I completely understand what you are doing. I used to BUILD race engines when I was younger and single.
I'm going to tell you what I did for your knowledge. I have a 99 Silverado with 300k on the original engine. This truck has been used hard for it's entire life. At 100k it developed a small leak in the left valve cover gasket at the corner. I changed both gaskets. When I did I noticed there was a good amount of deposits burned into pretty much everything I could see. I had been using Mobile One 5w-30 full synthetic since the first oil change at 500 miles. I gave the original oil 500 miles of break in on the engine.
At 100k I did a oil change with Royal Purple. Drove the truck 5k and drained the oil. My friend and mechanic put a camera into the oil filler tube to see what the deposits looked like. We were both amazed. 5k removed about 85% or so of the blackening from the valve train. I was very impressed.
At 160k I put a tree limb through the oil pan. Towed the truck home, ordered a pan and gasket set and went under the truck. We inspected the bottom end. We noticed there was not a lot of discoloration, but could tell there had been. We figured it was cleaned out by the Royal Purple at 100k. So now we are at 160k on the original 5.3L Vortec and need new oil. Royal Purple goes in for 5k, then back to Mobile One. Every 5k new Mobile One goes in. At 215ki tear the pan on a rock. New pan and gasket, go under the truck, and pull the pan. The crank looked almost new. At 200k i did a Royal Purple oil change. So I put the new pan on, and pulled both valve covers. The top end looked amazing. No dark spots. No deposits. No build up.
At 299,973 miles the 5.3 Vortec had it's first failure. I dropped the lifter on #7. This is the ONLY engine problem I have ever had with this truck. So we pulled the engine out and started tear down. The parts looked amazing. Just a bit of dark color here and there. The cam, crank, pistons all look like they are almost new. There is 300k on this engine so it is off to the machine shop to square it back up.
One of the guys at the machine shop asked how many miles were on it while he was looking at the parts on the bench. He said there was no way this engine was 300k old.
I talked to the owner of the shop about the Royal Purple oil and how it cleaned my engine. He told me he sees it all the time. Showed me a 5.7 Vortec with 575k. The owner did a Royal Purple oil change every 50k. The parts were clean and shiny.
The Royal Purple works to clean EVERYTHING out of the engine. Run it for 5k then change back to your normal oil.
When the engine is complete and broken in , I will be doing Royal Purple oil changes every 50k for now on.
I drive tractor trailers for a living and own my own. I have been doing Royal Purple oil changes on the Detroit Diesel in my Western Star every 5th oil change, so every 50k since in bought that truck. 735k on it and never have had anything other than injectors replaced. At 750k we are pulling the pan to look at the bottom end.
Thank you for the story!
So you're saying every 50k miles use royal purple?
FWIW Mobil 1 is garbage oil and should never be used at any costs. Try shell Rotella if you want to clean out your engine for cheap.
I have a new 2019 silerado i want too use royal purple entire life of truck why not use it from day one and not swap between oils
I actually may have to try this with my 94 k2500 suburban. I have the 454, and I put it to work quite often.
I used Shell Rotella T6 to clean out an engine in the past. Ran it for 2 changes and it totally cleaned it out with amazing results.
I love RP and been using it for years...had my heads off on a wrx with 80,000 and the cams and internals looked brand new
I have been using Royal purple for over 20 years in various cars. It was actually a racing team that was using the oil with a very successful career when I started to use it.
Love it!!! Flashlight off for the non believers!!! You just made your point that much better and accurate! Really appreciate you going through all this not only for scientific purposes but for very useful information. I Sir will continue to use Royal Purple no matter what. You are a true humanitarian and The Man!!!!! Thank You Sooo Much Again!!!
I'm a BELIEVER! I just bought ROYAL PURPLE for my 2017 KIA OPTIMA because of your videos. Please keep the videos coming.👍
Appreciate the comment. This will be one of the last RP videos but I will be doing other oils!
Oil filter changes is the cheapest insurance for a clean engine. I've done a filter change at 1500 mile intervals for my vehicles since the 70s and have never had an engine fail or self-destruct due to oil (period!), no matter the brand/type of oil I use. Oil filters are relatively cheap, as compared to a rebuild. I have also plumbed my engines w/ a catch can to improve the air quality going into the engine. All little steps towards the end goal of a cleaner engine w/ a longer life. Edit: I've been using RP for 15+ years now, w/ excellent results.
Way, way, Overkill. Just buy quality filters and the results will remain the same.
How many max miles did you go out of an engine ?
This isn't the 70's but if you like filling the landfill and wasting money. Makes no sense to change it that often unless you're racing a car.
My 2000 4Runner is at 292k miles and runs like new ! No check engine light illuminated! Averages 18mpg and it’s lifted 5 inches on 33 inch tires !
Royal Purple can be run for 15,000 Miles or once a year on a Single Oil Change. I've been doing that regularly for nearly 20 years now.
And Royal Purple is a Synthetically made oil. There is no crude oil in the product.
Along with Royal Purple, Amsoil, Redline, Syn Lube Lube4Life, Lucas (Hi Performance), and Neo Synthetic are also Synthetic (Man Made) oils with no crude oil in their products.
Lets all reduce our dependancy on crude by switching to these oils I mentioned folks. Nuff said and great video.
It depends on the engine. Some engines run cleaner than others. For example 2017 Range Rover 3.0L sc goes 16,000 miles between oil changes on any SAE 0w-20 oil. Where a 1977 Olds Cutlass needs to be changed every 3,000 miles, including if it has RP in it or not.
You forgot Penzoil synthetic which is derived from natural gas.
