    Valvoline – 5W-20 High Mileage Synthetic Blend Motor Oil, 5 Quart (Part No.881162)

    5W-20 High Mileage Synthetic Blend Motor Oil, 5 Quart

    from

    $29.99
    75,000 miles is more than a mile marker. It’s a signal that your engine is ready for greater protection. That’s when you need Valvoline High Mileage with MaxLife Technology Motor Oil. Its exclusive formula is proven to maximize engine life in cars, trucks, and SUVs with over 75,000 miles. Our mixture is specially developed with a unique combination of synthetic and premium conventional oils to protect your high-mileage motor against wear, friction, heat, and deposits – the four major causes of engine breakdown and expensive repairs. Anti-wear additives defend critical engine components, advanced friction-fighting agents reduce heat and abrasion, added detergents clean the inside of your engine, and premium seal conditioners handle aging seals to prevent leaks. It fights sludge, corrosion and rust that can rob your engine of horsepower, fuel efficiency and longevity. From extreme temperatures and cold starts to stop-and-go traffic and frequent short trips, viscosity modifiers make sure the oil flows more easily, coats more completely, and resists thermal breakdown under even the most intense driving conditions. Its unique mixture curbs contaminants to keep high-mileage engines from burning and consuming oil that can foul spark plugs, creating higher emissions and causing your motor to run roughly.

    Product Features:
    • Seal conditioners rejuvenate aging engine seals to help stop and prevent oil leaks
    • Extra wear protection helps prevent future engine wear
    • Extra detergents help keep older engines cleaner by bonding with and removing sludge and deposits
    • Anti-oxidants help prevent oil breakdown preventing engine-clogging sludge and deposit formation
    • Advanced Synthetic Blend Formulation: Valvoline High Mileage with MaxLife Technology features an advanced synthetic blend that provides superior protection for engines with over 75,000 miles.
    • API SN with SN PLUS Specification: Meets the API SN with SN PLUS specification, offering protection for gasoline direct-injected engines from low-speed pre-ignition, making it suitable for both high mileage and newer cars.
