Restore Pistons to Factory Clean
The first and only motor oil that returns pistons to factory clean – by removing up to 100% of deposits.
Not only does Valvoline Restore & Protect meet today’s engine oil specifications but Restore & Protect is the first and only motor oil in market that actively cleans your engine, removing up to 100% of engine killing deposits and helping prevent future deposits from forming.1 Restore & Protect is the highest performing product in the Valvoline portfolio. Not only does it exceed all the ILSAC GF-6A and API SP industry requirements, but it has superior wear protection and, critically, removes deposits from pistons and prevents more from forming.
No, Restore & Protect is not an engine treatment. It is a fully formulated ILSAC GF-6A and API SP motor oil, exceeding the requirements of each specification. Restore & Protect works to its fullest capabilities when used consistently during regular oil drain intervals.
When it comes to Restore & Protect, consistency is key. Use Restore & Protect consistently as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer to get the best results.
Cleaner parts at 300k miles than at 100k miles. After initial testing of deposit buildup at 100k miles, Valvoline completed an additional 200k miles of testing comparing deposit buildup with Restore & Protect to deposit buildup with an industry qualified GF-6 oil. Valvoline then conducted further modified industry testing confirming the results based on on-the-road driving habits.
Valvoline’s Active Clean technology chemically dissolves deposits into microscopic pieces, which are then suspended in the motor oil, eventually leaving the engine during the next oil change. There is no impact to the performance or longevity of the oil filter.
