GT-1® COMPETITION MOTOR OIL WITH LIQUITEK®

Conventional Engine Oil for High Performance and Competition Engines

Kendall® GT-1 Competition Motor Oil with LiquiTek protection additive is a high-quality, conventional automotive engine oil designed for use in gasoline-fueled passenger cars and light trucks that do not require an ILSAC GF-6 oil for warranty coverage. The SAE 20W-50 and SAE 50 viscosity grades are recommended for use in high-performance street engines and competition engines, including both gasoline- and alcohol-fueled racing vehicles.

GT-1 Competition Motor Oil with LiquiTek is formulated to provide excellent wear protection, to minimize sludge and varnish formation, and to resist viscosity and thermal breakdown, even in severe service. This engine oil also protects against rust and bearing corrosion and is highly resistant to foaming. GT-1 Competition Motor Oil with LiquiTek SAE 20W-50 contains a boosted level of zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) additive to provide additional wear protection and enhanced oxidation resistance. This grade is recommended for use in turbocharged engines and in high-performance engines with flat-tappet camshafts, especially during the critical break-in period.

GT-1® COMPETITION MOTOR OIL WITH LIQUITEK®

Features & Benefits
