First I have to admit that viewing this I'm very disappointed with the Mobil 1 synthetic that I use . I'm now opting to buy this oil named ROYAL Purple.

i second that. Royal purple will be going in my car and my tranny next oil change.

wow so you use the most expensive oil that it listed there and worse of all is not one of the best

btw everybody uses here 10W40 right?

[philosophicaljt]

I use Lucas Oil mostly now. I used to use AMSoil.

You do not need 40 weight unless its super hot outside and your racing way too hardcore. As a matter of fact supra owners with 4-800whp do not even go past 30 weight. Its just not needed and it puts a lot of stress on your pump.

Royal purple is a good oil BUT it was meant for racing and not daily. It performs well but it breaks down fast even though people have claim 10K mile with no problem. Yes the oil itself can handle 10K drives but the make up of the oil fails faster then mobil 1.. Mobil one is the middle man of all oil. It has its perks and all but over all it is the most reliable oil you can buy. castro syn is also doing well but its somewhat still behind.

Redline stuff is very good stuff too but its name explains itself. Meant for racing and not daily. It can handle daily but it will eventually break down. My supra is using redline tranny and lsd oil only while the engine uses strictly 5w20 in the winter and 10w30 for summer in mobil one full syn

Majority rule is winter use the 20 weight and summer use the 30 weight. If your car requires anything out of that range, your running a fully built race car. And if its not a fully built race car, somethings wrong with your car or where you live. ALSO try not to switch oil too much. Switching to different types too often and hurt your seals.

Are you boosted? Mobil1 should be fine for a stock car.

[Camry Racing]

nope I'm not boosted just that now that I see that royal purple is better than mobil 1 I'm gonna change to royal

100+ daily with your going full throttle all the time?

not really always 100F outside but I'm sure that my engine bay gets hotter that 100F a normal day here it can be from 85 F to 100F and of course I'm not going full throttle all the time

Honestly, if you're not boosting or have a fully built motor, there's no reason why you should be using Royal Purple at all. I have a built '88 Mitsubishi Starion Turbo MPI running a much bigger turbo then and boosting high; Royal Purple seems to do the job. My part time DD, a '99 SE V6 5spd is using Mobil 1 Synthetic now - I used the recommended stock Toyota oil for a while, which gave me no issues either.

I guess if you don't mind spending the money then go for it! GL!

From my experiences Royal purple seemed to "thin out" or break down more than Mobil 1. Also used eneos synth race "lubricating" oil which broke down severely, even worse than royal purple. At the time of my blown engine I was running Eneos race oil. Both royal purple and eneos advertise gains in power and I believe it, but for long term protection, contrary to what that seemingly old, out of date test shows, they are pretty poor at best.

I've no problems with mobil 1. The consistency stays near the same thickness at mileage points where my other engine oils seemed to break down already.

i use to run royal purple on my camry for about 2 years, and yeah- it thins out after about 1300-1500 miles. i use syntec now!
