  • Resists thermal breakdown up to 220 °F flash point
  • Cleans deposits using detergent additive package

Valvoline 5W-20 High Mileage Synthetic Blend

Valvoline 881162 is a synthetic blend motor oil formulated for gasoline engines in cars and light trucks with higher mileage. The 5-quart bottle supplies enough fluid for a complete fill on most common sumps. It meets API standards and carries the MaxLife series designation for high-mileage applications.

Viscosity 5W-20 with 151 index handles cold starts

The oil flows at minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit and protects up to 220 degrees Fahrenheit, with a pour point of minus 45 degrees Celsius. A viscosity index of 151 indicates stable thickness across that range. Kinematic viscosity measures 63 at 40 degrees Celsius and 10.7 at 100 degrees Celsius, so protection holds during extended high-temperature operation.

Detergent additive package reduces deposits

Built-in detergents help prevent sludge and varnish formation inside older engines. The MaxLife formulation includes seal conditioners that can reduce oil consumption and minor leaks common in high-mileage units. Amber colour allows quick visual checks of fluid condition during routine dipstick inspections.

Questions about this item

Will the 5W-20 viscosity work in an older gasoline engine that previously used a straight 30-weight oil?

The multi-grade 5W-20 flows at -30 °F and reaches 10.7 cSt at 100 °C, so it protects cold starts better than a straight 30-weight while meeting the same hot viscosity target.

How can I verify the oil meets the API standard listed on the bottle after I pour it?

Look for the API donut on the label; the oil is formulated to the current API specification for gasoline engines and the MaxLife high-mileage series includes extra detergents to reduce sludge.

Does the 5-quart bottle include a pour spout or do I need a separate funnel?

The product ships as a plain 5-quart bottle; a funnel or flexible spout is not included and must be purchased separately if your filler neck is hard to reach.
