- Is Valvoline Advanced Protection a full synthetic?
- Yes. It is a full synthetic oil, not a synthetic blend. It meets API SP and ILSAC GF-6A, the current standards for most gasoline engines.
- What cars is 5W-20 right for?
- 5W-20 is common in many Honda, Toyota, Ford and Chrysler four-cylinder and V6 engines. Check your owner's manual or oil cap before buying, since some engines call for 0W-20 or 5W-30.
- How does it compare with Valvoline Extended Protection?
- Extended Protection is Valvoline's longer-drain, more protective synthetic. Advanced Protection is the step below it and suits normal change intervals; Extended Protection is the better pick for severe driving or longer intervals.
- How often should I change it?
- Follow your owner's manual, which is usually every 5,000 to 7,500 miles for a full synthetic. Severe driving such as towing or lots of short trips calls for the shorter end of that range.
- What is in the three-pack?
- Three one-gallon jugs of 5W-20 Valvoline Advanced Protection full synthetic oil. That is enough for three typical four- to five-quart oil changes.
- Does it work in older engines?
- Yes, it is suitable for older four-stroke gasoline engines that specify 5W-20. Very high-mileage engines may benefit from a high-mileage oil with seal conditioners.
- Where is the Valvoline Advanced Protection Full Synthetic Motor Oil 3 Pack cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $26.91, as of our latest check.
