Please consider a Super Thanks! I answer almost 100% of all questions and messages from my viewers and a Super Thanks will be greatly appreciated.
I decided to help others after a dealership in California took advantage of my mother during a repair recall.
Most times you can drive home & research your problem after getting a repair estimate & Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Modern vehicles have a "limp-home" mode that prevents you from being stranded. This helps you steer away from unnecessary and expensive repairs and gives you a basis from which to negotiate.
"Driving Intelligence" is self learning through study & asking questions to solve your automotive problems. I've been a "do-it-yourselfer" for decades and can perform almost all repair and maintenance activities once I diagnose the issue, do PROPER RESEARCH & plan the activity using manuals, internet, and logic. I've made mistakes so you don't have to.

I learned absolutely nothing from this video. What a way to get 2.7k views.
Im here to figure out the color too, I just rebuilt my hemi and added a stg 2 cam, and a lot of other upgrades, so I wanted to help my upgrades by adding a catch can to help keep oil vapors from getting into my intake manifold. I empty the catch can around once a month, with around a half inch of that brown milky looking stuff. I also live in a very cold climate in the winter, Maryland area. Thanks for explaining it!
I have been using OEM Honda full synthetic blend for eight years. I finally switched to Mobil 1 Extended Performance two years ago. I noticed a big improvement in engine noise and smoother acceleration. I read online that people also said that when they switched from Mobil 1 to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, they noticed greater noise reduction and better acceleration. Now, there are videos claiming that Valvoline Restore and Protect is even better, making your engine sound like an EV and accelerating like a Bugatti. I am totally lost. I do plan on using Restore and Protect in all my vehicles.
Thanks Barry for an AWSOME video - which epoxy did you use - I’ve got 2 cracked studs and 1 broken . I’ve been looking at 3M automotive epoxy - even called the automotive division. They didn’t know what to use ??? So which epoxy ? Thanks for an AWSOME video
JB weld is always my go to epoxy. Don’t hesitate to use tons of it for those studs.
Wow that was the answer I was looking for thank you so much
If you have piston slap mean you have too much wear clearance already and changing oil brand won't rebuild those metals for you buddy, but if you go for a heavier oil it will help, I had a car with piston slap i went from 5w30 to 5w50, problem solved for many years I drove over 100k miles after and no problem
Certainly, I’m not looking to rebuild the metals, my objective is to reduce the piston slap by releasing the rings from the ring lands, if they’re stuck. There’s been some evidence out there that stuck rings can contribute to piston slap. I’ve already gone from 5W20 to 5w30. I can confirm that the piston slap has been reduced, but not eliminated.
@DrivingIntelligence piston slap isn't caused by piston rings getting stuck, it's caused by wear so the bottom of the pistons will have too much play, so even if the rings are free it won't matter, go for a heavy oil heavy zinc like redline it will help alot more than this valvoline
Are u selling the BCM?
I can, contact me at facebook.com/drivingintelligence
Yes a lot of hype for sure. Just started using it. One thing I noticed is the smell compared to other engine oils. Smells very unique and quite foul.😂 Must be the "cleaning detergents"?
The videos are ALOT of talking and not really showing u doing any work real time. u showing vid after u have removed parts. less talk and more work would be appreciated
Did you watch the whole video series as I mentioned in the video? Or just this video?
Nobody cares! We are here for the oil.
OK, send me your receipt and I'll refund your money... oh yeah, you didn't pay a thing! But hey, thanks for commenting, every comment, even negative, helps my channel. ;)
Can this oil be used in diesel engines too?
generally speaking, the answer is no, the wrong oil could cause damage, but Valvoline makes a very expensive oil for Diesel Engines that cleans the rings very effectively.
Valvoline says not for use in diesel engines.
@@dacampbellrn thanks a ton
dude, didnt show any actual work
You have to hit the play button to watch the video
I switched from 5W-30 to 0W-20 this shit is that good, my car got recalled for oil burning & this shit is really good. My MPG when down but thats it. Running like a champ.
hmmm, I wonder why your mpg went down. You stopped burning oil? What vehicle do you drive?
@DrivingIntelligence 2009 xB it was recalled for the piston rings so it'll just chew through the oil. Isn't really burning oil now.
in general any proper full/100% syn oil would clean up sludge and varnish from insides including dipstick, but at very slow rate. I had this case 10+ years ago after dealer put some conventional oils and I have to clean up it afterwards before this oil geek guy was even born. but this is a great point to easy and simple check if any oil including VRP really works
It is a good indication of the cleaning ability of the oil
Ha ha. You said the tip of my dipstick….
