Default GAIN 9HP by using Royal Purple Oil???

It says it in the banner on the top of this site....

Where do they get claims like these? Does that even make sense? Anyone feel any difference with that oil?

I saw something on the tv show trucks one time where they test this oil out. It showed a slight difference on the dyno but i dont remember the exact num. I use royal purple in my 02 gt and i cant feel any kind of difference.

Its kind of common sense if you think about it. Less friction = less heat, more power. Personally, I noticed a difference when I switched to synthetic.

yeah.. there was an article in HOT-ROD magazine few years ago where they changed the engine, transmission, and diff fluid and saw these type of gains. I'm pretty sure it was an auto car though, where the tranny fluid would really shine.

If you claim to 'feel' the power difference by switching to synthetic it's in your heard. I use mobil 1 synthetic and there was no difference. Hell i'm not even sure I could notice after installing a full exhaust, the different power levels.

Your brain expects it... so you do.

I call BS. Oil by itself cannot make you gain 9HP.
