Default Conklin Oil ?

Talk to a friend of mine that mentioned he uses this brand of oil and that he prefers it due to the additives that are added. What's the consensus with Conklin oil? Have you heard of it and/or used it and what is the verdict?

An older guy that I work with said he used to run this stuff in his s10's when he had his escort business. He said he changed the oil every 40,000-50,000 miles. Sounds kinda crazy to me but he still has one of the trucks he got new in 95 that now has 450,000 miles on it that he kept for himself to drive. Basically he claims it's good stuff lol.

You'll be Conklin yourself on the head if you use this oil in your Jeep. If it was that great, everyone would use it.
