valvoline maxlife-synpower

anyone here running on this?

im thinking about getting this on my next oil change, but i hear good things about fully synthetic oils and i hear bad things, but this seems like the best treatment for a car with my milage, and i wanna take care of my camry's engine so it will last long and strong...anyone got any comments on this oil.

also im not sure if the maxlife version of syn-power is fully synthetic or not, i dont guess it is, cause that wouldnt make much sense, but ehh. i dont really know what im talking about here really!

Cool

I've been running it for the last few oil changes.

It's OK. Not the best synthetic by any means... I'll swap to AMSoil, or mobile 1 whenever I run out of my maxlife. I've been running 5000-7000 miles on mine. Comes out clean if you put some seafoam, or other additive that will clean it out past halfway in the cycle.


(That's not knocking the oil, that's knocking Toyota's crappy mounting the engine. Oil circulation in the rear bank on their v6's are horrible due to the angle)
