Does anyone have any info./opinions about Royal Purple motor oil?

 

If u gotta make motor oil purple so people will buy it then your oil probably isn't that good.

------------------
'97 F-150 XLT Expidition front end (no idea why). 17inch 4x4 wheels with 32 inch tires flowmasters with tips, K&N filter, 5-spd, 4.2 V-6 bedliner, bright clearcoat red, stepside, hidden hitch, 3.55 gear ratio, tinted windows and a BIG reg ford sticker on the back window (my greatest joy is cutting people off who have calvin pissin on the ford sign and they HAVE to look at my big red sticker)

 

There was an article in one of my mustang magazines inwhich they used purple, it was good for about 3-5 HP. Don't know about it lub abilities though. Most synthetics are superior.

2000 Sport,Black,5.4L, 3.55 LS,Rear 2in drop, Gibson Super truck, K&N. 86 5.0 Mustang LX w/off road h-pipe, Borla catback, FMS 65mm TB, K&N, 180 Degree thermostat,14 Degrees timing

 

I've been using it for about a year now in the engine, both diffs. and tranny (even though they recommended not to as they do not have a Mercon V compatible ATF). Noticeable difference- I picked up 2 mpg over Mobil 1 I has previously been using. I was introduced to it by a few engine builders who swear by it. I have also seen a few magazine articles were it was good for some horsepower and torque. All of which my 4.6 4x4 can definitely benefit from.

'98 Flareside 4x4 Off Road, cowl induction hood, 33x12.50 BFG's, 16.5x9.75 Weld's, billet grill and bumper insert, 3" body lift, K&N intake kit, Steeda headers, Gibson exhaust, carbon fiber interior, SVT gauges

 

Heard about it from a couple of racer friends who swear buy it. Looks kinda neat pouring purple oil in. So far no problems, first run so can't tell for sure how it will work in long run.

 

I've heard about it from some racers that I know of, that is where their big market is. They are on the same level as Redline in that they use a slightly older technology in their synthetics, but tend to be of a high quality when compared to other oils.

As Redline is ester-based, that makes it different, I don't know what RP uses as its primary basestock though.

Hey Gang,
Where do you get it?

 

My best guess would be to go to
www.royalpurple.com

and ask them who the nearest dealer is to your zip code. As I've never bought the stuff, I can't tell you any other way.
