I've used BradPenn 15w-40 forever. Back when I was a kid, it was called Kendall oil and it was green. We always thought it was good stuff. Somewhere around twenty years ago the name Kendall got sold, so it went one way and the green oil went another and became BradPenn. Today's Kendall bears no resemblance to the old Kendall oil at all. Today's BradPenn, which is still green, is also "partially synthetic." Maybe it was always partially synthetic. I don't know exactly what that means. They could just as easily call it "partially natural" or "semi-organic" I suppose. I don't know if the green color comes from dye or not, but I've always kind of liked that. I don't know if the Kendall from when I was a kid was partially synthetic, partially natural, semi-organic or what. But it was green, it seemed to work, and we were kids and knew everything there was to know under the sun. We knew it all. All I know now is what I read on the 'net, and 99% of that is total and complete BS.
