Perfect volume for my 6QT sump.

Voluminous use of the word "unsurpassed" suggests literary license by the marketing department or this is the greatest oil of all time.

Someone will buy it thinking that they will never have to change their oil again.

New labels work Marketing 101, but then look at the specs and the oil could be considered New and improved.

It seems like quite a few major players are starting to offer full synthetics that are dexos certified.

Nice!

I agree... I thought the same thing.

Maybe it could have labeled "One and Done"....

Glad to see Havoline advancing. Lose the cardboard boxes though

It’s “Lifelong” oil. That’s a good OCI.

Seriously, a lot of clueless people would take it that way.

edit: I didn’t see Pimtac’s post. Apologies.

Been ordering and using this oil for a couple of years in all my vehicles..

Why? You hate plastic jugs too.

I just recently had an OCI with this oil in 5W30.
Being it's LIFELONG my engine will never need another OCI. Good thing I have a M1 oil filter on it.

My boxes of Havoline ProDS SP do not have the "lifelong" designation. Since the price is unchanged I suspect this to be a marketing revision.

Boxes are too hard to pour from in my opinion.

Not exactly. Looks like Havoline has added seal conditioners and other additives to the old ProDS formula.

I don't know about that AM. When I was watching my son pour the oil from the box it looked quite easy. There's a punch in piece on the side of the box for a handle, and the cap is fixed upon the top after pulling it from the box. Cardboard is not slippery like plastic.
Don't get me wrong, I used to like the plastic containers myself when I was doing OCI's.

I spilt half of it on the engine because it was too wide and the handle broke.

That would persuade me not to purchase again again too.

Have you used a 6qt Chevron boxes or just those overly cumbersome 12qt half bay boxes.
