Yes Durablend is group 3 and group 1, i have emailed a few companies, they all do it the main ones, Shell, Mobil, Castrol, Valvoline, Penrite in their mineral and Semi synths.

Section 3 - COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
NAME CAS RN %
paraffinic distillate, heavy, solvent- dewaxed (severe) 64742-65-0. >60%
paraffinic distillate, heavy, hydrotreated (severe) 64742-54-7. >10%
zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate 68649-42-3 nonhazardous ingredients balance

Thats from MSDS for Durablend 10W40. See only 10% Synthetic Hydro, rest is GRoup 1.

Mobil 1 is Synthetic......all of them, in variations that no one even on here knows from Group 3,4,5......

I must admit 15W50 Durablend is one of the best oils i ran in my car, drive wise.

I am also pretty happy with durablend 10w30 in my engine. seems to like it, and i can get it at Big W when I buy some nappies whicih makes it easy !

the stuff you read on here about Group 1 makes you wonder though...
