How many miles do you all put on your trucks between oil changes? I am used to putting 5,000 on my old truck using mobil 1. I have heard anywhere from 6,000 to 9,000. If this is wrong please let me know. I have about 1,500 on it now since I went to RP.
Thanks.

 

No one but me running RP? Odd.

 

i actually just got my truck a few weeks ago, but i bought 6 quarts of RP the other day.... but havent gotten the oil filter yet... ill be changing the oil this weekend most likely...

but i too would like to know more about it from people that have used it....

 

I've been using Royal Purple for about a year and try to change the oil every 5 thousand miles...but sometimes more if I've been running it at the track a lot.

 

I've been using RP's #11(5w20) Racing oil since the 4,000 mile-mark. I change it about every 7-9,000 miles with the K&N Gold oil fiter. It now has 59,900 trouble-free miles on it. No noises--cold or hot.

Thanks guys. I think I am gonna go 7,000 between changes.

 

JDM02SVT,
Do you go to Baylor? I have buddy that goes there who knows a guy with an L. Wonder if youre the same guy. My buddies name is Harris. Know him?

 

I also use the royal purple 5w20 and I change it every 5000 miles just easier to keep track of 20,000, 25,000, 30,000 ect. Great stuff I think I may go to the 5w30 it's a little cheaper $4.00 from Jegs vs. $5.69 for the 5w20

I don't recognize the name, but if he goes to the track I've probably met him. There are a few lightnings around campus...but mine's the only true blue I've seen around. What kind of car does he drive?

 

I go to baylor too

P.S. how do you like the magnaflow catback? do you have pics?

 

georgia-SVT,

That's not the synthetic is it? Last time I ordered some, Jeg's had gone up to 8.50/qt for Racing11 (5w-20)

Grimace,

6-9k miles between oil changes with the synthetic would probably be OK if you wanted to push it, but I would stay closer to 5k. Especially if you drive it hard.

Call me crazy, but I usually change mine every 3k miles.

 

I know you're not asking me for pics...

P.S. - what's going on this weekend (a.k.a. -the last weekend of fun)

 

j/k

gimme a call ho

My son goes to Baylor. He drives an 03 black Mach 1. It has silver stripes instead of the stock flat black. He lives in a condo on Bagby about six blocks from campus.

ASVTFordBoy you got me wondering now I hope it is synthetic I thought all Royal Purple was synthetic? I have a quart here it says 5W20 motor oil with synerlec???? But at the top of the bottle says Royal Purple synthetic oil False advertisement????? So is it synthetic or not they may just have a super duper synthetic for racing.
