Frequently Asked Questions About Valvoline MaxLife Full Synthetic Motor Oil

What is the difference between MaxLife Synthetic Blend motor oil and MaxLife Synthetic motor oil?
MaxLife Synthetic Blend combines synthetic and conventional motor oils to improve performance and gas mileage without having to convert to a full synthetic formula. MaxLife Synthetic motor oil is fully synthetic and offers the greatest protection available.

I mixed MaxLife Synthetic Blend and MaxLife Synthetic; will this cause a problem?
Mixing synthetic and synthetic blended oils will not cause any problems. The oils are compatible.

Do I have to wait until my car reaches 75,000 miles before I can use MaxLife?
Valvoline MaxLife motor oil is designed for high mileage vehicles of 75,000 miles or more. However, it is perfectly acceptable for use in new or used vehicles with less than 75,000 miles.

My owner's manual says to only use motor oil featuring the American Petroleum Institute (API) starburst. I don't see it on the MaxLife bottle. Is it still ok to use in my car?
MaxLife is formulated with specialized additives that help fight the problems typically found in higher mileage engines. Because MaxLife's formula is focused for maximum performance in stopping the four major causes of engine breakdown - Leaks, Deposits, Sludge, and Friction - it was not formulated to exceed API criteria for fuel economy (also known as the API starburst on packaging labels). However, the difference between average fuel economy results for MaxLife and other motor oils that meet the API criteria is still very minimal. More importantly, if you want the extra protection that MaxLife offers then you can use MaxLife in any vehicles that specifies enhanced fuel economy motor oils (API starburst).

Valvoline's Engine Guarantee Program can cover your engine if it fails

Is MaxLife covered by the Valvoline Engine Guarantee program?
Yes. The Valvoline Engine Guarantee covers your engine if it fails, hassle free. If you have 125,000 miles or less, using Valvoline's MaxLife Full Synthetic Motor Oil can give you an engine guarantee up to 300,000 miles. Registration required, visit www.engineguarantee.com to learn more.

Has MaxLife always been a synthetic blend?
MaxLife Synthetic Blend motor oil is actually the same product as regular MaxLife. MaxLife has always been a synthetic blend oil; we just now label the product that way. It is the same oil as before. As long as you have used MaxLife, you have used synthetic blended oil.

Once MaxLife is installed in my car, how long does it take for the oil to start sealing and protecting my engine?
The oil will start conditioning seals immediately. Other protective benefits vary by vehicle.

How is MaxLife Synthetic motor oil different from SynPower Synthetic motor oil?
MaxLife Synthetic motor oils contain stop leak additives to help with oil consumption and extra detergents to help with the cleaning of an older engine.

Why is there no mileage limit given on MaxLife Synthetic motor oil? Mobil 1 says 15,000 miles and Amsoil says 25,000 miles?
Valvoline recommends following the oil change intervals recommended in your owner's manual no matter what type of oil you use. Most manufacturers recommend every 3-months/3,000 miles.

Valvoline NextGen - Starts Better Than Crude Oil, Ends Better Than New Oil

Used oil is better than crude for making new oil, and it goes through the same refining process. NextGen is part used oil that’s made to exceed industry specs and match Valvoline protection. Plus, because it saves resources, it’s better than new oil.

Proven Quality

Oil additives wear out, most oil molecules don't

NextGen starts from a better place than crude oil. Used oil has less contaminants and more oil molecules, so it's better than crude for making new oil. Using the same refining processes as crude, Valvoline then combines special additives for a formula that exceeds industry specifications and delivers the same protection as premium conventional oil. NextGen is so good, it's even backed by Valvoline's Engine Guarantee Program.

Best of all, because recycling saves resources, NextGen protects more than your engine--it also protects the environment.

There's a lot of life left in used oil
Finished motor oil is generally made from 85% base oil and 15% additives. The "oil part" of motor oil doesn't really wear out. As oil goes through the drain cycle in the engine, it's the additives that wear out. At the same time, contaminants like fuel, metals and sludge build-up in the oil. But the vast majority of oil molecules do not breakdown and are fully usable. The recycled oil in NextGen goes through a multi-stage refining process to remove contaminants and additives to create fresh base oil. Then Valvoline adds-in award-winning chemistry to create new oil performance that's 50% recycled.

The Importance of Used Oil Recycling

Recycled oil has a smaller "carbon footprint"

Every year, approximately 800 million gallons of motor oil are used in U.S. cars and trucks. When you consider that one gallon of motor oil can contaminate up to one million gallons of drinking water, you can see the importance of ensuring that all of those gallons make their way to a recycling center.

