[ccapital83]

How many miles on the vehicle? And I would probably say Valvoline maxlife if I had to pick.

my bad i just hit 110k and see signs of tiny leaks possibly starting so im ready to make the switch ive been using syn oil since i bought car.

M1 5W/10W-30HM are the only full syn HM besides the sometimes hard to find, full syn Maxlife. Your choices are limited to these 2. For leaks, the syn blend ML works best for me. This syn blend oil can go 5-6000 miles usually.

i found a walmart kinda near me that has maxlife full syn ill prolly try that i didnt realize the choices were that few

My sons 91 Ranger has 349K all on M1 oils. For the last 40K he has been using M1 5-30HM and the engine is still running great.

i get cold winters so i should stick with 530 right or with hm should i do 1030

Go with Mobil 1 HM 5w30 , I have it as my current fill and have not regretted it runs great , while protecting my motor.

Mobil 1 HM 5w30 is probably whats going to work best for your needs.

ccap - We can hardly ever go wrong with a lower 'first' number.
Especially so in winter conditions. So the 5-30 version would get my vote, for sure.

Valvoline Maxlife "Full" synthetic, not the maxlife synthetic blend.

If cant find in stock parts house should be able to order. Maxlife can be found everywhere but typically its the "blend" but they do make a maxlife full synthetic.

Seal conditions, moly, runs thick in the 30 grade range.

so idk whats going on the bottle says maxlife full synthetic in blue letter on the fron of the 5 quart jug. big blue capital letters like this FULL SYNTHETIC. but the back on the bottom says maxlife has always used a synthetic blend. [censored] how can they say both how do you know which it is. maxlife oil is like 16 a jug and its red this jug is silver and says fullsyn on front and was 21 so wierd
