Valvoline Maxlife 0w20 Synth blend?

[HKPolice]

Did anyone try this oil before? Specs here: http://content.valvoline.com/pdf/maxlife.pdf

Does anyone know what percentage of the basestock is synthetic? Would the seal conditioners damage anything in new engines?

Any experience/input would be appreciated. Planning on using it in a 2015 Corolla for 8-10K mile intervals, would the high NOACK & blended basestock be an issue?

Thanks!

So, let's guess...For a semi to be a decent 0w20 oil (good VI, with fine shear stability), I'd assume, at least 30% synthetic of group III in base. With that Noak volatility, for a 0w20, I'd call a little bit more on this one. Maybe in the 40% range.

It is SN rated; if the appropriate grade, it is certainly appropriate for your car.

Thanks for the link! I guess no one cares about this particular grade & type of oil since it seems to be rare in the states as well.
