API certification is not a siver star on the front.

same weight oil in any brand is not gonna make a difference in WHP. RP doesnt have alien engineers on staff last time i checked.

I'll say it again......RP must be used through out the whole drivetrain to see the improvement on the dyno.NOT JUST THE MOTOR... I just love how people only want to read what they want to read in a post..Im sure RP wouldve been sued by someone for false marketing unless they had proof to back their claim. And AGAIN,,,, Im glad we can agree to disagree.

they still sell these too claiming massive horsepower and mpg gains.

why not give those a try too?


salesmen must love you norse1974. i think thats a good sales line too, hey nobody has sued us. (althought for RP they might have settled small cases out of court if nobody has brought a class action lawsuit)

there is no reason replacing your fuilds with RP would add HP, unless it defies physics.
