You should check the approved oils list elsewhere in this forum.

My general policy is if you have been using something and there are no issues, just stick with it.

I doubt changing oil types from one synthetic to another would cause much harm but it IS the life blood of your engine, so if in doubt, stick with what was working before.

I've never read of anyone on these forums using Kendal so you'll be doing engine testing for the rest of us if you go that route.

I've been using Mobil 1, Royal Purple and now RedLine.

Good luck.
