Kendall GT-1 Syn 10w0-30

[haley10]

Can't be any good with so little Moly and no Boron!

Again I think this will be much like GC and ATM, nothing much showing outstanding in a voa, but excellent performance.

Thank you for the VOA . I think it should do well for you .

Is this oil costing you about 4 bucks a quart and have you seen the 5w-40 Kendall GT-1 or the 76 brand 5w-40 where you buy it ?

Any consumption to speak of ?

Well, so far so good, at least as to how it runs. I am ready to start the phase for the UAO and I will post it in about 6 weeks.

I was getting the oil by the case at a lube wholeseller as it is not really available in retail where I live (Northern Ca.). It costs around $5 per bottle. I have yet to see the Union 76 oil around here.

The only other place I have seen the 5w-40 is at the Firestone dealer and not retail outlets either. I have found a local Napa Auto dealer who will order it by the case for me.

I have noticed that in a few 3K mile OCI it has consumed none to speak of and once it used about 1/4 of a quart. I have noticed no start up problems. Cold weather (well, for me, anyway...) seems good.

and Happy New Year to all.
