This stuff is amazing and no other oil cleans like this. Wear properties are great, too. The Oil Geek is a degreed tribologist. Many accounts on BITOG of it stopping oil burning on high mileage vehicles.

4oz of Swan dish soap works wonders for stuck rings...(been using it for years):p;)

I’ve been a Mobil 1 guy for decades now. I run it in all my ice’s. Haven’t had a reason to switch just yet, but above looks good.

i’ve been using Valvoline full synthetic in all my vehicles for 30+ years now. every forerunner I’ve had had over 300,000 miles on it and it failed because of frame rot not engine or drive train issues. All Looked brand new inside. I use Valvoline restore and protect in everything now since it came out.

This is my previous 4Runner when I did head gaskets on it. It had just under 300,000 miles on it. It saw mostly highway mileage at high speed and a lot of WOT driving, it had no carbon in it at all lol it was this clean upon tearing it down, intake valves, piston crowns, cylinder chambers. Look at the cross hatching in the cylinders, like the day it was honed after 300k miles. This ran on Valvoline 10-30 Max Life Full Synthetic its whole life. Restore and Protect is even better now!

Really. Heard trans fluid in the engine does the same thing.

My friends dad did that one time back in the 80s. There was so much smoke someone called the fire department thinking there was a fire:LOL:

Interesting to hear Valvoline recommended. Years back it was accused of sludge.

I use Penzoil Full Synthetc in all of ours. Used to use Penzoil Platinum but testing showed full synthetic was as good or better and like $22 for 5qt at Wally World. 4runner is at 170k miles and climbing.
