Which apparently your engine is able to properly contend with.
Valvoline maxlife synthetic blend

A lot of off the shelf API oils would have in all likelihood given very similar results. Decent oil but nothing special.
More than likely. Blackstone themselves have stated that there is no statistically significant difference in UOA results between any oil they have tested. It's the wrong tool for that job.
I currently have MaxLife in my Jeep 4.0L and somehow the engine isn't leaking and still full of oil, which is rare for a 4.0L. It did slow some of the seeping I had from the engine. Also currently using the MaxLife synthetic 5w30 in my dad's Grand Cherokee with the 5.7L.

When I had my 2008 Tacoma 4 cyl. At 60K it had a bit of weepage in several spot on the valve cover gaskets. Tried the 5w-20 Maxlife Blend, the weeping never got worse. Seemed to have worked. Continued using until I traded it at age 10. The 20w-50 cut the oil comsumption on my Old Beemer by 3/4. It had leaky pushrod tube seals and several others leaks here and there.
I started using it at 200,000 miles in my 2005 5.3 Chevy truck. Currently at 225,000 miles with no runs, drips or errors. Just ordered 3 five qt jugs 10w30 flavor from WOOT for $39.99 per a post here in the sale and rebate section with free shipping for Amazon Prime members….woot woot! 
I have been using Maxlife 10w30 in my Jeep for the last 4-5 years. I had a slight rear main seal leak and it hasn't dripped since I started using it.
Jeep is at 207,000mi.

Yeah but that's Blackstone
Yeah, I don’t believe anything blackstone says. Their comments are very stupid.
They do know what they are talking about here. Besides, no oil license nor approval uses a simple spectrographic analysis as part of the certification process. It’s nowhere near the tool for that - except on Bitog.
Classic hm botle
I seen it in quarts at dollar general of all places
I've only used 10w40 Syn Blend Maxlife, here in Europe it is an A3/B4 oil with a very good add pack, lots of Zddp, Moly, and now it's SP rated.
Every engine I've used it in made it run quieter , leak less oil and burn less oil.
Recommended it to friends and they also almost unanimously agree they can feel a difference in one thing or the other, although it is a fair bit more expensive here than most other brands of 10w40 and few brick and mortar stores sell Valvoline here in Spain, even in my city that has over half a million population and both small and large parts stores i can only think of one and I'm not even sure.
