Finally, an accurate statement,....
What made the original Kendall GT-1 such a "magic" product was the unique base stocks pumped close to their refinery in NW Pennsylvania. Brad-Penn uses the same thing and its superior as a lubricant, compared to other like products. People who are far smarter than me attest to the qualities of Pennsylvania crude as used for oils.
As a consumer of the original Kendall products since 1965, I can personally attest to what they did that others didn't. Unfortunately, I have no idea what Conoco-Phillips uses in their current version of GT-1 race oil and they are not likely to tell me.
Given how expensive our engines are, I'll not use any other non-synthetic oil in a customer's or my own car unless I have no other choice.
Naturally JMHO,
