GT-1® MAX MOTOR OIL WITH LIQUITEK®
Premium Full-Synthetic Passenger Car Engine Oil; Formulated With LiquiTek
Kendall® GT-1 Max Motor Oil with LiquiTek is a premium quality, full-synthetic automotive engine oil designed to provide excellent engine protection for turbocharged direct injection conventional gasoline-fueled and flex-fueled passenger cars or light trucks. This engine oil is recommended for vehicles operating at extreme temperatures or under severe driving conditions, such as towing heavy loads.
GT-1 Max Motor Oil with LiquiTek is formulated with synthetic base stocks and an exclusive performance additive package. Compared to conventional engine oils, GT-1 Max Motor Oil provides better protection against viscosity breakdown, deposit formation at high temperatures, lower volatility for reduced oil consumption, and faster oil circulation at lower temperatures, which ensures easier starting and better protection during cold starts. Our LiquiTek additive package provides increased engine protection by increasing engine cleanliness and reducing wear. By reducing friction, this oil also helps improve fuel economy performance beyond ILSAC GF-6 requirements.
GT-1 Max Motor Oil with LiquiTek exceeds new car warranty requirements as defined by ILSAC GF-6. This oil is formulated to help combat low speed pre-ignition (LSPI) in turbocharged gasoline direct injection engines. GT-1 Max Motor Oil with LiquiTek meets or exceeds “Resource Conserving” requirements for fuel economy improvement, emission system and turbocharger protection, and protection of engines operating on ethanol-containing fuels up to E85. It is backward serviceable for use where API SN or earlier “S” category engine oils are recommended.
