In 1997, American Refining Group, Inc. (ARG), a privately held energy company headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, purchased the Kendall/Amalie refinery located in Bradford, PA, from Witco Corporation. As a result of the sale by Witco, of the Kendall® and Amalie® brands to a third party, a new name was given to the products produced at the site: Brad Penn® Premium Pennsylvania Grade Lubricants. He also said that Cen-Pe-Co doesn't have a refinery their a blender of oils. He also said I can get the oil for around $5.00 a quart with shipping. |

But since I've went to alcohol it seems to milk real fast. My vacuum pump is working well so I was looking for an oil that wouldn't mix with alcohol so easily, maybe giving my vacuum a chance to pull alittle more alcohol out.

He also said that Cen-Pe-Co doesn't have a refinery their a blender of oils. He also said I can get the oil for around $5.00 a quart with shipping. He said minimum of 1500 PPM. I've always used Valvoline, but have recently found out that they have sold their refinery and are now using blenders. I don't know, but using blenders seems kinda like giving a recipe to different people, each can have the same recipe and still come up with a different product. To me if Brad Penn doesn't mix easily with alcohol, that has to be a definite advantage. The Brad Penn, High Performance Oils contain the higher level of anti-wear (ZDDP – zinc dialkyldithiophosphate) and enhanced film strength so critical to proper high performance engine protection. The Penn-Grade 1 oils of 1,500 ppm Zinc (Zn) and 1400 ppm Phosphorus (P) content provide the needed anti-wear protection to critical engine parts, such as piston/cylinder walls, roller cams under heavy valve spring pressure and especially those that employ a solid “flat tappet” type system. The unique base oil cut used to refine the Penn-Grade 1, High Performance Oils maintain a tremendous affinity to metal surfaces. This naturally occurring “metal wetting” characteristic enables the oil to stay put on your highly stressed engines and makes the Penn-Grade 1 High Performance Oil resist slinging for an extended period of time. Darrell Reid, a friend that runs a promod car told me that they use to milk their oil after just one pass. After they went to Brad Penn it wasn't milky after a whole race. He also said that in trying to wash off parts with carb cleaner that the oil didn't want to come off even with carb cleaner. Well, I've got 2 cases ordered, it was $48.00 a case and 20.00 shipping and handling. For a total price of $4.83 a quart. |
Months ago I visited the Brad Penn site, and quoted...
1500 zinc 1400 phosphorous I purchased a case of 25/50 and 50 wt |
