I use RP in my L and my2k 300M. No prblems here. First thing you'll notice is how much faster the engine turns over on start up. About same price as Mobil 1, RP is a little harder to find in my area

Slippery Stuff
Royal Purple is good stuff, I've used it and it seems to quite things down a little. After break-in, any of the major synthetics are good.

I had RP in for 600 miles, then this happened:




Nah, it seemed like great oil, right before the guy put me into the wall on the highway.
