I just recently picked up a jug of Valvoline MaxLife synthetic for my v6 Mustang. I was suprised my Wal-Mart is now carrying it. My question is though, should I use a high mileage synthetic oil? My car has 91,000 miles on it and does not leak. It doesn't consume much oil either. I just think that the Chevron Supreme I have might be too thin for my application (requires 5w-30). What do you think? Thanks!

I would go with just good old fasioned synpower then. Save the maxlife for leakers and consumers. Or stick with MC blend.

Use a high Mileage oil....MaxLife is a great oil that I've been using for awhile now. I use a 5w30 which I feel is a perfect weight for my use and climate. The 10w30 might be OK for California.
Be sure you use a good upper tier oil filter (pass-up Frams), such as Purolator PureOne or its clone, Bosch Preminum.

If the Chevron is 5W-30, it is fine for your application requiring 5W-30. It's actually that simple!

It is a great oil and you should use it. Someone saying that you only use it for cars that have leaks is plain crazy.
This is one of the best/robust oils on the mkt for any car. New car or a high mileage car, it has great numbers and should work great for your application. The Maxlife semi blend would probably work just as good in your car as the full synthetic and costs only around $15 for 5 quarts. At that price I would just change it every 5K or even 7K should be fine.
