Engine Oil Val Maxlife or QS High Mileage Options

[exxtractor]

After 110,000 Mi, and recently having repainted the car, I decided to switch to Valvoline Maxlife. Anyone else using this? I will tell you I used to pay $6 CAN for 4L of Toyotal 10W30, now its $15 for Maxlife.

Personally I use Mobile 1 fully synthetic, and a mobile 1 filter that is specifically designed for synthetic applications. I pay about 37 dollars US for all of the stuff to put in on my own. Its expensive but boy is it worth it. When I used conventional oil the engine would be laggy at the top end and would be shaky at idle. I started using fully synthetic oil and everything started running smoother. At the top end the engine runs so smoothly now its unbelievable. The maxlife has protectants added for longer running engines. But I say if I can get better protection AND a smoother running engine why not fork out the extra money? I'm sure maxlife has is a good oil but I don't like conventional oils any more.
