Using the right motor oil to protect your engine is crucial. Ray Evernham went behind the scenes at the Valvoline Engine Lab to uncover the difference in an engine that has only used Valvoline High Mileage versus an engine that was improperly maintained. In Ray’s words, the results are graphic.

As engines age past 75,000 miles, parts begin to wear down causing reduced gas mileage, lower horsepower, and a shorter engine life. That’s why we created Valvoline High Mileage with Maxlife Technology, formulated specically to combat issues like friction, deposits and sludge in aging engines.

There was a time when 75,000 miles meant that a car was about three-quarters of the way to the junkyard, but 200,000 is the new 100,000 miles for cars.
