Maxlife Question

The oil change before today's I used MAxlife. I only had it in there for about 1k miles. I went with Mobile drive clean this time. Do you think I'll have problems? I heard that Maxlife causes seals to swell. Now that I have gone back to a normal oil, I just hope it don't start leakin!

I posted this in the oil section, but doesn't seem like poeple ever reply there. Lil help?

Maxlife Question

I run Valvoline MaxLife with a can of Restore on each oil change and a Purolater filter...around every 4K mi. My rear main leak has slowed a considerable amount now, and when I pulled my lower intake for new gaskets the valley was VERY clean. No build up at all.

Going back to regular you may see increased leaks, the only way to tell is to just get out there and drive.
