One of my best friends was one of the chemist that designed MaxLife. (I will
not disclose his name because I do not want him to get fired, and I do not
want to lose a good friend and fishing buddy) This is what he told me about
MaxLife: It is made from a Group II basestock just as the regular Valvoline
oil is. It has basically the same additive package as the regular Valvoline
except for the small amount of Moly Disulfide added to it. It also has
around 9% ester base added to it for it's seal conditioning factors.
He explained to me (his words) that when you look at the MaxLife spec sheet
and see where it says 12%-22%, it is refering to the entire additive
package, including the esters.
He also told me that in Europe, they sell MaxLife as a blend. It is a blend
of Group II and esters, with the esters being around 17%, and it also has
the Moly Disulfide in it.
Now, he did not put this in writing to me, nor would I ask him to. There are
all kinds of opinions of what this product is, but I will take his word for
it, since he helped to design it.
IT IS A GOOD PRODUCT.
