Royal Purple - 11/22/2005 12:42:42 AM    ivannj Posts: 321 Joined: 11/2/2005 Status: offline Just to throw out there Royal Purple is the best oil out there. I have a 626 with 147000 mile on it and it runs awesome. I am always burning civics lol. I am now using it on my new Blazer. I buy it by the 5 gallons jugs and thinking about the 55. This stuff is like gold. What do you think. All my fluid (diff, tranny, radiator,trans) all royal purple. For all you guys out there that want to keep your truck in tip top condition this is the stuff to do so. Every oil change with K&N oil filter. Post #: 1

It's Mobil 1 or Amsoil for me and mine. _____________________________ Kyle- 04 Rainier My Restoration Projects Please Do Not PM for Tech Help (in reply to ivannj) Post #: 2

At one point in time I know that they had their API certification revoked, but they have it back now and I can't seem to find any information about the issues that were present. For the price, Mobil 1 is my motor oil of choice. For gear lube, it's a toss up between Amsoil and Mobil 1. For ATF, its Amsoil all the way. _____________________________ Kyle- 04 Rainier My Restoration Projects Please Do Not PM for Tech Help (in reply to Bojib) Post #: 4

Was just wondering if there was maybe something he should know about. (in reply to swartlkk) Post #: 5

I can't even find truely independent testing that has tested Royal Purple, which worries me a bit... I'd rather have clear cut good/bad info over none at all (except Royal Purple's website). _____________________________ Kyle- 04 Rainier My Restoration Projects Please Do Not PM for Tech Help (in reply to Bojib) Post #: 6

He says he owes it all to royal purple. If you talk to alot of racers they will recommend this stuff too. (in reply to ivannj) Post #: 7

And NO motor oil will allow you to drive any further without a cooling system than any other. PERIOD. _____________________________ Kyle- 04 Rainier My Restoration Projects Please Do Not PM for Tech Help (in reply to ivannj) Post #: 8
