Royalty In The Shade of Purple

[BattelWagun]

Okay, well my neighbor is just begging me to jump to royal purple. He uses it in his 'stang and just rants and raves about how great it is. I wouldn't mind switching to it, as I know it's some pretty high quality stuff, but I can't justify it myself. It's expensive, hard to get, and I've heard stories about its solvents revealing new oil leaks. I'd rather have all of my 'almost' leaks stay 'almost' leaking. My question is: is it worth it? Or should I justs stick with the tool 'ol Valvoline?

Ps- I have a collapsed lifter too.

I personally dont see the point in a non high performance vehicle.Now i do use their gear oil in both my trucks rear ends(front as well in esky), but thats mostly for "what if" i tow something big. That stuff is defiantly some slick stuff. Pep boys is the easiest place to find it.

I have it in my rear end too, for the same reason. It is pretty damn slick! But I think I'm only going to go as far as a k&n filter and some mobil1 synthetic in the hoe. You've confirmed my notion that it's really not that beneficial, anybody else?

If you are not racing it then don't bother. stick with Mobile1 synthetic or similar

I always run mobile 1 with matching filter on everything. I've switched to royal before and saw no real benefit. I look at it this way. Carol Shelby used mobile 1 in all Shelby dodge cars to reduce engine oil temp's and better protect the turbocharged motors. If its good enough for him, its good enough for me.

^Some damn good logic you got there wicked six.

Ive heard royal purple is junk, but everyone has their own opinion.

Im a big mobil one fan here, and will never use pennzoil

one of my parents friends races with the open top cars, i cant remember the specific name for them, amatuer, but his friend did a test with his race car and he tested mobil 1, royal purple, and valvoline, and the mobil 1 gave the most power out of them all and also the engine ran the coolest with mobil 1, i mean power wise its not anything your gonna notice in our trucks lol, but cause of that ive always stuck with mobil 1

 

[BattelWagun]

Well it seems the general consensus is Mobil1, To the parts store!!!
