valvoline Max Life

[Artjr]

How many miles should Val Maxlife with a good filter like a NAPA Gold last under normal driving conditions.

Thank You

Depends on the car. 3 quart sump on an engine known to sludge up, or a 10+ quart capacity Cadillac that's cruising the highway?

I'd say 5,000-6,000 miles is good enough

Should last the manufacturer oci for normal driving.

Anything significantly more should be checked through a UOA.

Yes, at least as long as the owner's manual non-severe schedule, but not a lot over unless verified with UOA's. which in most cars means 5,000-7,500 mi.

I would say anywhere from 4000-6000. 4000 for cars with small sump, known sludge issues, etc... and 6000 for cars that are easy on their oil, have large sumps, etc...

I run it for around 5k or once a year in my MiLs Corolla. Its not hard on oil but only holds around 4quarts.

i use it, and my sump size is only 3 quarts. My normal OCI is around 5000-6000km or 3 months

It depends entirely on what car and it's condition, so the 'best' and 'safest' answer is always going to be: whatever the manual tells you.

Thanks guys it a Dodge 4.7 liter in a full size quad cab. It holds 6 quarts of oil and has 60,000 miles on it. It is a 2005 model.

It's a blend so you can go 6-7000
If it is a full syn then go 10k

I run blends for 5-6K. My Colorado holds six quarts also.

I'm a fan of MaxLife and use it frequently in my Fusion @ 7,500 mile OCIs. Never had a bad UOA using it. Approximately 5.5 qt sump.
