My question-
"Good afternoon,
I have seriously been considering using your Durablend product however I have a question concerning the percentage of synthetic used in it. How much synthetic is in Durablend? Is the synthetic used Group III, IV, or V? Any insight would be greatly appreciated."
Valvoline's response-
"Thank you for your question. The Valvoline DuraBlend Synthetic Blended Engine Oils contain 30% synthetic base oil in the blending of the product. Valvoline actually uses a unique mixture of Group III, IV and V base oil stocks for synthetic base oils. Hopefully this information is helpful."
I'm strongly thinking about giving this oil a go. Always on sale, and a good compromise between synthetic and conventional. I can't reason with myself why I should continue using synthetic in a car that burns a quart every 1,000 miles or so and topping off with conventional. By the end of a 6,000 mile OCI it'll be mostly conventional and still fresh to a certain extent. The Durablend gives me similar cold flow properties of the synthetic for a fraction of the cost. The SN version is actually thinner at 40C, 5w30 flavor. I think I have found my oil.
