The 5W-20 version is synthetic blend, too - at least when it occasionally appears on shelves. I'm not certain whether the 10W-40 TropArtic is even rated SM. For JTK, if Kendall synthetic blend is available, buy it - same thing as TropArtic except for labeling. (Truth be told, "TropArtic"
sounds like some dorky naming convention K-mart or Walgreen's might've come up with.

"Kendall" has a nice ring off the tongue that suggests something premium. I wonder how many people avoid using Castrol because of some deep seated childhood anxiety over how gramma dealt with every inconsquential little tummy ache...)
