    I use Royal Purple. What do you have to say about it Cammed? I've read Sarge's posts concerning oils and he pretty much doesn't give Royal Purple high marks but, I like it.

    Convince me why I should switch to Mobil 1 and then I'll have yours and Sarge's take on it.

    i use mobil 1 in the camaro and valvoline maxlife in my monte carlo. oil's changed every 3,000 miles.

    i can't bring myself to put penzoil or quakerstate in any of my vehicles.

    i used royal purple in my motorcycle once and saw zero additional benefits from it. they claimed lower operating temps etc...i had higher operating temps while using royal purple. never touching it again.

    but castrol edge...

    15,000 mile change intervals? holy shit. i don't know so much about that. i might pull it out to 5,000 miles but that would be about it.

    Well, maybe it's me, but my car felt more responsive using the RP. The car just took off when I used the RP. Mobil 1 is just as good, but the car feels "heavier". Can't really describe it very well. Spun 1st gear more than with the M1. Maybe with the cam and tune and RP the car woke up?

    I've posted results on Royal Purple from the lab. Discussed VOA's of Royal Purple. What do you base your "affection" for Royal Purple on? Butt Dyno? Commercials? Magazine Ads?

    You can put 20 weight Wolfs Head motor Oil in there and it will feel "more responsive"...doesn't mean anything....sure as hell doesn't mean your protecting your motor.....

    Keep us posted. I'm interested. A new Castrol. I used Syntec Blend in my previous car for the nine years I owned it.

    LOL. Yeah, I think butt dyno. I just don't want to switch oils and then keep switching if I am not satisfied.

    Probably like most people, it's because that's what advertisng BS he bought into & can't change out without feeling like a dumbshit.

    Most people like this will claim it hasn't given them any problems, but don't realize the problem isn't something they'll notice unless they're watching thier UOA's.
