Review: Restore & Protect really does what the name promises - Restore & Protect really does what the name promises I picked up Valvoline Restore & Protect Full Synthetic 0W-20 as part of my regular oil change routine, and after running it for a bit, I’m genuinely impressed. This oil pours cleanly, doesn’t feel overly thin or watery, and immediately gave me a smoother, quieter startup compared to the oil I drained out. Cold starts are noticeably calmer, and the engine just feels happier overall. What stood out to me most is how smooth things feel after a few hundred miles. Throttle response feels more consistent, idle is steadier, and there’s a subtle reduction in engine noise that you don’t always get from standard full synthetics. I’m not expecting miracles from motor oil alone, but this one clearly seems to be doing something beneficial internally. I also like that this is aimed at both newer engines and higher-mileage vehicles. It gives peace of mind knowing it’s designed to actively clean deposits over time while still meeting all the modern specs for today’s engines. I paired it with a quality oil filter and have had zero issues with oil consumption or leaks. Things to keep in mind: this is a bit more expensive than basic full synthetics when not on sale, so it may not be necessary if you’re already running a very clean, low-mileage engine. Also, the “restore” benefits are meant to happen over multiple oil changes, not instantly. Bottom line: A high-quality full synthetic that delivers smooth performance, quieter operation, and long-term engine cleanliness. Well worth it if you want extra protection and plan to keep your vehicle for the long haul.
Review: Good quality oil and solid pricing - Nothing short of high quality synthetic oil. I use this in my work generator that’s under high load, often. It keeps everything running great and reliably.
