Re: 10W-40 Valvoline Maxlife really that bad?
 

I use it in my 89 Sentra. It has 165k on it, with no engine problems at
all. It only burns 1/2 qt every 3k miles.

Re: 10W-40 Valvoline Maxlife really that bad?
 

So, using this fill of 10W-40 until the
next oil change 3,000 miles away should be no
big disaster, I guess.

Perhaps, the 10W-30, recommended in the manual is
still most likely the most appropriate, even in
a tropical climate.
