royal purple doesn't do anything imo some claim it does but I can't justify the cost. Irun 5w-30 mobil one synthetic thats what a lot of guys run on here. Also use a k&n oil filter but you can use whatever you want. wix,fram,mobil 1 etc

It's more about product quality than anything. There's a sticky on oil and oil filters in the General Tech boards. Generally, FRAM is trash, PureOne is a notch up, and K&N is the best oil filter you can buy. As long as it's not a FRAM though you should be golden, if you're changing every 3k.

Royal Purple, Mobil 1, Valvoline, Castrol and all good. WHEN you change your oil is more important.
