Valvoline warrants MaxLife blend and full synthetic MaxLife for new engines and rebuilt engines.
Compared to the regular oil, MaxLife has a heavier base oil, higher HTHS, is thicker, higher 40C and 100C cSt, more antiwear additives, more antioxidants, and maybe more or more effective seal conditioners. I do not know if they actually have more seal conditioners or are drawing more attention to the seal conditioners they already have. They will not say and Mobil 1 will not say concerning their HM oils.
