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 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.