Recycled oil is better for the environment
Recycled oil reduces impact on the environment vs. oils made without recycled content. The amount of energy used to find, drill, transport and refine crude oil is significant. Recycled oil eliminates or reduces many of these steps, and therefore has a smaller "carbon footprint," reduces energy consumption and lowers pollutants that contribute to climate change. Recycled oil also helps reduce the need for new drilling and crude refining, reusing what's already been pulled out of the ground.

Valvoline created NextGen to reduce impact on the environment without sacrificing performance
If drivers switch to NextGen, it would reduce the need for 1.6 billion quarts of oil. That's enough oil to stack barrels from New York to Los Angeles and back every year.

Frequently Asked Questions About Valvoline NextGen

Is Valvoline NextGen recycled oil just dirty oil that has been cleaned?
No. NextGen uses newer refining process just like crude oil refining. A multi-stage refining process removes contaminants and additives to create fresh oil that performs as good as new. Then special additives are blended to create motor oil with superior performance and protection characteristics compared to specifications. Valvoline has a rigorous quality control process to assure that NextGen is of the highest quality.

Why is NextGen only made from 50% recycled oil instead of 100% recycled oil?
Just like crude oil refining, re-refining of used oil creates base oils of different quality levels. And we select only those recycled base oils that meet our exacting quality standards. At this time, there is only enough of the highest-quality recycled base oils to make a 50% blend. We are continually working with oil re-refiners to generate more of the top-quality base oil, and we certainly hope to move the percentage of recycled base oils higher in the future.

Are there any disadvantages of using recycled oil versus virgin crude?
None at all. With today's re-refining processes, quality is not compromised, and performance is assured. The only disadvantage of using re-refined base stock oil is limited availability.

Will using recycled motor oil void my manufacturer's warranty?
No. All major car manufacturers have approved the use of recycled motor oil that is properly certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). Valvoline NextGen recycled motor oil carries and exceeds all API certifications.

Valvoline's Engine Guarantee Program can cover your engine if it fails

Is NextGen covered by the Valvoline Engine Guarantee program?
Yes. The Valvoline Engine Guarantee covers your engine if it fails, hassle free. If you have 125,000 miles or less, using Valvoline NextGen can give you an engine guarantee up to 225,000 miles. Registration required, visit www.engineguarantee.com to learn more.

Is it safe to switch to NextGen if I have been using another motor oil?
Yes. NextGen delivers the performance you need and the protection you expect. It's reformulated to the highest standards, and backed by the Valvoline Engine Guarantee.

Is recycled oil better for the environment?
Yes. Recycling motor oil prevents used oil from contaminating the soil and water. Recycled oil also uses 56% fewer resources compared to oil made without recycled content.

What is the best way to return used oil for re-refining?
Take care to place used oil in a clean plastic container with a tight lid, and never store used oil in a container that has held chemicals, food, or beverages. Oil should not be mixed with anything else, such as antifreeze, solvent, or paint. Don't forget that additional oil can be recovered by draining used oil filters. Thoroughly drained filters can be disposed of in household trash. You'll find that many automotive retailers and municipalities collect used motor oil for recycling.

How often do I need to change my oil when I use NextGen motor oil?
Valvoline recommends changing oil every 3,000 miles. Most consumers (more than 80% of drivers, according to a State of California study) drive under what is considered severe driving conditions (stop and go, short trips, towing, or very hot or very cold temperatures). So, changing the oil and filter every 3,000 miles is the best way to ensure engine health.

Why doesn't Valvoline put re-refined oil in all your motor oil products?
Our estimates indicate that availability of the high quality re-refined base stock Valvoline requires to produce NextGen is limited. As supply of recycled oil increases, we'll continue to explore alternative formulations.

Why did Valvoline decide to make NextGen motor oil?
Valvoline is constantly exploring ways to continue to innovate and deliver greater value to our customers. The combination of improvements in re-refining technology and our proprietary formula has allowed us to create a product that delivers 100% Valvoline quality in a product made up of 50% recycled oil. We are extremely excited about bringing a product to market that is better for the environment and great for your engine.

Valvoline NextGen conventional motor oil is a breakthrough formula motor oil that delivers 100 percentage Valvoline protection from 50 percentage recycled oil. Valvoline NextGen recycled oil cuts crude use, lowers emissions and reduces environmental impact when compared to oil made without recycled content. It is triple filtered to remove micro-impurities and then re-refined to restore the right chemical properties. An advanced additive package is added and blended and packaged. NextGen exceeds demanding industry API specifications for wear protection viscosity protection and sludge protection.
