Purpose and Specifications

Valvoline MaxLife C3 5W-30 is a premium full synthetic engine oil designed for high-mileage engines over 75,000 km. It revitalizes performance, fights leaks, deposits, sludge, and friction with special seal conditioners that keep rubber seals flexible and reduce oil burn-off.

This low-SAPS oil protects diesel particulate filters (DPF) and catalytic converters, flowing easily at cold starts down to -30°C for quick protection, while staying strong up to 150°C in hot conditions. Approved for ACEA C3, API SN/CF, BMW Longlife-04, MB 229.51/229.31, VW 502.00/505.00, and GM dexos2, it suits Euro 4/5 diesels with EGR/DPF and modern BMW, Mercedes, VW gasoline/diesel engines.

• 50% better wear protection than industry standards for longer engine life
• 20% stronger defense against sludge and harmful buildup
• Supports long drain intervals up to 30,000 km
• Improves fuel economy and cuts oil consumption in older engines

When to Use / Replace?

Use in vehicles with 75,000+ km for maximum benefits, but safe for newer engines too. Replace every 10,000-30,000 km or 12 months, based on your driving—shorter for city stop-go or dusty roads. Shelf life is 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.

Ideal for high-mileage BMW, Mercedes, VW, GM cars with emission systems.
