Interesting. All new buzzwords in use as well. Might well be something new from them.

Now THIS does get my attention. I remember the Valvoline rep a few weeks ago telling me verbatim "Valvoline uses no moly because it's an out dated old school technology".Good catch OP,
"Multidimensional anti-wear system"
"Moly additive protection"

Gives rise to the question: when does the 150K go on clearance ?

Check out Valvoline's EU guide vs US guide. EU,5W30-10W40. US,0W20 only. Hmmmm

A high mileage 0w20 just seems silly to me. Get a 5w30 and be done with it.
Someone posted a UOA recently that was Valvoline Maxlife Full Syn and it has a healthy dose of Moly
Well since Valvoline Modern Engine is no longer a product line that they will continue to produce I presumed to think that some other product line would take its place in the product-to-address-a-unique-need scheme of things.
One question I would have, in light of the fact that Valvoline has stated that normal Maxlife is safe to use in even a new engine, I wonder if this new super high mileage Maxlife really is exclusively intended for high mileage engines to the exception of new engines or those under a certain mileage.

Maybe THIS ONE?

He's full of it. Their synthetic SP has a nice dose.
EDIT: I was so quick to jump on this lie that i didn't notice others had already called them out on it. Sorry for the repeat.
I did this on my daughter's Corolla with 200k and the oil consumption went from moderate to near zero.
I am looking at Valvoline's Euro 5w40 but can't find a UOA/VOA on it anywhere. Does anyone know if it has a similar add pack?
I'm waiting for these threads: "My car has 120k, will it explode if I use MaxLife 150k?"
