My son's car. Looks like 300k plus engine like his last 2.3l. New version of Maxlife. Lots of moly. What do you think?

That looks like the old school Maxlife before they took all the moly out. Looks like they brought back the good formula!!
Makes me want to give it a go!!No additives, just straight out of the bottle from Wally'sHe added no oil additives? That high moly has me intrigued!!
Maxlife full synthetic?

Holy Moly!
I would be suspicious of those numbers since they are from Blackstone.
I do not recall any recent Valvoline formulation using that much Moly, even their new Maxlife SP (syn-blend version) uses

I think that once SP is fully out, and all SN clearanced/discounted into the hoarders rack, we'll see what has increased in this latest spec. Looks like it takes 'more' to pass those timing chain wear tests. This is good. Its not like timing chains are a recent development.
Give me more more more more more more more moly, titanium, boron, tungsten..... or combination of a few of those

Don't forget Valvoline added more zinc and phos to SP compared to the SN/+ versions plus moly and titanium, I see no reason to look else where.
Phos went from 760 to 800
Zinc went from 850 to 940
