Maxlife oils - any good.

Time to change the oil in my 86 coupe again. Since it has 124,000 miles, thought about the maxlife oils out there. Any knowledge of these? Don't really want to sludge it up. Have been using PureOne filter. Thanks for your ideas and contemplations. Gone just a few days and the neighborhood has changed!

I have not seen any empirical data that tells me these oils are all that special.

Stick with Mobil 1 and you will be fine.

At 124000 miles, why make a change, stay with what got you here.

I've been using it on my '84 for about 1/2 year now. Even got rid of minor oil leaks.
I'm happy. My vette has 88k miles on it.
Good Luck
