulling out the spark plug does not get touched by oil unless the truck is burning oil?

      It would just be fun. I mean, if I had one of these cameras I’d stick it in my ear and see if I could see my brain. Which people don’t think I have. If I could only prove them wrong……
