QUOTE(euro911 @ Feb 20 2013, 02:14 AM)  $5 ~ $6 per qt. was about what I paid the last time I bought a case Brad Penn 20/50, but I don't remember what the price for a barrel of crude was going for at the time. It may be more today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) At least around here most oil is running $6 and change. I don't have a local vendor for Brad Penn, so buying on line with shipping is pushing around $8/qt. Not a huge difference, just a bit inconvenient. I think it really boils down to who do you believe? Even for modern engines there is much debate between synthetics and fossil - I've seen several well documented, scientific-based studies that support both schools of thought in this debate. |

The product info sheets on the stree legal versions are pretty specific 14/13 ppm zinc phos, on the conventional. For the synthetic you need to go 20/50 to get to the 13ppm level. I've used it for 10 years in numerous huge spring pressure engines no problems. Some guys who used the overpriced specialty oils like to knock it to make them feel better about paying $10+ a bottle for the same thing.

I use Kendall GT-1 with Liquid Titanium 20/50. Before the company bought it, I pulled a spec sheet I can no longer find at the moment. As I remember, it had .119% ZDDP which equates to 1190 ppm.
When it first hit the market we were able to purchase pallets from Costco and the cost per quart was like $2.50. We now purchase it bulk in 55 gl barrels (not really 55 gallons but what the hell). I stocked up and don't know what the current price is but can check tomorrow. Let the oil wars continue .............................. |
