They carry ILSAC GF4 certification. Looks like a decent oil a bit overpriced.

Just a tad expensive for a synthetic blend oil.
My dad was a sales distributor, and we ran it in everything for years. It's a very good oil with high moly count. It started to get too costly with the price of high shipping. His cost was around $6/qt -- which is high for a "blend". If he picks it up in person, it's $5-something/qt. He ran it for well over 100k mi in his 2.7 Intrepid. No sludging whatsoever.
Since my previous post was deleted, I'll do it the hard way.

This is no where near our cost....I won't comment on composition.

I have been using and selling Conklin products for 30 years. My current 1997 Ford Ranger has 314,000 miles on it. FWIW I have had great success with them and like many companies there are a variety of ways to buy and the price differs with each.
Well, I will try anything once for the cause, or I should say 3 times. I purchased a case of their 5W-20 and will be doing three oil changes with it. After the first run I will do a UOA on the 2nd and 3rd. I might even do a VOA on this to see what it looks like. I will be using this in my wife's Honda Element. I installed the first round on Friday with an Amsoil EaO filter and will run it 6K. We will see.
It cost me $5.85 per quart by the case. The rep delivered it to me so there was no shipping charges. I did have to pay tax, so that would raise the price by 5.5%
Still a little steep for a blend, but lets see what's in it. It's for the cause.

cool. look forward to seeing what this oil looks like.
my dad used it back in the 1970s and sweared by it, gr8 stuff i don't know where to find it even if they still make it. good luck let me know if you find it.
It's not hard to find, you just have to find a dealer in your area.
