Hey, thanks for the reply.
I'm wondering if Maxlife is my best option at this point. I agree that my mileage is too high to switch to full synthetic oil, especially since I have only had the car since 50k and there's no telling how the previous owners treated her. Did you notice any improvements after switching to Maxlife? There are a bunch of mushy testimonials at the Valvoline site but I have yet to talk to someone who actually uses it.
