Leading Lubricants Supplier Launches Premium Quality, Full-Synthetic Passenger Car Engine Oil


Houston - ConocoPhillips Company, the fourth largest U.S. lubricants supplier, today announced the introduction of 76® Super Synthetic Motor Oil to its existing line of high quality lubricant products. The new 76 Super Synthetic is a premium full-synthetic passenger car engine oil that is specially formulated to meet the rigorous performance requirements of the GM4718M (“Corvette”) specification. It is also recommended for use in most late model Cadillacs as well as all turbo-charged General Motors engines, according to Clarence McCollum, Director of Automotive Products, ConocoPhillips Company.

“We formulated 76 Super Synthetic Motor Oil with high quality synthetic ingredients to provide enhanced performance benefits when compared to conventional engine oils,” explained McCollum. “The benefits include improved oxidation resistance, enhanced thermal stability at high temperatures as well as better low-temperature pumbability. By upgrading to this new motor oil, passenger car owners can be assured that their engine will continue to run at peak performance while also achieving improved fuel economy.”

The new 76 Super Synthetic Motor Oil is available in two viscosity grades, SAE 5W-30 and SAE 10W-30, which both meet or exceed API SM/CF and ILSAC GF-4 performance requirements for new cars under warranty. Additionally, the SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade meets the performance requirements of the Honda HTO-06 standard for use in the Acura RDX.
