Valvoline Durablend Grease

Post by Oregon72 » Mon Jun 15, 2009 9:11 pm

Colin recommended I purchase some Valvoline Durablend Grease and have it on hand for his visit. Is this the SynPower Synthetic Blend stuff? Anyone know where to get this? Napa (here in Sherwood) said that they don't carry that specific product and are not even able to order even thought they are a major retailer for Valvoline products - very odd? Checked at another FLAPS and they didn't carry it either.

It's not the Synpower, but get that is if it's what they have. Read the label though and make sure it is for what you're going to use it for. I assume wheel bearings.
Weird they don't have Durablend.

Autozone has it on the shelf in both cans and cartridges. It's the only place I've ever found it except online.
