          Semi-Synthetic Motor Oil

          1. Is it ok to use DuraBlend in a motorcycle or ATV?

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

          2. What is the percentage of synthetic versus conventional motor oil in DuraBlend?

            30% synthetic vs. 70% conventional.

          3. What is the recommended oil change interval for DuraBlend?

            Valvoline recommends 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.

          4. If I switch to DuraBlend can I ever go back to using a conventional motor oil?

            Yes. Conventional and synthetic oils are 100% compatible.

          5. Are you discontinuing DuraBlend?

            No. DuraBlend is not being discontinued.

          It's bad for my engine to switch between motor oil brands.
          Not all motor oils are the same, but simply switching brands will not have any harmful effect on your engine.
