Looking at this as new lube reference I'm even happier with the UOA result.

Looks good, as it should being the flagship brand of Phillips Petroleum.

Strong showing on paper, with UOA's to back it up. Wish it wasn't scarce as hen's teeth around here.

The calcium reading seems to be a bit higher in the synblend than the full syn. Either lab error, the synblend has more, or the changed the formula. Interesting.

Are you anywhere near a ConocoPhillips distributor? I buy Kendall GT-1 5W20 syn blend at $44.40/case FOB.

Got this oil in the 2008 Escape as we speak. Have the 5W30 viscosity version in the Forester as we speak, coming up on 3000 miles on the Forester's fill. PQIA's VOA of this oil also showed decent level of Calcium @ 2300 http://www.pqiamerica.com/Kendall.htm

Fantastic! If I didn't have tons of oil hoarded, and I wasn't a deal scorer, I'd be using this for sure.

 

[SteveSRT8]

Yes, this oil is a "sleeper". I can't even find it at retail around here.

 

[AITG]

Try Kampoil.com They're a distributor and have an excellent inventory.

O'Reilly Auto Parts carries it.

Not in my neck of the woods. Autozone has it here, but it's certainly not jumping off the shelves at over $4 a quart, plus they have have sales on it.

It's at Rural King, a local farm store in this region for $2.79 per quart. If my car didn't require an ACEA A3 rated oil, this would be my pick.

in my area orielly's and autozone have it. its $4.99 a quart, which is very reasonable for a high quality full synthetic. if i wasn't an Amsoil dealer id be using this in my Ram.

It's rare to find the full syn in a store, those two places only carry the synblend afaik.

here in indiana we have both the blend with titanium as well as the full synthetic with titanium. im positive we do at orielly's as i was browsing their oil section the other day. the blend is $3.99 a quart and the full synthetic is $4.99 per quart. a decent deal really.

My pick for 2013 2.5 Nissan Altima, which came FF with 0W-20 syn blend.

 

[Keith_Stone]

Just sent off a sample of the full synthetic version 5w-30 for a voa. I'll post the results.

 

[Roob]

5w20 or 5w30?
Subject says 5w20 and your post says 5w30.
I'm curious to see the results though either way.

 

[Keith_Stone]

5w30

Heres my VOA from about 2 years ago.

 

[Keith_Stone]

Saw that, thanks. Thought I'd blow a few $ on a voa, since I've got 24qts. B_S will have my sample Tues. I'll probably do a uoa to follow up.
