All of ConocoPhillips oil brands are being consolidated into Phillips 66 and Kendall Brands. According to a little blurb in Motor Magazine, this is only applicable to the lubrication business, the fuel branding will remain intact. So, Conoco and 76 motor oils will be going the way of the typewriter.

I've never seen any of them at retail, so no loss for me. Heck, I've never even seen Phillips 66 or Kendall oils at retail near me.

Winco Foods (a grocery store chain) stocks Conoco-Phillips 76.

What will they do with TropArtic and Motorcraft ?

No - I was wondering if Conoco-Philllips will still be filling up the red bottle.
 
Makes sense to me, it was apparent that 76 and Trop Artic were ringers for each other anyway. Just pick one and market it better for goodness sake.
 
Sad....though I thought I heard that both 66 and 76 were gone, and it was only going to be Kendall and Motorcraft oils....

As far as I know, Ford plans to stick with MC....


But, I expect ConocoPhillps to be bought at some point soon....

Do you have some inside info or just a hunch

That would take somebody with a very big piggy bank!
 
ConocoPhillips says they are the fourth largest finished lubricant supplier in the US. Who are the other three?

The only one I see is Motorcraft at walmart.


Same here

A little of both I guess...but it would not be a company here in the states....
 
I'm surprised that 76 and 66 gas stations wouldn't have 76 and 66 branded oils. That in mind, I'm not sure if people care if they must use TropArctic when they need a quart or two of oil.
