I know that the Maxlife Blend is a very stout oil and I am using it in my Odyssey because of the this reason along with the high Moly count, however I have read that this is not a great extended OCI oil. Will this 5W20 oil be okay in my 3.5L for 7500 miles you think, or should I do 5000 mile OCIs? Driving is about 50/50 mix with highway being about 15minutes/10miles each way 3-4 days a week.

There are a few Maxlife UOA posted here where it survived well to 7500 miles. Many people wouldn't consider that "extended", and I don't think Maxlife would be safe to 10,000+ miles, but 7500 under with your driving conditions I think would be safe.
I'd stick with 5000 mile OCI's max. I am a 3OOO mile fanatic. Maxlife is a good oil but it gets dirty too. Keep that engine clean.

I can't find the full synthetic anywhere by me. I can only find Mobil High Mileage. I am wondering if I should just stick with the Platinum for 7500 OCI's, just thought that I could save $7 and also Hondas like lots of Moly.
hmmmmm....now Im not goin to sleep tonight!

I bleed yellow (pennzoil yellow that is) and I happened to catch MaxLife syn blend at a price that a tried and true BITOGer couldn't pass up... sooo, the used oil analysis was simply fantastic. Very impressed with the MaxLife, I put 5,500 on it and still had a TBN of 3.7 or something like that, granted it was on a 03 corolla that is pretty easy on oil but nonetheless, it is an excellent oil. 5K should be a walk in the park for this oil.
