What oil can I find at Walmart that matches/comes close the Ti of Kendall?

Not really. Might be similar, even made by the same company, but not the same stuff.

GT-1 is a full syn, Motorcraft is semi-syn. Also, their Titanium count is very different, for starters.

... both great oil though.

(EDIT) - There is (effectively) 0 Titanium in Motorcraft oil:

Titanium is an anti-wear ingredient. It replaces ZDDP which due to its high phosphorous content, can poison a catalytic converter. By replacing some of the ZDDP it offers very high anti-wear but the phosphorous is still under 800 ppm

Both Motorcraft and GT-1 are available in both full syn and semi-syn

Titanium has become popular with the new SN+ formulations. Valvoline Advanced Synthetic has a moly-titanium-boron package.

Slacktide_Bitog: Does full synthetic MC oil have similar add pack like Kendall syn? Does it have titanium?

Any of them will be a good replacement, Ti or not. It’s too bad Kendall near non-existent these days.

This is funny to me because not too long ago both sodium and titanium were poo-pooed here as being less of an additive pack versus calcium/moly.

Agreed; both are great oils made by Conoco/Phillips but not the same.

Why not try Pennzoil Yellow Bottle, Mobil Super, Quaker State Advanced Durability, or Super Tech? Any of those oils should match the performance of Kendall (less the titanium).
 
Never like the way any of the Ti oils ran and MAN did they protest when you went back to "normal" add pack.. almost like the engine was going to eat itself for a month!

Seriously.


But if you've want to stick with the Ti compound oils, Castrol Edge gold bottle will do it.

LOL yes if you get it on sale for under $20 like I did last fall and I'm running this OCI.

Yes happened TWICE once with Kendall and last with Edge. The edge withdrawal was much worse though.
