full syn maxlife SM ... any good?

[08sienna]

my local AAP was clearing out full syn maxlife 10W-30 for $3.95/qt so I bought 4 for my corolla. Is this oil same as SN rating? Does anyone know where I can see the PDS for this oil in SM rating?

Thank you.

Yes it's good.

Very good oil.

It was BMW LL01 approved in the SM formulation.

Excellent oil at a very good price. There is some in my mothers car right now, and it runs very smoothly on it.

Got a jug of it waiting to use this summer or fall myself!

I just picked up 17 quarts for #3.55 each, before tax, at Advance. All in SM, 5w-30....and on clearance.

According to a post by Loobed, these are from the Valvoline PDS for MaxLife Full synthetic 5w-30 and 10w-30.

There is a very healthy dose of Moly in the add pack of this full synthetic. Although the TBN seems low, there is very high quality base stock used in this full synthetic HM, MaxLife, API-SM.

SAE 5W-30; SAE 10W-30

Zinc 830
Phosphorus 760
Calcium 1910
Moly 300
TBN 8.3

IMO...I have a feeling that this oil is being discontinued......too bad....better stock up while you can.

I've heard Synpower is great stuff, I just bought a jug myself on Clearance at O's.
