now put them back together and run the Restore and Protect and then let's see if if cleans up all that gunk and unsticks the rings. Im running it in my vehicles and would love to see that.
Makes me believe that conventional oil is plenty sufficient. 500,000 miles and still running. Rings are sticky when cold but as he points out still not causing a problem when running. I am not anti synthetic but conventional oil Valvoline has always served me well. Whether it is my 1970 Challenger 383 magnum, the wife's 2010 Caravan or my Dodge Ram 1500, all of them have never suffered any oil problems with plain oil dino oil.
@richeyorman1748 I run a F350 6.7 powerstroke, 2 different trucks about 500k miles, one 2012 and the other a 2017 that replaced it, never had an issue with the emissions system, but I was always towing ,either an empty trailer that was 7k lbs or loaded with a sailboat and weighed 18k lbs
Do you plan to publish the used oil analysis results, fuel economy at EOT, compression test results, crank friction test results, etc? While varnish is useful and looks "good" on TH-cam - those other metrics are far more informative. Please consider making a more technical follow up video with more complete information from the test. Thanks!
Would never run conventional oil 10,000 miles. I bet money if they had changed the conventional every 5000 it would look just as good as the synthetic.
Million mile Tundra changed it every 10k. The 2022 Civic with 250k did it every 10k miles. My Highlander 700k every 10k taco with 440k every 10k the list goes on and on
Ive been running valvoline full synthetic high mileage. Just got a new to me tundra with 136k on it when i bought it. Have done two changes with the high mileage full synthetic, now at 146k. Does the restore and protect have the same peoperties for the conditioning of seals for high mileage engines that the high mileage oil does? Im looking to see if i can replace the high mileage with the restore and protect to prevent future carbon buildup over the lifespan of having the truck.
With a good air filter, it shouldn't matter whether it's dyno or street. Cold weather and fluctuating humidity on crankcase ventilation probably play a larger role in oil longevity.
I want to see a major car company give a normal person a car and maintenance it according to there engineering standards to see how long it lasts in the real world environment with normal people also my car is 2009 Lincoln with 200k maintenanced by me a nobody with an Amazon account 😂
This is called setting the parameters to get the results you want. You ran a CONVENTIONAL oil through a turbocharged engine at 10,000 mile intervals. Big no no especially on an engine with a turbo. You ran well outside the limits of what conventional oil was designed for. You didn’t change the conventional at a lesser interval because then both engines would have been almost indistinguishable and you know that. Re run the test and change the conventional at 5,000. I would not even run Amsoil for 10K on my turbo engine. No way that conventional was within limits of an oil sample after 10K.
You guys ran the conventional oil for 10k miles and were surprised at the results??? 🤣 stupid test. But for the record...I do use Valavoline. After seeing the incompetence...might switch to something else.

That's exactly what I was about to comment.
This just proves that if you take care of a vehicle, they can last a lot longer than you’d expect

Amsoil guys must be squirming over this!!
I'd like to see this same test done with a Diesel engine and the Premium Blue Diesel oil vs Shell Rotella
Yes, would love to see the test on a diesel.
Wonder how many DPF and DEF related problems they'd have in a 500k mile test. 😂

Word is getting around. When will Restore & Protect be available at retailers in Canada?
Would never run conventional oil 10,000 miles. I bet money if they had changed the conventional every 5000 it would look just as good as the synthetic.
I’d never go 10,000 miles between changes, even with full synthetic
Million mile Tundra changed it every 10k. The 2022 Civic with 250k did it every 10k miles. My Highlander 700k every 10k taco with 440k every 10k the list goes on and on
@@Hernsama Where they mainly highway miles ?

10k oil interval change for conventional motor oil...no no say it ain't so!
Agreed...that makes this test and results completely pointless.
Excellent comparison. What would the semi synthetic look like? Somewhere in between or closer to the synthetic side.
I suppose somewhere in between but closer to the conventional side.
good video
Well those are on dynos. Not out in the street with debris. I’m sure that plays a part in how they look in certain ways
With a good air filter, it shouldn't matter whether it's dyno or street. Cold weather and fluctuating humidity on crankcase ventilation probably play a larger role in oil longevity.
So the type of oil IS important? So much for, "Clean oil is the best oil" argument...
500,000 miles on conventional oil. Shows that synthetic is not much of a benefit for the average folks.

Why not change the conventional every 5000 or 7500 miles? Seems like a waste. Obviously, the conventional did worse after 10000 mile intervals.

I wanna know how much gas was used to do that overall, seems expensive and like a massive waste.
The convensional oil probably doesn't even meet spec. Pointless "experiment"
Yea...I don't think the 10k mile interval on conventional doesn't meet spec either.

Yeah but if an engine can run for that long on a cheap conventional....Im happy continuing with semi synthetic in our old cars.
