Has anyone heard of Union 76 oil?

Is it any good?

You mean motor oil, not the gasoline stations, right?

Yeah, motor oil.

There's a good shop in LA which uses it.

Why reinvent the wheel? There've been so many electrons used on the whole oil discussion, and there are several candidates that seem to hit the mark. Why not just go with one of them and call is a day?

If it is an API SG or SL oil of the propper weight it is probally ok. If it is an API SM oil, I would stay away.

Visit The Ultimate Oil Thread for lots of info.

Thanks for the link.

I use Brad Penn in my '86. But I was just curious about this oil as
I had never heard of it before.
