Royal Purple
 

I hear all the time about how people put this in their Mustangs and how great it is. BUT, I talked to one of the guys I work with (used to work for Ferrari) and he tells me that if you haven't been putting that stuff in there, then don't start now. My car has 64,000 miles on it. Any thoughts from the Mechanics in the house?

I don't like it.. i dont know why it's so popular amongst Stang owners.
Do your own research and look at its analysis after use.. It's a POS oil. and i'm willing to bet the gear oil and transmission fluid is trash too.. i really believe people only like it because it's purple.
Buy something quality..like redline

I started using with 66,000 miles on the clock and no problems here. And man that redline cost more then RP.

I've been using RP on both my Stangs for a while now. There are a lot of test results showing RP does the least amount of damage compared to other common oils.

I went almost 6,000 miles on a K&N Oil Filter and RP 5W20 and the oil was still good. Not to mention, the Cobra is daily driven, and sees quite a few redlines a day(this was part of my RP experiment)

For the record, most poeple don't like it because it's purple, that is a dumb comment. They like it because people that can really tell a difference between oils, realize it is a quality oil.

My engine idle's a lot smoother now. The motor feels smoother while driving. Again, everyone has their opinion on oil . If one person says it's bad, people will feed off of that one time, and say it's bad. I think that is retarded. If you haven't used it, don't talk about it. If you have, then that is your personal preference.

all of our cars are fine with standard oil. To move to ANY synthetic oil is going to be much appreciated by the motor. RP is good but it's harder to find, so I just use Mobil 1

I used RP once once. My car sat for 6 months while deployed and all the valve seals dry rotted which caused me to burn thru oil so fast that I spun bearings and had to buy a new engine. I used regular oil this deployment and the car sat for a year and the car was perfect when I came back.

...I see no problems using Rotal Purple or any other syn. oil for that matter...

Thanks for the input. I think I'll just suck it up and spend the money on the RP.

Thanks again.

Nothing beats good ole Dino oil.........especially in blown apps!

I have had no problem and its been 25,000 Miles with RP.
