MC vs. 76

[mrfish]

I have been using MC 5-30 from Wal-Mart for a couple of years. At 2.77 a qt. it's a great deal. A new grocery chain opened up near me and they have Union 76 synthetic blend for 2.70 a qt. My question. How close are these two oils? Is 76 going to be any less in quality than its other Cononco counterparts?

Conoco Phillips makes both Motorcraft and 76 oils. They also make Kendall. All of these are synthetic blends and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they were all exactly the same oils.

Go to the Conoco-Phillips web site. They make about 5 or 6 oils & Motorcraft. They are near identical. Use with confidence...

I couldn't tell the difference between those oils by the PDS of each

I wonder if you could find MC for less? Maybe it's a Cal thing? Down here, it's been and is still $2.30/qt. I have 11 5qt jugs on the shelf.

$11.50 for the 5 qt? That's the price of MC at my Walmart

but what is really the point of a synthetic blend oil? I dont understand the reasoning?

It's the best of both worlds...priced like a conventional with the benefits of a synthetic...longer OCI. 7.5k is perfectly acceptable and recommended by Ford / Honda.

i love the mc stuff.

Well Kendall allway`s was a good oil,so I guess it still is.

MC doesn't come in the 5-30 jug. I have only seen 5-20 at walmart. I have no choice but to buy it by qt. It seems like the 76, Kendall, and MC are all the same. MC 2.77 qt in CA. Everything is more here.
