if you want a simple recommendation on an excellent oil...
go with either Mobil 1 or Pennzoil Platinum and either a Delco Filter or a Purolator PureONE filter. I recommend the PureONE.
But if you just want dinojuice, just get generic advance auto parts oil (its just rebottled good stuff anyways) with the same recommendation on filters.

According to the oil filter comparison, some of the best ones are K&N, Wix, Mobil 1, Purolator PureONE, Delco, and Napa Silver and Gold filters. There are a few others, but the ones I listed are the best choices. DON'T even look at a Fram, they are garbage.

Go with the Valvoline and a AC Delco filter and you will be fine. I don't even use the Max Life, I just get the regular. (I changed my oil this past weekend)

I know i know my main question was going to be weather valvoline max life was worth it, but instead of being specific i just made it a general topic.
i guess i should've searched first... sorry boss

3800'* aren't known to beat up valve stem seals....
I'd say unless you are leaking oil, Or burning it in a bad way... Just get what ever Dino or synthetic floats your boat..
Mobil
Havoline
Valvoline
Castrol
Any of them with a decent filter ( Not Fram ) will work just fine
