Thanks. Now I know what's in the 20 qts I picked up at Autozone for $2 each. Looks like my 96 Blazer should be around for the next 2 years or so.

A nice load of moly and a healthy amount of calcium. With a 11.8 cSt viscosity, this is a sturdy oil that will hold up to some tough applications!

Thanks for posting this Maxlife syn VOA.

It's a beutifull oil, especially for clearnace prices. It will keep my wifes high reving MIVEC Outlander happy for the next year and a half or two.

Lottsa moly and calcium plus the viscosity is something I want in the higher revving engine in my garage. I can't wait to see some UOA's on this oil. I think we got a great deal with this AZ clearance. I believe this oil has a TBN of 10 as well so I am going to drift around 5k-7500 OCI's with it.

Mo at 255! Ca at 3k levels!

All for $2 bucks.

Compare this to the same priced but weak add packed $2 Havoline Syn at AZ..and its a no contest.
