Detergent oils are the norm. Non-detergent oils are very rare for our driveway use & you hardly see them on any store shelves. The ones I've seen are clearly written "Non-Detergent".
Who wants a non-detergent oil in today's passenger vehicles???? I don't know of anyone personally!

Check the container of the "76" brand oil you're investigating. Since January, 2005, the entry-level 76 motor oils available in North America are Group III/Group II synthetic blends if they're listed as GF-4 and SM. These are available in 5W-20, 5w30, and 10w30 viscosity grades. The 76 website referenced above lists quite a number of outdated PDSs. Since you list your location as Sweden, tonttu, it's a crapshoot what's available over there.
Very likely.
76 high performance motor oil is available 10w30,10w40 and 20w50.76 webpages has no information about it,been in dino,blend or fullysynthetic.they have 76 high performance fully synthetic oil,but then they have also just 76 high performance motor oil.i just wonder that is 10w30 dino,blend or fullysynthetic?
they also have 76 super synthetic blend. but i wonder why they dont write to the webpages,that what 76 highperformance motor oils are?

Unless Europe has rules on what syn blends must be to be labeled blend I would expect 76 to call it a blend if it was.
I'd guess the oil was from eurobase stocks and dino. Conoco added all its updated products eg the new blend 3-2005 and left the high performance product alone.
Looked to me like most euro oil is still sl.
What can you buy from a Ford dealer in Sweden?

About 4 years ago I picked up some '76 High Performance' 10w30 SJ rated which was on clearance at AA. This was the oil that they advertised in Car and Driver, Motortrend etc.. as being "used by more Nascar teams...." I think Tosco was still making 76 oils at the time but I'm not sure. My GM and my dads Maxima seemed to like it.
Just going to add that I was at Big Lots tonight, and they had Union 76 Blend 10w30 SM on the shelf for $1.67/qt. I was wondering, since both Union 76 and MC are both made by Conoco Phillips, if the Union 76 Blend was on par with the famed MC Blend?
Conoco-Phillips makes: Phillips 66 TropArtic, Conoco, Kendall, 76, and Motorcraft oils. For all I know, maybe others. So long as the weight & type match, I'd bet on any of them being *very* similar to identical. Example: I can get Kendall GT-1 Synthetic Blend 5w30 SM at Big Lots for $1.59/qt(if they still have it), or I could buy TropArtic 5w30 SM Syn Blend at Wally-World for $1.48/qt. I bet the're either identical, or so close they'll produce identical results. Looks to me like simple economy of scale would dictate that for a given weight, type, & service rating it's cheaper & easier to just make the same oil for all brands. And if you look up the product data sheets at the websites, thsy look the same for every type/weight/rating class. No, I can't prove it, but it sure seems like a mighty safe bet.
