cool, thanks for the info

 

*brush the dust off the thread* so I just got my oil changed at Nissan and they used Kendall 5w30.

 

I use kendall synthetic, just as good as royal purple or redline @ half the price. Another piece of trivia, kendall used to own what is now known as brad penn oil.....some of the best dino juice out there. Ask any serious engine builder or some of those old timers about it. Just be sure and mention the green oil.

 

^ Technically you wont know how good Kendall is unless you do a UOA, I would be interested in seeing a UAO for the VQ.

 

for the times I did use it. (2x's) car felt normal as usual, but with heat my car felt under performance, not power, just did not feel like the G normally drove. I ended up going back to Castrol syn. Black bottle gallon

Castrol Edge also didn't have the performance feel as well.

 

I'm a big advocate of Castrol Syntec also - mainly from a chemistry standpoint. The only times in my life that I've "felt" any different performance due to motor oil have probably been when I've known my mileage on an oil change was getting close, so maybe I don't drive quite as hard...

I definitely remember back in the 80's and 90's that Kendall GT-1 was the "must-have" oil. I think they sponsored a TF Funny car or dragster.

While at Firestone getting my oil changed, way back then, clerk was telling me how it was a big thing for car lovers to use Kendall oil. Then it phased out.
