Premium motor oil isn’t just for sports cars or luxury vehicles. Today’s engines produce more horsepower in a smaller package to improve fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance. Because engines are working harder, they demand next-level protection. Valvoline Extended Protection Full Synthetic Motor Oil provides superior protection from deposits, wear, heat and friction – the four major causes of engine breakdown. Our Dual Defense Additive Technology combines an innovative additive booster with a fortified detergent system to fight sludge and help keep engines clean for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. Valvoline Extended Protection Full Synthetic is 10x stronger against oil breakdown and offers 24x stronger protection against engine-killing contaminants than the industry-leading full synthetic. And thanks to an exceptional range of temperature protection, your engine will be ready for extreme summer heat or frigid winter weather. Formulated to exceed the latest industry engine oil specifications (API SP, ILSAC GF-6 and GM dexos1), Valvoline Extended Protection Full Synthetic is our best oil, and your best choice, whether you drive a Toyota Camry, Ford F150, Chevy Silverado or anything in between.
Anything a conventional motor oil can do Valvoline Advanced Full Synthetic can do better. Designed with the highest quality base oils and additives, it delivers 25% better deposit protection and 40% better protection against wear than industry standards.