I enjoy your engine oil videos. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! A more detailed review is coming where I change the oil for the 3rd time. Will be interesting to see the oil and filter condition.
Is it using less oil?
Yes, that is what I mentioned in the video
Glad to hear the comments from people who have used R&P. Can't wait to use it in my 2006 4Runner with 222000 miles!
The results are truly amazing
3:57 i have passed test many times thanks to the spacer they dont check under the car in my state only plug in scanner
I'm glad it worked... :)
For a great filter made to correct specs with the bypass valve i recommend purolator boss or one, line of filters. Theyre really well made with high quality materials and the price is reasonable. I even like their cheap line of filters wich are great when doing flushes.
I am using the Boss now... more expensive, but sounds like it's worth it.
WIX XP FILTERS
Thanks, right now I've switch to Purolator and will stay there until I get more data.
Im curious what this oil would do for a Kia theta engine. If it would help the consumption
I just did an internet search on that engine, and sounds like they've had some problems. If you've had the metal shaving issue, this oil will not correct the wear caused by that, but otherwise, stuck rings could be improved with this oil.
@DrivingIntelligence my mom has a 2014 Sportage with 118k. She strictly uses high mileage full synthetic oil, we haven't had shaving issues. Just very dirty oil very quickly. I was thinking about also giving R&P a try in my Sebring with Chrysler's sludge prone 2.7. Would be a great candidate to see if filter clogs.
@@Tylerc3419 dirty oil could be combustion products getting past the rings. Might try an oil analysis. I'm doing that with my next oil change.
Hey I really appreciate these videos and I'm trying to duplicate the same setup on my 03 F150. What brand stall converter did you get?
Thanks for watching! I bought the Precision Industries Torque Converter. As much as I love this very expensive converter, if I had to do it over again, I would tell them to reduce the stall to about 1,800 rpm. I think that's a better stall for a stock 5.4 2v... just seat of the pants opinion. www.converter.com/
I'm literally about to do an oil change with this oil in my subaru outback right now
I'm sure you'll be pleased. How many miles on your Outback?
@@DrivingIntelligence it has about 140k miles at the moment.
I really want to see a comparison test between pensoil ultra platinum and valvoline restore and protect
@ I was using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum until I switched to the Valvoline Product and the Pennzoil has not done as much good for my engine, although it is a very good oil.
I bought a 2000 f150 7700 about 15 months ago. Since buying it, I have had to replace the alternator, and have had two spark plugs eject while driving (at different times). I always associated my stuttering engine at idle with spark plugs about to blow until this 2nd one went. I have a leak in the vacuum system apparently associated to the EGR sensor, waiting on parts. I need to hire someone to do the last 6 plugs.
If you tighten the plugs to 28 ft lbs they won't blow out. The torque spec in my 2002 shop manual stated 12 ft lbs. 28 is what is recommended now on the Ford truck forums. I never had a plug blowout and I put 170,000 miles on my 2002 5.4 and 170,000 on my 2000 5.4.
@@williamwhite9767 Cool. Thank you William.
Here's one of my very first videos about finding vacuum leaks in these engines: th-cam.com/video/hMeR0LJirAo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=m61Q83hv9g93FeEf and here is my video on coils and plugs: th-cam.com/video/AQPaFukWewQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OJ284LKgbVBIuv40 - William is right, the spec for the plugs is no longer effective, 28 ft./lbs. is good. Good luck
@ thank you!
Thanks for thst.
My pleasure!
I have a 95 aode an the shift pack looks different then the new design will it still work the same
The shift solenoids are different between the AODE and the 4R70W. Best to make sure you buy the correct solenoids for your make, year and model.
Thanks doe the diagnostic
Doe?
@@DrivingIntelligenceoops, I meant “thanks “for” the diagnostic” ;)
@@Howard-f4f lol, ok! You're welcome
When will you get your detailed update published
Once I change the oil the 3rd time, I will prepare a detailed video with everything I've learned. Sometime in the next month
Awesome explanation, thank you
Very welcome
I've been running it in my 04 Ram 2500 5.7 for around 3k miles and I have noticed a mild decrease in overall engine noise, the lifters still tick at startup but they shut up much faster than before.
