Valvoline maxlife motor oil
Ok it's time for an oil chane again, I have been using conventional oil on all my oil changes. I've been told that I should switch to synthetic oil because it's better for maximas, is that true?
I have a 2001 AE, my engine has 185k miles, the car runs great with no problems. The car also leaks no oil, just leaks power steering fluid. So my question is should I use maxlife oil on my car? Can the maxlife cause any leaks? Also I know that maxlife has additives to swell seals, does that mean after using high mileage oil do I have to stay committed to that oil? Or could I switch from high mileage oil to synthetic or back to conventional ? Lastly will that oil harm the engine in any way? Sorry for such a long question. Thanks
