Well, if you haven't noticed, there is a big marketing campaign going on for a new line of motor oil from Valvoline. Most of the info out there seems to be from either Valvoline's marketing/PR people or from retailers. Not much from independent 3rd party reviewers.
If I can read through the advertising lingo, it seems to be synthetic oil with a new detergent package. I have generally a positive view of Valvoline (they usually retail a bit cheaper than equivalent oils from Mobil1 or Pennzoil), and I am not trying to prompt any negativity. Just want to know if anyone has any chemical engineering details on it (or first hand experience, though it is new enough that I doubt anyone has more than just initial impressions).
FWIW, I would consider it in lieu of an engine flush on my junker '95 Miata project car.
I don't think it's new.
There's a thread about it on the bobistheoilguy forum from 2020: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/another-oil-from-valvoline.373185/

Before that , the "next generation" of Valvoline oil was the "Premium Blue Restore Gen 2"
in 2003 , it was Valvoline "MaxLife Engine Protector"
Before that, it was hype like : "Extended Protection High Mileage With Ultra MaxLife Technology"
So they got "max" and "ultra" in there. The only buzzwords that are missing are "nano" with a smidge of "turbo" thrown in. Soon to come: "quantum"
As you say they're just marketing campaigns.
Intended to excite all the oil nuts out there.
Never ending 🙄