Hopefully you will continue to see more and more improvement in engine noise... I continue to be amazed a the smoothness and quiet of my engine since using this product.
Thanks for all your testing.
very welcome
That’s an awesome improvement
It truly is
I sold my 2002 F150 with the 5.4 engine at 170,000 miles. It was still only using a quart of oil in 5k miles. The last two oil changes at 5K intervals I added 6 ounces of Seafoam about 30 miles before changing. When I changed the oil it was very black indicating it removed additional sludge and the engine valve train was noticeably quieter after the first use on cold startup. The valve train was quiet when warmed up. If the Valvoline Restore oil had been available before I sold it I would have tried it. Sometimes I sort of regret selling it but I'm really enjoying my new 2023 Nissan Titan Pro4X. I'm 80 now and I don't enjoy working on autos like I used to... By the way, when I changed the oil adding 6 quarts the dipstick would indicate it was a half quart low. I added an additional pint after a couple of oil changes and it would immediately burn that extra pint. So, afterwards I only put 6 quarts in it after draining.
🤔 I may try running my vehicles oil at 5.5 instead of the full 6.0 quarts and see how my oil consumption is. Interesting 🤔
interesting, I guess when the oil is too high, you get more oil vapor in the crank case because the crank is whipping it around, and the PCV removes the oil vapor. Did you have alot of oil in your intake / throttle body?
@ I don't think so. My throttle plate was sticking when closed and I had to clean it at about 150,000 miles. I removed it to clean it and I didn't notice a lot of buildup.
Can’t wait to see what happens over time with using this oil in my car. Thank you.
Your Mazda CX5 is an awesome car... I bet there will be some improvement from this oil.
I’d like to use Valvoline R&P on my old Buick, but I don’t believe it’s Dexos certified. Would it be ok to use
stay tuned for a video on this, I'm working with Valvoline to see if their oil is ok with GM vehicles.
Can you post a video of the piston slap sound? I have a noise after doing the full timing set with Ford parts that goes away as the temp goes up. Don’t know if piston slap or bad lifter/roller
What you're describing is likely piston slap if it goes away as the engine warms up. I did a timing chain series and here is the last video that has the sound of the engine before and after the timing chain: th-cam.com/video/tITMsJ0ysY0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xjOiqYwgDtkXuFh9
F-150 for life!
agree! but only the older ones!
The benefit of this video is to find a video by someone who has much experience in this work.
Glad to help!
I wonder why the heck the one in the crashtest video did so bad, all the videos I see of realworld crashes are really good.
I completely agree... thing is, in the crash test video, the vehicle is hitting an immovable object, and in the real world, that's rarely the case. The other car or truck crumples reducing the energy transferred to the cab of this truck.
@DrivingIntelligence true, in this video you posted, the f150 did a great job with the impact, no cabin Intrusion and no shattered glass
The back seats are rareeeee because little f-150 king ranches with a supercabs were made
Thanks for that input, I felt very fortunate to find these
How are they working out?
I got rid of them and went to original mirrors. Too much vibration for me.
thanks for all of the handy tips. I actually have 98 4wd 5.4 that ive been working on, so your videos are helpful.
You are very welcome, I still have more coming along. Stay tuned.
Engine oil already has up to 14 additives in it.
Ok, not sure I understand your point
There's 2 adjustments to be made when adjusting you steering gear box. The thrust bearing preload and pitman shaft adjustment, and there's a specific way they need to be adjusted or you will damage your gear box.
Thanks for this input
It works!!!
I think so!
I enjoy your videos. You are patient and calm. You make it seems like I csn do these. Things. Needed to re-use painted cover on new drivers mirror. Your tips on that are very appreciated. John in San Antonio
Thank you for your kind comment John!
Yep that going to look bad can't wait to see it
I agree, looking forward to some warmer weather to finish the paint.
Definitely need to use at least the dealer recommended spark plugs or better in the skyactiv engines. Great motors and great mileage but maintenance can be a little more expensive that other econoboxes. But the 2.0L's have been dead nuts reliable for me.
completely agree... I used the NGK Iridium's recommended by Mazda. Car runs flawlessly
That F150 is SO NICE! Too bad it's got fhat boat anchor of an engine.
They are low on power, but with all my bolt-ons and a custom tune, this engine is much stronger.
