Kendall In Your Hometown?

[GoldenRod]

Just curious if you BITOG'ers have ever seen Kendall on the shelf where you buy your oil?

Around here, it is available in vary small quantities at AutoZone & O'Reilly.

I picked up some Kendall GT-1 semi-synthetic at Big Lots for $1.59, I grabbed about 30. I've been using it in my wife's 2000 Grand Am (2.4L) for a couple of months with a Purolator Pure One filter. So far so good. I believe it's made by Conoco.

Not where I live. But WalMart caries another ConocoPhillips stablemate - TropArtic. Same oil, different label. Pig Lots occaisionally carries 76 - another ConocoPhillips brand. All of these are Group III/Group II blends.

There's a smallish home/hardware store in my area that usually has the best price on kendall GT-1. They only get pallets of 5w30 and 10w30

, Currently they have it for $1.39/qt. www.valuhomecenter.com

Yep, Big Lots had the PC made Kendall for some time, and it is sitting on the shelf at AZ in 10-30, and Nitro 60 flavors. The Nitro 60 is apparently a big seller for the Harley V Twin crowd. I can only guess that's because it makes a smaller puddle under the bike when parked.

The only place I've seen it in Canada so far is at Stinson gas stations, and its pretty reasonable priced - about $3.50 CAD a quart, which is a lot less than the $4-5 charged for most blends....

$1.59 at Big Lots in Cambridge, OH.

Kendall is here in Lower Michigan. What's missing here lately is Chevron. The mega-stores around here has quit stocking it.

 

[pastmaster]

Yup, it was even on sale at Murray's last month, here in Michigan.

There is even a Kendall Quick Oil Change shop, in Shields, MI, outide of Saginaw.

I used to see it at AZ, and I've seen it at Big Lots also.

 

[twentynine]

No Kendal at Wally World, seen a couple qts at AZ. I am using Trop Artic right now, purchased from WM @ $1.48 qt.

 

[sgtgeek]

No Kendal around here...and this in Kendall County, Texas

I can get the semi syn out of a 50 gallon barrel in my schools autoshop

I used to live less than 2 miles from Kendall's HQ (in Houston). Haven't seen any Kendall GT1 full synthetic 5w-40 here in Houston. I would like to see VOA of this oil, its specs look good to me for my BMW.

GT-1™ Full Synthetic Motor Oil
I emailed Kendall and asked where I could buy it, they sent me a couple of distributors in the Houston area. I saw sign that Firestone was offering Kendall synthetic oil changes a while back.

Anyone seen any of the GT1 full synthetic 5w-40?
I remember the GT1 being Green in color back in the early 70's.
