Have any of you guys been running this oil? If so how long was ur change interval or atleast how often did u replace ur oil filter I've been thinking about trying it as I've heard it works very well.. Only thing holding me back is a vid I just seen today claiming it clogged the dude's oil filter in only 500 miles & in turn caused some issues. He cut the filter open & it was packed full with sludge.. The take away being Valvoline Restore & Protect actually works so well that within only 500 miles it cleaned so much out that it clogged the filter.. I recently just switched from M1 Extended Performance to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum & it's only been about 300 or so miles & I noticed it's burning more than before.. Really thought it be the other way around but eh🤷‍♂️My 2013 6.0 has no leaks at all whatsoever. Should I try the new Valvoline next go around?
 
No experience with those. Mobile One stinks, we use Quaker State Full Synthetic and ACDelco in our trucks. They don't consume oil between changes or make the motors rattle on start up like M1.

I had the oils tested after 3 changes with each type. ACDelco and Quaker State are just about the same. M1 left 3x as much metal in the oil. The reason being that ACDelco has to be ordered and Quaker State is at Walmart and 1/2 the price.

Ahh... The fresh smell of oil thread in the morning...

Clogged oil filter after 500 miles? I've had all kinds of vehicles and used all kinds of oil (definitely good as well as bad) over the decades of driving, but have never had an oil filter get clogged due to oil, nor any other reason. Guess I've been lucky. 🤷‍♂️
