Royal Purple is fantastic Sep 02, 2010
A good oil will just work. It will lubricate and protect. Most oil manufacturers create various grades of oils using different bases and techniques and they produce products that will do the job.
A fantastic oil will go beyond and Royal Purple does exactly that.
I am not an expert but I do know a thing or two about automotive mechanics. The area of lubrication fascinates me and from what I see on the internet, it fascinates many others as well. This is delightful as I was beginning to think that I was a freak! Perhaps I am and perhaps all of us are. Is it so bad to want what's best for your ki.......cars? Your cars! Yeah that's it, yeaaaah. Seee.
After building a supercharged vehicle, I became obsessed with making sure it was running in top shape. It was at the time, my only means of transportation. I started using Mobil 1 synthetic right away and for years, there was no problem. Mobil 1 is a perfect example of a good oil. It did it's job. I've always known about these so-called "high performance" engine oils out there such as Redline, Motul, AMSoil and Royal Purple. I figured that they were all just gimmicks because really, oil is oil right? Well I was wrong.
While shopping in Walmart, I noticed that they had cases of Royal Purple 10w30 for sale. I was there to pick up a case of Mobil 1 but the royal purple was there and it was only a few dollars more expensive. I figured, "why the hell not?". I brought it home and the next day, I changed my car's oil from Mobil 1 to Royal Purple. Now I forgot to mention that my oil changes, which I obviously do myself, happened every 3000-5000 miles and that I change the filter, every time. You can never be too careful with a forced induction car that wasn't meant to be forced to begin with.
Well when I started her up, I IMMEDIATELY noticed that there was a difference. What I noticed was quiet! Then I noticed how smooth the engine was running. It was just plain old special. After warming up I took her for a spin because that's what we do when we try new oils :). The butt-dyno was definitely telling me that the car was faster. She was definitely running stronger and smoother.
A few months ago, I decided to go back to Mobil 1 due to their formula changing (so I read). I wanted to give it another shot. After all was said and done, I went from a "fantastic oil" (Royal Purple) back to a "good oil" (Mobil 1)
Even though I knew I did not need to do it, I quickly swapped it out for some fresh new Purple :)
I tried using it in my little CRF150RB dirt bike but I didn't notice any differences. That bike is like a little bat outta hell. It does however, make a nice difference in my scooter. It is again, smoother, quieter and more powerful and with a scooter, every little bit helps.
In conclusion, in my personal experience and opinion, Royal Purple is just far beyond anything else that I've used.
Info:
Car 10w30:
Mobil 1 - Good
Royal Purple - Fantastic
Dirt Bike 15w40-20w50
AMSOil - Too happy to care
Motul - Having too much fun to give a rip
Royal Purple - Noticeable gains in yeeehawww but not with oil
Scooter: 10w30-10w40
Mobil 1 - Noticeable gain in speed, lower temperatures, and longer viscosity life over petroleum-based oil
Motul semi - Similar to Mobil 1
Motul ester - Similar to Mobil 1
Motul double - Slower more sluggish at first but once oil is HOT, performs exceptionally better than Motul or Mobil 1
Royal Purple - Performs similar to Motul double ester but seems to keep viscosity longer and has a quicker "warm-up"
AMSOil - AMSOil is also a fantastic oil however, it is in my opinion, slightly less than Royal Purple. It does the job well and keeps it's viscosity for a long time but it does so at a higher cost.
I hope this helps!
AMAZING Feb 03, 2010
My Saab always had a semi-synthetic in it. Today I put RP in and WOW! The quite noticeable ticking sound that had been in the engine for the last 3 years is gone. SMOOTH running now like never before. And if you go to the Wmart for an oil change, they will charge you the same for this as any other synthetic change, even though it averages about $3-4/qt higher than all the other synthetics.

Motor oil Oct 11, 2009
Thankyou for your quick service. I have been using Royal Purple for years and I find it to be the best synthetic oil on the market

Good stuff Sep 26, 2009
First time using Royal purple. So far so good, i have in excess of 250K miles on the original engine still going strong and hope to keep it that way for a very long time, of course i'm willing to deep into my pocket a bit more for better quality. I normally prefer not to brag about a product till i'm able to determine it's true benefits over other products. By the way this oil is going into my 1987 BMW e28.

Very satisfied Sep 13, 2009
It was mentioned to me by a friend that he used Royal Purple in his rigs, and thought I would try it out. I am glad I did. My Suzuki has 97,000 miles on the motor and it has never, I really mean never run so smooth. We get a steady mile and a half more in gas milage. I am going to change my Tahoe and my GMC over when it is time.
