I like both defy and maxlife. Cannot beat defy though the cost great.
Who Makes The Best HM 5w30 /10w30 Motor Oil

MaxLife Blend 5W/10W-30 is the best. It is a Group 3 and Group 2 blend with High Moly and HTHS but not energy conservative.
Ahoier: its probably burning oil. They all do it.
Is Maxlife HM 5W20 considered a heavier 20 weight oil? OK to use in a newer 2011 Hyundai V6?
Just curious, because I have 5 quarts of it and would use it in my wifes 2011 Santa Fe...

I like the Mobil 1 High Mileage 5w30 Its M1 Full Synthetic blended with Mobil's proprietary High Mileage additives. Used on an 02 Camry bought at auction - left for dead with a host of oil consumption/ticks/weeps at 130k. Running great at 204k, no ticks, noises, teardowns, no replacement parts. Oil consumption is currently 1/2qt every 5k, was 1/2qt every 2k at start. OCI is 7k which makes up for cost. Dont extend on the first interval though, some seriously nasty things come out.

Looking at the product sheets for Valvoline Conventional and Maxlife, the difference in their kinematic viscosity is minor, and fairly comparable to most 5W-20 oils.

I guess I could use it for a short OCI... Thanks.

In the wifes impala i've used GTXHM, MobilHM, QSHM and PenHM. It runs it's best on PenHM. It's quiter and I only have to add maybe .25 Quart during a 5k oil change. Though i've never tried maxlife. I'll stick with what I know works, lol

My choice is quaker state defy every day 14.89 for 5 quart jug at walmart 
, I already made up my mind and plant to stick with that oil on all my car for ever.
Cant wait for some one to put an UOA on it.

I've never seen an HM oil that is energy conservative...none of them earn that mark

The Mobil super HM is energy conserving.

The Mobil super HM is energy conserving.
The MSHM 10w-40 is the only grade not energy conserving. Nonetheless the MSHM oil in my niece's Mazda has stopped her oil consumption by at least 50% over a six month period. I would imagine all grades are good.
My vote is for Maxlife Full Syn if you can find it.

QS HM is also not an energy conserving oil
seriously guys
who care about energy saving or SAE certified , its high miles oil on your 100K+ or out off warranty car. who care oil is oil

No one makes the best oil for everything. Buy what is on sale and suits your engine and what allows you not to lose sleep. The last one is for all you synthetics users that could not fathom not using synthetics. Because synthetics all the way conventional has no use. Also MMO? Just say NO!
Boss what engine in your 2011 Santa fe?
Looking at HM oils, I've noticed that now Castrol and VA Maxlife now earn the energy conserving labels. Most HM oils do not. Hmmm.
