Default Anyone using royal purple HPS 5w30?

I have royal purple synchromax in the transmission and their 70-140 gear oil in the rear end. I saw the hps(high performance street) oil advertised somewhere and thought I'd give it a try. I liked the fact that it may void your factory warranty!

I was shocked at how it literally pours out of the bottle like water. I'm going to stick some in the freezer and make a video of how it pours below freezing.

I've been running Pennzoil platinum 5w30 for the past 20,000 miles, which is over 3 years for me. I just sent a sample of it to blackstone for analysis, but I tainted it with 4 oz of zddp+.

I'm going to do an oil analysis on it after 3,500 miles. It costs me $8.50 per quart ordering through amazon. I might mix it with 3 quarts of 10w40 next time, if the uoa shows a lot of shearing.

Not running it and never would.

Royal Purple is no good since they started
selling it at the local parts store chains.
AMSOIL puts it to shame...

I've never used RP and I'm partial to Amsoil.

This was not a which is better post or what oil do you prefer. Amsoil is the religious cult of motor oils.

You can surf the forum and **** at the same time, just open another tab.

When Amsoil starts selling on Amazon or auto parts stores, then I might try it. I hate their **** dealer network, pyramid scheme business model, hate it!

I simply order directly from their website, no middle man. And when I was living in the Chicago suburbs, I ordered on-line and picked up semi-locally (a great excuse for a short 50 mile round trip).

My wife says that when I surf ****, there's too little blood left in one of my 2 heads to multi-task... I can't argue with that.

I dealt with that when I was in the performance business. Amsoil "dealers" would approach me like Amway representatives. Shady shady. I've always wondered if they were related. Still use good old Mobil 1 full syn in my car.
