    agree to this one. naging smooth din takbo, easy cold starts pati...and one of the most affordable semi-syn in the market.

    on diesels itim naman agad yung oil no matter what it is made of. even if you start the engine for 5 mins lang, pag akyat mo ng dipstick black na sya.

    on high milage engines just match the viscosity you were using before when you switch to synthetic oil and you should be ok.

    First post po.

    Tanong lang. Ano po ang classification ng Valvoline Max Life engine oil? Yun kasi ang gamit ko sa 96 Accord ko. Ganda kasi nito sa mga old engine. Before na ka Shell Helix ako at nag le-leak yung oil pan at valve cover gasket ko, nung nag change ako sa valvoline after 1 week stop na yung leak. Smooth na smooth din ang tunog at start ng makina.

    Regular ba yun o semi-synthetic?

    it should say it on the bottle normally. look at the back.

    it may just be thicker oil kaya nawala leak... problem is some oils tend to sludge and if the sludge is what is stopping the leaks then that is even worse.

    migs, I also saw this valvoline max life at true value, viscosity I think were 10w-30, 10w-40...semi lang ba ito or fully synth na?

    I think from what I remember meron yata silang additives for seal, gasket conditioner daw...
