Oil test this makes it easy to choose

[Mr. Luos]

You want your oil to come out dirty.

no a bad dirty. It would be dirty after a couple days of being in there and be nasty coming out. It isn't so dirty now and it has 300 miles on the change

[Mr. Luos]

Black oil is good to drain.

I want mine black anything after 200 miles.

eh more particulate matter than just going black. it was nasty. just went and checked it (im in the basement anyways) and it's a little dark but no particulate matter.

My oil and coolant look the same. Be jealous.

they did the dino test on horsepower tv and switching all the fluids to royal purple did give a gain I am shocked to hear the complaints here you guys will spend thousands on mods but balk at spending an extra 12 dollars to protect them you have to admit they do have a good rep other than price I have never heard anything bad about it

it worked for me the drive train felt a lot smoother after I did the RP tranny and diff fluid and my car has 134xxx miles still haven't had to open the block up no weird sounds or anything. I've put 54,000 miles on my car in 1 1/2yrs too I do not baby my car I go to races every weekend and race anything that I can get to race me. It's been worth it to me so far I don't hear that its bad oil just expensive I'll send an extra $12 every 3k for it.

[Mr. Luos]

I would LOVE to see proof.
Like on a dyno.

[Mr. Luos]

I see yeah I didn't dyno before changing but I think my friend might change his over in his turbo'd focus i'll see if he's down to dyno.

Fucking marketing bullshit. Allow a moment
Firstly the Timken machine test is total and 100% marketing bullshit. It was designed to test grease. In no form or manner does it even come close to duplicating an internal engines environment. Means absolutely nothing. So if a motor oil does absolutely great or totally shitty on the Timken machine it means absolutely nothing at all. Guess what will kick the shit out of every motor oil tested on the Timken machine. Fucking bleach. Yes laundry bleach will show no wear at all. I refuse to put bleach in my motor. Sorry guys. Timken machine test to give some type of credibility to some foreign or domestic motor oil...... God help us all.....when folks are educated then maybe we can move on from the Timken test and Dyno bullshit to sell motor oil. And if I hear one more time "I put Royal Purple in my motor/trannie/rear end and it felt smoother" I'm gonna kill myself. Of course it felt smoother...it was fresh oil! You could have put fucking WolfsHead 90 weight in there and it would have felt smoother...." I use Royal Purple and my car hasn't blown up"....OK....how does your UOA look? I'll say this one more time....many UOA's have been done on RP. It shears all to shit and is way over priced for the wear metals it returns. But they do a great job of marketing. Home Depot sells cow shit in a bag and sells it for $15 bucks as Organic Fertilizer....still cow shit in a bag. Maybe they should put it in a purple bag or run their cow shit through a Timken machine.....then charge $7 bucks for a quart bottle of their purple cow shit with the Timken machine test to back it up.

Sarge is in da house! I'm still cracking up over the cow shit comparison.

I have always heard Royal Purple was junk as well, mostly from what I have read on BITOG. Thanks for stepping in Sarge. LMAO as always.
