Valvoline High Mileage with maxlife tech semi-syn

[bradtech]

I noticed in Walmart that it appears the bottles of Maxlife have changed. It appears Valvoline is labeling it was Valvoline High Mileage with Maxlife Technology. Anyone know if the formulation has changed with the revamped naming convention? I bought a quart to top off the S10.

Nobody can say for sure. I haven't seen any VOAs or UOAs yet. I will say this - the 5w20 and 5w30 were reformulated for Dexos1 Gen1 a while back - and valvoline decided not to pursue Dexos Gen2 for these oils. So they may have gone back to the old sodium and no sulfated ash pack they used to use, or they might use the new additive pack they developed for LSPI (API SN+).

They have reworked their lineup since the new formulation.

SN plus is a plus.

Valvoline syns are dexos1 Gen2 and all their oils are SN Plus. They have not gone back to a Sodium add pack.

Exactly right Wemay. Valvoline Advanced Full Synthetic runs really quiet in my car. It is doggone good.

I'll be trying the reformulated version next, on both vehicles. Hearing good things about it. Such as you say, "runs quiet".

Had this in my daughters 1994 Mazda it seems to run just fine with 254K miles on it.

I like it as well. Engine runs quiet and smooth. Oil is still a amber honey color just as it was from the bottle.

Wemay and bbhero: thanks for the great info folks. I plan to try the advanced syn 5w20 soon
