Valvoline MaxLife High Mileage Full Synthetic 5W-20 Motor Oil 5 Quart Full Synthetic High Mileage 5 qt (Pack of 1) 5W-20
Overview
Valvoline MaxLife Full Synthetic 5W-20 is a 5-quart high-mileage motor oil formulated for gasoline engines with 75,000+ miles. Its full synthetic base and targeted additive package deliver stronger wear protection, improved sludge control, and enhanced high-temperature stability compared with standard oils. The formula includes premium seal conditioners to help reduce oil leaks and consumption common in older engines while supporting fuel economy and cold-start flow. Packaged as a single 5 qt (4.73 L) bottle, it’s suitable for most modern cars, small SUVs and hybrids that require 5W-20 viscosity. Choose this oil if you want proactive maintenance for an aging engine or if you need a reliable full-synthetic 5W-20 for routine oil changes.
