The Valvoline is excellent. API SP has forced better Xw20 oils.

But the valvoline high mileage full synthetic oil only have two-digit ppm of moly? How? Maxlife suppose to offer superior protection！

The latest reformulation apparently has more moly, the new black bottle syn-blend maxlife for cars with 150000+ miles is supposed to have a lot of moly in it based on the marketing wank, but I haven't seen a UOA or VOA of it yet.
