I'm coming into this conversation 2+ years late, but for posterity's sake I must say, sad as it was for the problems your Dad's Durango developed, I do not for one second believe it was Conklin's oil that actually "caused" the scenario you described with your dad's vehicle. I've been around Conklin lubes/products for close to 30 years, and have NEVER seen or heard of anything similar being caused by any of their materials. In fact, the far opposite is the more usual case. Simply, I'd guess the vehicle would have gone "bang" when it did, regardless of oil brand/type being installed. Still, I can understand the frustration and grief caused by such a bad loss.
