"That" Kendall isn't even close to what "this" Kendall is. The Kendall name is now under the Conoco/Phillips umbrella. Great stuff.
probably true, and im glad you found it, hope you keep it

Not anymore at 2.77 here on LI. It is over 3 dollars now, in qt bottles. Near summer makes me think of the price increase. Wait till Feb, back down again.
I was just at walmart in valley stream and seen motorcraft 5qt jug for $11. I picked up PP 5w30 for my 04 Jaguar XJ at $20 for 5qt jugs. Seems like steals to mee. Individual quarts were $6 for PP and didnt check for MC.
I only noticed because I need 7 qts for the jag so, $32 for 7 quarts or $40 for 10 qts ? which did you think I picked hehe

Sounds good for marketing, but all we care about is reduction of ferrous material.
Hardest? Hardly!
I believe it is Titanium Dioxide, which is one of the most useful elements their is.

Yes because chemistry and tribology is that easy.

I thought the Edge marketing was ridiculous but liquid titanium really?
I really don't care about this oil one way or another, since I haven't used it. In fact I haven't even bought Cono-Phil stuff in years. But seriously? Is it that hard for you to google before you post? So that you, you know, at least contribute something?
Titanium has been experimented on as _the_ ZDDP replacement for a while now. Ti oxides and diborides, plus Ti(4+) in organic carriers. The idea is to (1) burnish the moving surfaces and (2) under high temperature Ti bonds to the steel surfaces and coats the moving parts with a layer of FeTiO3, which is hard as glass, and is what gives fantastically low wear. This is a property that's not seen in other wear additives.
I'm not saying that this oil necessarily uses Ti in that fashion, or necessarily gives better wear protection, I'm just saying - seriously, googling before you post "I haven't heard of it, so it must be impossible" takes 2 extra seconds.
