It's all about money, different companies using different ways of getting there. The fact that they blatantly promote the 3,000 mile drain interval in 2008 isn't good though.


But, what if they are on to something that we are not? What if good wear readings doesn't mean "clean engine"?


It doesn't. Taking a look inside to make sure it's clean does

People seem to have stopped liking it quite as much here, but I still think the Valvoline Maxlife Blend is one of the best motor oils available at any price.

Stupid ads do give me pause though.

Brand new to the site. Just curious what problems people have had with Valvoline All Climate. Two cars that I no longer own currently have- 88 Accord- 244k miles / 93 Accord 186k miles never had oil issues with the All Climate. Low oil consumption no sludge.

conventional motor oil gives mechanics steady work.

There are a lot better semi-syns and dinos out there to worry about Val-vo-lean conventional.

Personally I found Valvoline AC to be ok. Do you you have any experiences to back this up or is your comment based on general oil analysis. Not challenging your comment just trying to find info.
