Steps to clean your car's air filter:
1. Find the location of the air filter: It is usually located in the engine compartment, near the side of the engine.
2. Make sure the engine is cool: Before checking or cleaning the air filter, make sure the engine has cooled down completely to avoid burns.
3. Open the hood: Find and open the hood so that you can access the air filter.
3. Locate the air filter box: The air filter is usually located in a black plastic or metal box.
4. Remove the air filter box: Unscrew or unfasten the screws or clips that secure the air filter box.
5. Remove the old filter: Remove the old air filter from the box, being careful not to damage the filter box.
6. Check the condition of the filter: If there is only a small amount of dust on the filter, you can clean it. If the filter is already very dirty or damaged, it is recommended to replace it.

8. Check the integrity of the filter: After cleaning, check the filter for tears or holes that may affect its performance.
9. Reinstall the filter: If the filter is in good condition, put it back into the filter box and make sure it is properly seated.

There is nothing simple about complex engine oil formulations. Effectively explaining to your customer how Valvoline’s Restore & Protect motor oil removes and prevents engine deposits may seem like a tough task.
Dr. Michael Warholic, global technology director for Valvoline Global Operations, emphasizes the importance of visual evidence
“Hey, look how this product performs,” said Warholic. “We have visuals showing that there’s a removal of deposits, that there is a reversing of the aging process in an engine. That’s a great case story to tell.”
Warholic talks with Babcox Content Director Jason Morgan about the formulation process that sets Restore & Protect apart. The process involves a balance of various additives and components, tested rigorously in both laboratory and real-world conditions. It also involves combining base oils, viscosity modifiers, and a unique blend of additives. These additives include detergents to clean deposits, friction modifiers to reduce engine strain, and antioxidants to combat the breakdown of oil components. The goal was to create a motor oil that not only prevents the formation of new deposits but also removes existing ones, effectively rejuvenating the engine.
“We wanted to do something different than everybody else,” said Warholic. “That’s what Restore and Protect does. It differentiates us from our competitors. It does something that no other oil does in the marketplace right now.”
Restore & Protect could be considered a new category of motor oil that bridges the gap between conventional oils and high-mileage formulations. While high-mileage oils are designed for older engines, Restore & Protect is suitable for both new and aging engines. Its dual function of preventing new deposits and reversing existing ones makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of vehicles.
This innovation is particularly valuable for engines operating under severe conditions, such as those used for towing or in high-traffic areas. The oil’s ability to handle these demanding environments while maintaining engine cleanliness offers a significant advantage over standard motor oils.
“There’s always engine oil. Formulating is a little bit about give and take. The engine is a very complex machine. You have different temperatures, different pressures. It is really a very interesting field when you start digging into it.”
“We do tons of data-driven testing. That’s what we live for.”
