Kendall Full Syn Oil feedback.

My car has 63K on it right now, I'd been using Royal Purple and Mobil 1 Full Syn all the way back then. I replaced my oil at every 4500 Miles. But now at 4000 miles.
I got this promotion from pepboys for 5 quarts of Kendall full syn oil with proline filter for $19.99 dollars, since i need an oil change and for that price for a full syn "why not with this economy". i decided to give it a try. Or you you can buy it for $4.99 per quart

Kendall oil in my engine for about 1000 miles now, and i have to say that i'm very happy with it. It's just as smooth as royal purple and mobil1. I do notice increase in power, my car very aggressive lately. When i'm stop at red light with ac on at level 3, i can't hardly notice the car is vibrating at all. The engine just plain smoooth I'm score 37 MPG with it for about 60% hwy with 40% City with aggressive driving, on hwy i put 75-90mph lately. I don't use my brake alot, i drive fast but i don't follow peoples, when i see a red light i'll release the gas pedal and let the yaris slow down i guess that will help my mpg a little bit since i drove over 80mph on hwy.

Something to share, i probably will replace my engine oil with Kendall again and see how it's go.

Sounds like a good deal.
I've used other Conoco-Philips oils in the past with good results too.

I'm still kicking myself for not buying all the Conoco Trop-Arctic they had at the dollar store a few years back for a buck a qt!

its probably a really additive heavy dino oil similar to castrol... I'd stay with the mobil or RP unless you're tight for cash right now.

There's a local auto parts store thats selling RP for $7.88/qt .... i've been tempted to pick up a case.
