Default Valveoline Max Life/High Milage Oil

I read all of the discussion about oil preferences. I did not see an opinion about the above oil. It was recommended to me by a good Porsche wrench in the Dallas area. He suggested the 20/50. I was using the Valveoline 20/50 simi synthetic. Max Life seemed to reduce the leaks somewhat. I guess the seal expander chemicals work fairly well. This is a fairly new oil to the marketplace. Any known problems?

Look at the label: if its API-SM rated, stay away.

+1. You may want to take a look at a few of the threads during '07 on oil. Particularly as it relates to carrera's, SC's and earlier 911's.
