Valvoline DuraBlend 5W-30

I changed my oil yesterday and used Valvoline DuraBlend (Synthetic Blend) 5W-30, and my engine temps actually went down.

My temp. needle used to be on the first little bar of water before i changed it, now it sits right below the first little bar of water. Runs smooth, shifts nice!!!

If anyone was wondering about doing it, I recommend it!! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

Sounds good, except your engine oil doesn't affect your shifting [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Either way, congrats on the change.

Re: Valvoline DuraBlend 5W-30

Valvoline blend has no Moly no Boron, hardly any add. pack see what happens re. clean too. I think you can do better, like Motorcraft blend at Walmart, good value more to the $$
