MaxLife has not lowered my oil consumption...

I'll give it a shot again.


How about a run of Maxlife in 10w40? If that doesn't help, nothing is going to IMO.

See if maybe your engine just burns oil to a certain level then stops. I know this can be difficult to do for OCD, BITOG types.

The '05 2.4 Accord I change the oil on never burns any oil during an oil change and was not broken-in hard, so I don't think it makes that much difference.


Yes...too many people don't know/understand nor have the patience to LET THE OIL LEVEL DROP to close to the "0" mark BEFORE adding any...

I have read in other forums, that when MaxLife didn't work, GTX HM did?!? I suggest you also grab couple bottles of GTX HM 10W30 to experiment with!

GTX HM is good stuff. Very thick in grade. Got a boost in oil pressure in my Trailblazer after switching to GTX HM 5w30 from conventional 5w30.

I was very high on that stuff for a while but it appears they have thinned it considerably as the new bottles are now marked "resource conserving".

Only spec sheet I can find on line is still the old one.
