Valvoline MaxLife Full Synthetic - Where to buy?

[dubie2003]

I am I. The hunt for valvoline MaxLife full synthetic. I know this is hard to find but dang, I am striking out everywhere.

For those who have found it, where? Also, what is the going price? I am hoping to find it in the 5qt jug if at all possible to save on cost but if ncluded n a filter sale, I will get the singles.

I am looking to run a mix of this, synpower and vr1 in the wife's car that seems to be burning a qt every 2k to see if anything happens. P.s. I use napa syn as top offs if that matters.

Meijer (a grocery store/department store) carries it here in Michigan.

Pep Boys and Amazon are the only places I've seen it.

I get Maxlife Syn at O'Reilly's for about $7.50/qt-- you have to ask for it since they keep it in the back.

Thanks for the links everyone. I have seen the Amazon link but was hoping to get a better price then 7.50/qt. I will keep searching my local area but I may end up having to go with Amazon or suck it up and get the blend w/ filter for 25 at AAP/AZ.

If you read comments I think you will find this is the blend-photo may be wrong!

Isn't Maxlife a semi synthetic and not full?

There's Maxlife (red bottle), Maxlife Nextgen (green bottle), and Maxlife Full Synthetic (silver bottle).

The Maxlife and Nextgen Maxlife are synthetic blends and then the Full Synthetic is full synthetic.

I thought of Meijer, which we have here, and who do stock Maxlife full syn, but I don't think you have them in Florida.
Some Walmarts carry Maxlife full syn.
Have you checked Walmart's .com site for availability?

I've NEVER seen this stuff at ANY of the area (including Pa.) peppies, or China Marts, nor even on the shelf at ANY NAPAs.

Ashland has practically made this a 'boutique oil' (as far as I'm concerned) in that one MUST mail order/internet it, to get it.

Some years ago I bought several jugs Maxlife synthetic from Walmart at clearance price, since then I didn't see it anywhere.

 

[ArtDart]

O'Reilly's had it for $5.29 a qt
for the last couple of months around here.
It was all SM, not SN....Running it in the truck

I bought 5 quarts at Advanced Auto ~6 months ago when they had the rebate on it

 

[dubie2003]

I have checked AZ/AAP/WM and none of them even show it online anymore. NAPA seems to be my only brick-n-motor option. I am going to try carquest and then I may need to decide if I want to go red bottle or keep on the hunt or just settle for amazon.

Does anyone else have any options for brick-n-motor in Florida? Or someone that ships for free? Or site to store?

O'Reilly locations tend to have it. I purchased a 5-quart jug from WM's website last year.

I found 24qts of 10w-30 VML Full Synthetic for $2.99 each at my local Advanced Auto. The cashier asked if I had a lot of cars to change the oil in. I said yes, but I told her I know, thanks in part to BITOG, that this is an excellent price on a great oil that is all but impossible to find.

My local O'reilys stocks it as well.

I'm going to try some auto stores in ft. Meyers this weekend while I am over there. Maybe I will be able to find the AAP deal that others have seen in the past.
