Purpose and Specifications

Valvoline MaxLife 5W-40 1L is a premium full synthetic engine oil designed to extend the life of high-mileage engines over 75,000 miles (120,000 km). It fights leaks, sludge, deposits, and friction with special seal conditioners and detergents that keep seals soft and engines clean, reducing oil burn-off even in older vehicles.

This oil flows instantly at cold starts down to -30°C for quick protection and stays strong up to 150°C under heavy loads, perfect for petrol, diesel, and LPG engines in cars, vans, and light trucks. It meets tough specs like ACEA A3/B3/B4, API SN/CF, VW 502.00/505.00, MB 229.3, and Renault RN0700/0710, making it ideal for European brands like VW, Mercedes, and Renault.

• Revives high-mileage engines: Cleans sludge and deposits for smoother running.
• Reduces wear: Strong film protects parts during hot summers or cold winters.
• Longer oil life: Handles extended drains up to 15,000 km or 12 months.

When to Use / Replace?

Use Valvoline MaxLife 5W-40 if your engine has over 75,000 miles (120,000 km), shows oil leaks, higher consumption, or sludge buildup. Switch at your next oil change for better protection in daily drives, towing, or stop-go traffic.

Replace every 10,000-15,000 km (6,000-9,000 miles) or 12 months, or sooner if towing heavy loads or in extreme heat over 35°C. Shelf life is 5 years unopened when stored cool and dry.
