Any Kendall or TropArtic/ ConocoPhillips users?

Hi folks and I see some people really like Conoco/Phillips products; but how many of you folks use or have used it. I kind of like the additive package in it, thinking of using the semi synthetic possibly in my Focus

I used some 76 Syn Blend in the spring of last year. I liked it just fine, but availability is what keeps me from using more of it. If you have an Orscelin's Farm Store near you, they run it on sale for $1.99 a quart several times a year. Good deal.

I'm running Union 76 in my mower. I'm seriously tempted to try it in my car.

Good looking light colored oil. Looks very similar to Chevron.

See my sig. In the Forester.

Thanks for the replies guys;-)

I see 2010_Fx4 ran it in his Explorer

I just did a Kendall GT1 Semi-syn...starts up with no initial timing chain rattle (common with Camrys)...engine sounds fine under load...will alternate with Pennzoil PPP for the next 5 OCs...

Good oil! I've used it in both Mustangs!

i used to run trop-art syn blend 5w30 in a trailblazer and a dodge ram in minnesota. it looked horrible by the end of winter, but both vehicles held up well

Big fan of Trop Artic. I'd still use it even if it wasn't so darn cheap because it is so darn good. Having used a bunch of it I really believe it rivals top contenders from the big names. I have Trop Artic in two cars now and have used it in 4, awesome stuff.

If Kendall wasn't unobtanium here I'd definitely try it. I sure wish there was a 10w40 Trop Artic.

if you want to know the relationship, it goes like this:

- Motorcraft base oil and additives
- Trop artic = same additives as motorcraft but better base stock
- Kendall = same base stock as Trop Artic but better additive package

In short, Trop Artic shares properties with motorcraft and kendall but motorcraft and kendall have nothing in common other than manufacturing company.

 

[thunderfog]

Yup. I'm sold on it.

 

[53' Stude]

Thanks for that info ;-)

Great oil and excellent value.
I have used it in my vehicles throughout the years.
Only problem that I have with it is availability.

Big fan here. Have used GT1 Euro 5w40 in the 2.0T and GT1 blend in the 2.4. Both ran nice and smooth (as has everything else for the most part). No consumption.

Where does Union 76 fit into all those?

Used it on and off for over 40 years now. Never an oil related failure.

I use mobil one in car now because I have to pull out on busy highway in winter with cold engine. It just feels better. no other reason

Truck and mower get TA

I've used it on and off in the Camry, does what it's supposed to!

 

[oilstudent24]

Used it with no problems. Switched to a HM oil for an older vehicle but hard to beat it at $2.29/ Quart for case at Sams.

I wish Trop Artic would expand their product line, like hi-mi, full syn.
