The Valvoline 0W-20 oil runs great for my 2019 BRZ and the oil helps with fuel efficiency. It flows well in cold temperatures and helps keep the engine clean. Highly recommended for maintaining performance and longevity.I also like buying oil from amazon because I save time and don’t have to go to a autozone, walmart, or another brick and mortar store. It’s very durable for 5-7k miles and cost effective.

Easier to purchase than store as it came directly to my garage.

As far as I’m concerned, this is real good oil. Mobil 1 Has a reputation for being the best, But I’ve been using valvoline Syntech In different weights in many different vehicles for a very long time and have never had a mechanical engine issue Or any other problems that are related to engine lubrication. I will continue to use this product or Mobil one Depending on which one is more affordable at the time as far as I’m concerned, they are interchangeable.

Valvoline is the only engine oil producers that actually have their own testing facility that tests their oils on real engines. Their additive packages are phenomenal for the price. I use the Valvoline Advanced formula. Or the high mileage formula with the max life. And yes you can use their high mileage oil on engines with less than 50 or 100k miles. Excellent oil

When I was 16 my first car was a 1985 Honda CRX Si. I had work done on it by a company in Hunting Beach (if memory serves) called Jackson Racing. One day, I was talking to the owner, Oscar Jackson. This was a treat for a dumb 16 or 17 year old kid! I asked him what oil he used in his race cars. He told me that he had lost an engine at one point or another with just about every high quality brand EXCEPT Valvoline. Because of this, he said he now (back then) only runs Valvoline when racing. That was enough for me! To this day, Valvoline is my go to and I have never once regretted it. Thank you Oscar!!!!!!

I went to the dealer a couple years ago and got the oil changed. A couple months later I was going over my maintenance receipts and noticed they put 0w20 oil into our Camry, which calls for 0w16! I was upset the dealer did not use the recomended oil for my car. I talked to the service manager and he said they could not get 0w16 oil and Toyota said they could use 0w20 and it would not affect the warrenty. At that point I looked online on Amazon and found this Valoline 0w16 oil in a 3 pack and began doing my own oil changes. From what I’ve heard, the dealer uses whatever inexpensive synthetic oil they can get as long as it meets the specifications by the auto manufacturer. So that would mean when you take your car in for an oil change you may not get Toyota oil anyway. If that’s true I’m not sure but heard a former Toyota mechanic say that. As far as transmission fluid, I would ONLY use the reccomended fluid for that specific car. In my case, the transmission fluid will always be changed with original Toyota transmission fluid rated for that car. Bottom line, I am very happy with this Valvoline oil and will continue to use and change every 5000 miles. I fully expect this Camry to last at least 2 to 3 hundred thousand miles.

This is one of the main oils that I use in my 2006 Lincoln Town Car, especially since they run good sales on it! I also use this specific oil in my 2008 Ford Expedition King Ranch Edition! It has never let me down!
