Maxlife, Standard vs. Synthetic

[JZiggy]

I realize a PDS is only part of the story of a motor oil's performance, but compare the data:

Standard Maxlife (synth blend):

Full Synthetic Maxlife:

The only benefit I see is in the lower NOACK of the 10w30 full synthetic.

Anything I'm missing here?

Pretty much.
What are you attempting to accomplish? Do you plan on running this in a 10,000-15,000 mile interval?

BTW, These ARE motor oils, not the ATF.
The ATF, at least the last time I read through the PDF, IS a Full Synthetic.

Just put the syn blend 5w30 in my truck with 213k miles and it totally quieted down my 5.4 startup rattle. I gotta say I'm pretty pleased with it so far...

Longer drain interval.

Whoops! Meant to post this in the motor oil forum.

Thanks, MolaKule
