- Is Valvoline Extended Protection a full synthetic?
- Yes. It is a fully synthetic oil, not a synthetic blend. That puts it in the same class as Mobil 1 and Pennzoil Platinum.
- How many quarts does one box contain?
- Four one-quart bottles. That covers a single oil change on engines with a four-quart sump; check your owner's manual for your capacity.
- Which engines is 5W-20 suited to?
- It is the grade many Honda, Toyota and Ford four-cylinder and V6 engines specify. Use whatever viscosity your owner's manual lists.
- How does it compare with Valvoline's other full synthetics?
- Extended Protection sits above Valvoline's basic full synthetic on wear and deposit protection and below its European formula for European makes. For a mainstream car, it is the middle choice.
- How often should I change it?
- Follow your owner's manual or oil life monitor. Extended Protection is designed for longer drain intervals, but severe driving may call for shorter changes.
- Does it meet dexos or other OEM specs?
- Check the label on the bottle for the current API and OEM approval listings, since these can change between formulations.
- Where is the Valvoline Extended Protection Motor Oil 1 Quart 4 Pack cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $39.52, as of our latest check.
