Valvoline Maxlife Synthetic

[panthermike]

I've heard great things about maxlife, what about maxlife synthetic? Anyone use this oil?

Thanks,
Mike

I use it in my wife's Honda and it runs great. It's the same oil as Synpower MST with seal conditioners and is a great deal if you can find the 5 qt. jugs at WM.

I am running Maxlife Synthetic in my motorhome and will be for a long time with about 70 quarts on stash.

Using it in my 2003 Toyota Camry 4 banger.

Got great gas mileage on a trip to Tennessee.

Great, thanks for the responses. I figured it would be good but it isn't talked about a whole lot.

I don't think many people know it is out there. Most stores don't carry it. But Walmart does!

Yeah, that is where I found it for 18.97/gallon jug.

Really good synthetic at a really good price!

Really good synthetic - here is its about $7 per quart - so not a good price

Hard to find but excellent. Its also 505.01 rated for VW TDI owners

I use ML semi-synthetic in all my vehicles- 2 Mustangs, an F-150 and a Cobalt SS- all '06's. It's about $13 for 5 qts. at Wal Mart. Really good oil for the 5k OCI's I use...

i got about 4 quarts of the full syn max life at wal mart for around $4, last ones they had a while back.

I put some in my Mom's beater Passat. No worries using it at the 1 year interval.

 

[panthermike]

It's hard to say, I'd like to give it a try but it sure seems as if PP is hard to beat and is only $1 more for the jug at walmart.

Maxlife is great, but part of that greatness is that it is high mileage oil, which normally is made more robust (read thicker). So if you can't find Maxlife Synthetic, you can always go with Mobil 1 Synthetic high mileage.

Not gallon, 5 quart jug...

 

[TallPaul]

$18.97 for 5 quarts is a nice deal for a high quality synthetic. That's $3.80 a quart. You can pay that much for conventional these days.
