Is this oil any good compare to the other like Mobil 1, Castrol Synthetic, Pennzoil Synthetic, etc.,

Kendall Full Synthetic motor oil:

It looks pretty comparable to the Mobil1 5w-30.

Kendall Mobil1
Density .850 .861
Flash Point (Deg C) 230 224
Pour Point (Deg C) -39 -45
Viscosity at 40C 57 56
Viscosity at 100C 10.1 10
High Temp/High
Shear Vis at 150C 3.1 3.08

I think it was recently reformulated, but I know Kendall GT-1 used to have a 390 Deg F flash point, which is the temperature at which an oil gives off vapors that
can be ignited with a flame held over the oil. The higher the flash point the better. 400 F is the minimum to prevent possible high consumption. Mobil1 has a 430 flash point temp in Deg F. But now Kendall reports a higher flash point temp that Mobil1, so maybe they dealt with that issue.

what is the best synthetic oil? can there really even be a differance?

 

Yes, there is a difference, Mobil1 and Amsoil are generally considered good full-synthetic oils. Visit http://www.bobistheoilguy.com or search, because the oil topic on H-T is getting kind of old.

There are too many variables to say that one particular oil is the best. When looking for an oil one should consider such factors as:

Driving style
Weather conditions
Oil Change Intervals
Miles on motor
Motor type
Cost
etc.

As stated above Bob's site is a great place to research oils in determining what's best for your car.

 

Mobil 1 for me.

 

can u mix syn oils? like 1quart redline 1quart moble1 2quarts amsoil.

 

you can, but its not recommended. just make sure that they are all the same weight at least. but thats not saying that i would do it.

 

castrol
