Hey folks, welcome to the Smogentire podcast. This week's episode is brought to you by

Valvelin, the original motor oil. Valvelin is America's first motor oil brand.

From the first high mileage to the first synthetic blend to the first racing oil,

they've never stopped pursuing innovation to maximize engine life.

Valvelin's latest innovation, extended protection, full synthetic motor oil,

provides 50% better wear protection than industry standards,

and is 10 times stronger against oil breakdown.

Valvelin extended protection is specifically formulated with dual defense additive technology,

combining an innovative additive, boosted with a fortified detergent system.

You may not think you're a severe driver, but short trips,

towing, extreme temperatures, turbocharged engines, or heavy loads,

and spirited drives will put extra pressure on your engine.

That's why you need dual defense additive technology.

I love Valvelin because their racing history shows that these oils will hold up

to the stresses of my daily life.

They're the only motor oil with a dedicated engine lab,

where they can run specialized engine tests and standardized engine tests in their own facility,

and they're the world's number one supplier of EV battery fluids,

offering tailored products to help extend vehicle range and efficiency.

And now you can get Valvelin at your local auto parts store,

ask for it by name, extended protection, full synthetic motor oil,
