What group is this oil? Thanks

[Bob Woods]

Oils,paraffinic,heavy,solvent dewaxed CAS#64742-65-0

The reason for asking is this is the main component of Valvoline MaxLife, the other 12-22% is PAO's.

"64" in the CAS designation identifies it as mineral oil. Strictly speaking, "solvent dewaxed" is Group I, but if it were then subjected to moderate heat, pressure, and catalyst-driven hydro-cracking, the end product would be Group II.

That Maxlife is a blend , I did not know

2. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

Ingredient(s) CAS Number % (by weight)
-------------------------------------------- ------------- -------------
ALIPHATIC PETROLEUM DISTILLATES 64742-65-0 63.0- 73.0
SYNTHETIC LUBRICATING OIL 68037-01-4 12.0- 22.0
DETERGENT/DISPERSANT ENGINE OIL PACKAGE

I think in warmer seasons the Platinum colored bottle of Synpower Engine treatment would mix well with this oil at lower treat rates so to get some Moly and more Ester . The stuff's not near

as thick as many of the " STP " like additives are .

68037-01-4 is CAS for PAO, you may just have a good idea of combining the two products to make a great blend for older vehicles.

I would like to try the Synpower Engine Treatment, but cannot find it anywhere. Most stores have the Synpower Oil Treatment, but that stuff is thick like STP.

Walmart carried it in the past , now I see it's at O'Reilly's and Autozones . One place it's 2.99 the other 3.99 .

I got the free maxlife. I am going to use the valvoline maxlife engine protector this summer to thicken it up. check the voa on it. it has 479 ppm of moly
