HP TV did do a thing with royal purple, gained 16HP at the wheels, but it was a newer camaro. Just use any engine oil, I can't tell the difference[&:]

Thats what im doing right now, and I heard that if you keep changing the brand of oil you use it can mess up your car.

Some guy at an auto parts store told me to pick a brand and stick with it but I dont think it would even hurt your car. I just cant see it messing up your engine like the guy says. Well I dont really care, oil is oil.

Not really, some oils have been tested to stand up against stih while others have not been tested, stay away from those because they might cause some damage

There you go, it would not gain you much HP on a 2.3, might get you 2 HP?
