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,
OK, Steve, since you mentioned it (and hopefully not to continue another oil debate thread unnecessarily) what would your choice in synthetic oil be?
