          Semi-Synthetic Motor Oil

          1. Is it ok to use DuraBlend synthetic blend motor oil in a motorcycle or ATV?

            No. DuraBlend is not wet-clutch safe and can cause slipping problems if used.

          2. What is the recommended oil change interval for DuraBlend synthetic blend motor oil?

            Valvoline's synthetic blend oil directions recommend following the oil change intervals recommended in your owner's manual no matter what type of oil you use. Most manufacturers recommend every 3-months/3,000 miles.

          3. If I switch to DuraBlend synthetic blend motor oil in my vehicle, can I ever go back to using a conventional motor oil?

            Yes. Conventional and synthetic blend motor oils are 100% compatible.

          4. Is Valvoline discontinuing DuraBlend synthetic blend motor oil?

            No. DuraBlend is not being discontinued.

          Long driving = hard driving
          Not always. Hard driving pertains to high and/or constant changing of rpms, pulling or towing. It can also be dependant upon the geographic area in which you drive.
