This "green movement" what a bunch of garbage, I guess we see the true colors now. JK.
I am joking of course I hope this will shut up some of these critics. I know we need more data but this is a great indication of a great wearing engine and a great oil.

Single-digit wear and TBN above 4.0 clearly indicates it can be used for 7-8k miles or longer, if driving habit is the same.
VERY nice! It seems like these engines settle out after a few tens of thousands of miles and with a good oil, don't throw much metal from then on out.
Nice job Mr Green.
I was expecting alot higher wear numbers. Usually these Chevy V8's don't do well on 5W-30.
Looks good. Again, nice to see the "green" interest.
Looks great, trying it in the old truck next time.
wasnt expecting a tbn like that out of valvoline
makes me more confident in using the nexgen in my Sonata
Now I am impressed I must say. The sodium levels are fairly typical of Valvoline, is that a correct statement?

Yes. Not sure which oils of theirs definitely don't have 'much' added, but the MaxLife seems to have higher sodium levels for sure. 300-350 ppm seems typical. Which is why it's encouraged to use another oil trying to track a coolant leak. I'm having to get away from their MaxLife 'red bottle' in my father's S-10 Chevy to do just that.
To be clear, I use and would recommend their MaxLife product.
