Also does anyone have any thoughts on valvoline durablend synthetic blend oil??? i am currently useing valvoline all climate in my vehciles and it seems to be pretty good just wondering about the synthetic and synthetic blends.

I think Valvoline oils are pretty good. I really don't care for All Climate though, as flashpoints listed on the Valvoline tech sheets look poor for All Climate. I am using the Maxlife, which has 12-22% synthetic per the MSDS data. New full synthetic Maxlife is hitting the shelves in stores across the nation as I write. I was told it would be in my area Feb/Mar.

I was just in NAPA today and they now have a house brand full synthetic for under $3 a quart and the high mileage for under $2 a quart, can't remember the price exactly. That sounds like a good deal. Valvoline is their house brand supplier.

I use Valvoline syn in my 94 F250 460 that I tow an 8,000# trailer with. I have used the oil since 36K and now have something like 86K. I would estimate about 20K+ is towing in all kinds of temps with nasty hills.
So far so good and no complaints. I have used Mobile 1 since 1980 with no complaints. I used M1 because Valvoline didn't have syn back then. I was very happy when Valvoline came out with syn since I liked Valvoline dino in the 70s. Good Luck, Jim Henderson |
Is the napa house brand the exact same thing as valvolline, or is it just made by valvoline. Is the synthetic an ester based syn or just hydrocarbon?

NAPA oil = Valvoline, not sure about your other question.

Valvoline synthetic is Group III, based on a read of the MSDS a while back. Jim |
