Any oil is better than no oil or dirty oil. I dont know about kendall oil. Mobil 1 or Castrol full synthetic are my top choices. Im still under warranty though so i have to use Mobil 1.

i know kendal conventional oil used to be ausome, its all we used in the race cars i worked on (top alcohol dragster). it was more stable and would maintain oil pressure a lot better, once the throttle is lifted we saw 20psi higher than any other oil. after a point we could no longer get it in canada so we went away from it. id love to get my hands on some synthetic for my own car.
