Valvoline’s MaxLife Higher Mileage Motor Oil – Fight the Four Major Causes of Engine Breakdown

Keeping your higher mileage car on the road means doing everything you can to protect it from engine breakdown.

MaxLife motor oil extends the life of higher mileage engines by fighting the four major causes of breakdown–leaks, deposits, sludge and friction. The synthetic blend formula contains our Multi-Life additive system designed to combat these problems unique to older engines. In fact, no leading conventional motor oil is formulated to protect higher mileage engines better.

Engine breakdown is a greater risk when you demand more from your engine. Higher mileage motor oil lasts longer and provides your engine with the added protection it needs so you can keep your engine running smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Valvoline’s MaxLife

What is the difference between MaxLife Synthetic Blend motor oil and MaxLife Synthetic motor oil?
MaxLife Synthetic Blend combines synthetic and conventional motor oils to improve performance and gas mileage without having to convert to a full synthetic formula. MaxLife Synthetic motor oil is fully synthetic and offers the greatest protection available.

I mixed MaxLife Synthetic Blend and MaxLife Synthetic; will this cause a problem?
Mixing synthetic and synthetic blended oils will not cause any problems. The oils are compatible.

Do I have to wait until my car reaches 75,000 miles before I can use MaxLife?
Valvoline MaxLife motor oil is designed for high mileage vehicles of 75,000 miles or more. However, it is perfectly acceptable for use in new or used vehicles with less than 75,000 miles.

My owner’s manual says to only use motor oil featuring the American Petroleum Institute (API) starburst. I don’t see it on the MaxLife bottle. Is it still ok to use in my car?
MaxLife is formulated with specialized additives that help fight the problems typically found in higher mileage engines. Because MaxLife’s formula is focused for maximum performance in stopping the four major causes of engine breakdown – Leaks, Deposits, Sludge, and Friction – it was not formulated to exceed API criteria for fuel economy (also known as the API starburst on packaging labels). However, the difference between average fuel economy results for MaxLife and other motor oils that meet the API criteria is still very minimal. More importantly, if you want the extra protection that MaxLife offers then you can use MaxLife in any vehicles that specifies enhanced fuel economy motor oils (API starburst).

The oil will start conditioning seals immediately. Other protective benefits vary by vehicle.
