Maxlife Red 0W20? Any good?

API SN / GF5 covers more cars sold today than another other certification I suspect. (in the US)
If this is their target market, it is not clear any others are needed.
I'd certainly use it will no worries in cars specifying 20 weight grade, as I would any other SN/GF5 oil.

There is nothing wrong with Maxlife. Sorry about the injury.

What specs are on the Maxlife 5w-20? Maybe they didn't want to pay for the testing on the 0w-20 version?

where can I find syn power in Canada?
Is it worth to register in this warranty program...to get covered for 500000 kms...
They ask to keep receipt but I can only save receipts for oil purchase. I pay to mechanic cash to change the oil and he does not give receipt.
Another catch is that even with their synthetic oil, they are asking to change the oil every 6400 kms. . that is way too less.

Maxlife is generally good oil. If the price is right, I'd go for it

Maxlife full syn 10W30 has lower NOACK around 6% compares with semi-syn 10W30 of 10%.
Looks like Maxlife full syn in general have lower Noack than semi-syn.

Oh sorry , I thought synpower is their full synthetic high mileage oil but seems like it is not. It is the normal full synthetic. They have another full synthetic with max life technology , a full synthetic version of their famous max life....
but I don't understand one thing .. they are offering 360000 km waranty for max life synthetic blend vs 500000 for synpower which is normal full synthetic... Does is not contradictory f their own claim that high mileage engine are better with high mileage oil.....

I would use this oil with no hesitation, MaxLife is a great oil. I've never encountered the 0W-20 version in the US.

4.73L VSP is currently available for $28.88 at Walmart.
As for the Valvoline warranty, they aren't worth the paper they are written on
