This is a big claim to say a can of cleaner in the oil can restore power and mpg.

Smells like BS to me.

Hey! Is that you STP?

Dunno how many miles are on the Mazda in the vid but that motor sure sounds bad in that underneath shot.

BG? Isn't that the brand that we've seen in use by some of the dealerships?

how about just use quality oil and quality gas and never have to do anything else...I have been maintaining cars since the 70's and never have to add any extras.....heck most manufacturers tell you not to add oil additives of any type....kind of like supplements it is a billion dollar industry and someone is getting rich...

At 74k miles on my 2014, many of which are shorter hops, I'm considering Valvoline Restore and Protect for my next oil change. Might help prevent stuck rings and oil consumption problem in the future.

yes i would definately give it a try.

There is a youtube video of a mechanics shop using the stuff and it really did nothing. Muchmore positive stuff on line with Valvoline Restore and Protect cleaning up varnished and gummed up engines and most importantly, freeing gummed up piston rings on bad oil consumers like LS V8's, Honda's V6's with DCM, etc.

I agree it looks like an attractive option. However ….

I checked the Valvoline website in Australia and used the “oil selector” tool to input my 2024 CX5 Akera 2.5 NA model details, and it did not come up with the Restore and Protect as either the recommended or an optional oil choice….. they say that they base these recommendations on the manufacturer’s specs for oil.

Does the US Valvoline website have a similar oil selection took and if so, what does it come up with for CX5?

I am curious about the use of Valvoline Restore on our motors

I trust the source & credentials below

I read that comment. I already use good quality gas and oil with lower mileage change intervals. Decent quality filters too. I'm not much of a believer of the "snake oil, miracle product, mechanic in a can" type of additives. However, a legitimate looking product (at least causes no harm) could prove beneficial in keeping the ring pack cleaner since most of my driving is shorter hops. There are no varnish or deposits on the dipstick or under the valve cover so cleaning effectiveness would have to be judged by how quickly the oil turns dark. The Valvoline R&P doesn't appear to be an aggressive engine flush so I'm not so rigid in my thinking so as to disallow some safe experimentation. Easy to monitor results over a few months and change out early if concerns.

I feel pretty confident using the Valvoline R&P with the reports and backgrounds of those testing.. these low-tension piston rings in-use ~2010 or so has made this viable option to help clean up the ring deposit issues

One of the engineers interviewed by Lake clearly stated that it wasn't the additive package but the base oil that makes it special. Said they told the engineers what they wanted and they designed a base oil that has superior cleansing ability. Mulitiple stories on various forums of owners with notorious oil burners due to piston rings gummed up(1 qt every 1000 miles) had oil consumption drop considerably after 3 to 4 changes with ValvoResto&Protect. My guess is that it will be good at helping keep the EGR or PCV systems pretty clean as well. I understand that our Mazda's are much less prone to carboning up the intake valves than most others GDI without port injection, but I can't help but wonder if this oil might help in this regard with it's "superdetergency"?
