Valvoline Maxlife Syntetic

[toyotaguy]

Just wanted to let you guys know, that there is a walmart in Portage Indiana that carry's the Maxlife FULL Synthetic oil in 5w30 and 10w30. They have it in the 5 qt jugs or 1 qt bottles. Not sure if anyone else is around this area but I know some were saying they couldn't find the full synthetic

wow...very surprised.....from my past visits to all the walmarts in my town, never have i seen anyone carrying MaxLife Full Synthetic!

 

[toyotaguy]

yeah, im on the boarder of michigan and indana so I buy if I want it I can get it there now that I think about it, O'rileys autoparts also had it in Merriville Ind

 

[Jakegday]

i too have read about it being hard to find. my wal mart has had it in stock, in both weights, since i joined this site

 

[postjeeprcr]

My Walmart has both weights, in quart size and 5 quart size.

I've always been able to find it at both O'Reilly's and Walmart. Also you can buy it by the bottle from a VIOC.

 

[toyotaguy]

well I really didn't need it but I bought the 5 qt jug for 22 dollars

Kragens here in Cali has it, but its $7 a quart.

The walmart on coldwater road in Fort Wayne, IN has it as well. 5/30 and 10/30.

nfs480 do you just go in and they have it on a shelf? Or do you have to order it? I have a VIOC about 2 minutes from my house that would be awesome if they had it.

 

[nfs480]

Yeah, we keep it in the basement in quart bottles (i'm a senior tech at the local VIOC)

EDIT: The manager may try to talk you into letting them change it instead, but I know it's possible to just buy it by the quart (i've done it)

N.E. Ohio WM's carry Vavoline M.L. in all sizes and blends, I didnt realize Full syn was harder to come by....$22.50 a 5 qt jug, kinda pricey if you ask me.

I'm a big fan of maxlife blend, but is this oil worth it at 7 dollars a qt?

 

[toyotaguy]

I bought the 5 qt jug for 22 bucks. So its about the same as mobil 1 jugs.

According to the .pdfs on Valvoline's site, the 5w-30 versions of the blend and full have almost identical specs. I wonder what differences between them would crop up in actual use.

 

[crazyoildude]

Not worth $7.00 a quart

Yes, that's true. They say in the FAQ section that the full synthetic gives the maximum protection. However, the comparisons with the 10W30s are different. Take a look at the VIs, FP, Cold Crank and Noacks in the 10W30s.

Blend

Full Synthetic

I will be using the 10W30 Synthetic with a mixture of their 5W40 Synpower MST in my next OC
