Kendall Motor Oil

I was almost set on using Royal Purple in my rebuilt motor but now after reading up on Kendall I'm starting to think differently. Does anybody here have experience with Kendall GT-1 full synthetic in the RX-7? Any info would be most appreciated.

Yeah I have a buddy on the board who swears by that product and has always used it for his FD. It's like $10/quart, but he says it's the best of the best. I'm gonna go and get some this weekend if time allows.......

Go to www.kendallmotoroil.com

and find a distributor. I found a distributor locally that sell a case for $30. That's only $5 a quart, about the same price as the rest of the synthetics.

SILVERR1,
I happen to know Jason from JT-Imports was running a good JP brand and did the same thing you are doing and changed to it. BOOOM!!! Went the engine 2 weeks later..

The oil maybe good, but maybe not in a ROTARY

Kendel is a recycled oil as far as I know and has higher levels of detergent!
