Is that 60/40 Conventional/Synthetic or vice-versa? Where did you get that information?Motorcraft or Kendall ? I think they're 60/40 or 70/30 .

Years ago I called KENDALL and was told by them . You can do the same to see if it's still the same mix ( percentage ) . Toll free .
Sure.Thanks for the replies guys. Being a noob I learned today that even full synthetic oil is not 100% synthetic oil, so these companies are misleading the customers with their " full synthetic oil" marketing. Given the small differences between base oils from group I, II and III, almost everything is a "synthetic blends".
... I've been told it helps out the high mileage vehicles and has more high mileage additives than the regular Valvoline Max life.

There are no rules, official or otherwise.Ive also heard that a synthetic blend oil has to be at least 10% synthetic to be labeled as such, and a full synthetic has to be at least 25% to be labeled as such. I have no idea if this is true, but that is what I understand from online sources. We all know how accurate those are....

Agreed, I've heard a Group-II 5W30 conventional oil would struggle to meet the requirements of API SN, however add a bit of Group-III and it passes. You now have an API SN 5W30 semi-synthetic.Synthetic is added only in the proportion needed to improve the oil's behavior for the oil to meet x requierement or spec that it wouldn't meet otherwise, oil manufacturers don't just add synthetic for the sake of additing it.
