Nervous about engine oil-opinions?

IIRC the original Kendall green oil was different because it was produced mostly, or almost entirely, from Pennsylvania crudes, which gave these oils a much higher natural VI and therefore did not require as many additives as others. We used their 20w-50 GT-1 MC oil exclusively in my MC dealership with outstanding results (for example, a 40K mile teardown of a Honda 4cyl 750 showed all parts we could measure as within original assembly - not wear - tolerances.. Have never forgotten that one). I'll have to look into the Brad Penn product.

The term “100% Pure Pennsylvania Grade Crude Oil” has long carried with it an industry connotation for being one of the best sources of high quality lubricant base stocks in the world. Our BRAD PENN® refinery, the oldest continuously operating lube oil refinery in the United States, still refines 100% Pennsylvania grade crude oil. PA grade crude oil is a very thermally stable paraffinic crude oil which contains no asphaltic constituents. This makes it an ideal choice from which to refine premium quality base oils. Because we use only one crude stock, our refined products are of consistently high quality and performance.
