Has anyone used Kendall GT-1 synthetic?? My speed shop has it and the guy who owns the place swears by it. He recommended 5w/40 but also had the 10w/30 on the shelf.
This is the same guy who did the machine work and assembly of my '68 350hp/327ci coupe and it ran SWEET!! All I ever used in that car was Kendall GT-1 15w/40 and never had any issues. I never had any oil analysis done but it ran like a raped ape!!
I have read about Redline, Mobil1, and Amsoil, on this forum but never Kendall. Any input is appreciated!!
Who knows...maybe I will be the expert on Kendall :lolg: :lolg: :lolg:

 

First thing its got to meet the GM spec for warranty coverage.

 

It meets or exceeds API Service SL, SJ, & CF. It also says it meets or exceeds ACEA A3, B3, and B4 :confused:

 

On the back of a mobil 1 bottle (5w-30) they list a GM spec that they meet.

Its GM4718M.

 

And some swear by ricer rides. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Skip all the crap & head right to the top ...Amsoil! Be done with it. :yesnod:

I am sorry to say this but I would not put Kendall nor Havoline in my lawn mower, much less my Vette. :lolg:

 

:iagree: Look at the Kendall specs specially the TBN, flash point, poor point and viscosity index. http://www.kendallmotoroil.com/techd...K_GT-1_SYN.PDF
