I work at an Autoparts store and the RP OIL Reps have some sweet demos.

soo any of you royal purple users actually do a UOA to see how your oil is holding up? cause ive seen some UOA's of royal purple and it goes to **** after 2000 miles

anyways i would recommend amsoil, torco, neo

3 of my buddies and i have all spun bearings running mobil 1/royal purple so i will never run that crap again IMO

you don't know what ur talking about... spun bearings = bad motor build or abuse.... not because u didn't use the right oil... (IMO)


still looking for someone with RP in the tranny