Thank you so much for these videos. I drive a lot (about 1000 miles per month) so I think it's great that Royal Purple cleans as much as it does because I definitely need it. I was literally standing in the auto parts store staring at brands of oils I wanted to try and watching parts 1-4 of this series lol. The recommended Castrol 10w40 is hard to come by on my island so I decided to switch and I always felt like it's stupid to stick so blindly to one oil brand when there are brands out there like this. Thanks again Bro.
Thanks for the comment! I hope it treats you as well as it has to me
This actually makes me feel better about my first oil change on my "new to me" car. I had intended to do a full engine flush and oil change to royal purple. Got ii all done and buttoned back up only to see the full bottle of engine flush still sitting on my bench. I was kind of upset with myself knowing that I forgot to put that stuff in seeing as that was pretty much the only reason I changed the oil a little early. Might still do an engine flush next time but now I don't feel so bad. Thanks for going through the trouble of making these videos.
Watch my question and answer video. I feel like we go over a few points that’ll help you out! Thanks for the comment and good luck with your new car
Great video. I've been using Royal Purple for over 10 years. Most of my cars have been turbocharged (that tortures oil when driven hard due to turbine shaft cooling). I pay $35 at Advance Auto parts for 5 quarts and a quality oil filter (K&N, Mobil 1, Purolator Boss) so for the price you just can't beat Royal Purple! I currently own a 2005 Dodge Neon Srt 4 (Turbocharged 2.4 L) for the past 2 years. This oil has silenced the motor a bit and increased my MPG. I even switched my tranny oil (75w-90) Royal Purple synchromax. My shifts are butter smooth. I even changed my power steering fluid to Royal Purple. My power steering pump doesn't whine anymore. So after 10 years I'm a Royal Purple fanboy and proud of it! But don't take my word, try'em all and find what works for you. Best of luck .
I heard of royal 👑 purple it actually works but seing it in person wow blows my mind up definitely im going to get royal purple oil in my next oil change.
I started using Royal purple on my Ford Edge and it will go in all of my vehicles now
Royal purple did wonders over a high milage 4g63 using mobil one. Cleaned the top end extremely well. Also made the lifters sound quieter.
How many miles should you run the royal purple before changing it? Also do you use RP on every oil change or do you switch back to your regular synthetic oil?
@@brucebruce479 did u find out
Royal Purple Synthetic , was my go to Oil after struggling to get AMSOIL ! My Father was a Mechanic on Heavy Equipment , and his take was Always Choose the Best Oil Available ( Oil is Cheap Compared to Repairs or Replacement of Engines ) . Stay with with that Oil and Don't use anything different in that Vehicle . Quite a Few Friends have switched over to it , after Hearing my Take on Royal Purple & they report a little Better Gas Mileage from the Vehicle Monitor Reading One more thing My Father Taught me , Never Buy Cheap Oil filters ( buy the Best ) . I change my Oil every 5,000 miles , Or once a Yr if I haven't put 5,000 Miles on it ! No matter how many miles the Oil says its Good for !
Yep. That's how clean my motor looked when it was apart for cam install. Yes R.P is all I run.
I had a 2007 F-150 with the 5.4 Triton V8 engine. I did a complete RP switch (transmission, rear diff., radiator, and engine oil). The truck ran smoother and quieter than any vehicle I’ve ever owned. I’ve got slight hearing loss and would leave my truck running many times because I would forget it was even running. I switched to RP in a 96 Camry as well. I did an oil change after 1000 miles. I sent that oil off as well as oil from the next oil change at another 1000 miles and the company said that my engine quality had improved because the oil did not have the same traces of metals or h2o like it had previously. Of course that came with changing out several seals as well.
I’ve been a mobile one fan for over 15 years. It’s all I’ve ever put into the Chevrolet’s I’ve owned. May just swap to rp in the 97 1500 after this next oil change n see the difference. Keep in mind she has just under 200k on a original engine. Routine changes & maintenance have been done on time or prior too scheduled intervals/mileage. But great videos! Keep up the hard work m8. Looking forward to more.
ProjectFarm did a great series on testing every oil he could get his hands on. The results were very interesting.
Brent yes but he doesn’t test the detergent/cleaning factor
I think it came down to amzoil and penzoil full synthetic Nd penzoil won.
It's a shame he didnt test CERMA or Purol.
@@hazelstreet1654 haha I just watched it before coming here... Amsoil won 2 of 3 tests
I was using Quaker State full synthetic on my 2012 Hyundai Sonata since I bought it brand new. I was able to get 285k miles on it. But now with my 2013 Kia Optima (same engine as the 2012 Hyundai Sonata), I switched to Royal Purple.
My 2000 Blazer is about to go up to 178,xxx miles. No idea what the 4.3's past life has been, besides under-maintained. Oil was pure black when I got it, and only ever had 5 of 6 spark plugs replaced (middle plug on driver's side under the steering shaft is a bitch to get to). Replaced with Supertech 5/30, and new filter. Seems to run well for it's shape. I will certainly run RP in my next change. It can't hurt, and hopefully it cleans it out as well as you've shown it does. Cheers and thanks for the time on doing this test!
2007 Accord coup 6 cylinders.
Been using SuperTech full synthetic from the day it went out of warranty (2010).
I’m sure the Royal Purple would help clean it out, but why bother.
188,000 miles and purrs like a kitten 🐈⬛.
When I did the timing belt at 110,000 , took off the headers and it was VERY clean. Clean as a whistle.
You seem to be doing just fine and you’re saving money. The key is to change your oil regularly and never push it to a ridiculous number.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
I am considering using Royal Purple, after I do a major refresh on my EJ25 in my Outback. This helps out very much. Thanks.
I have a legacy GT as well. How did it go
Just swapped to RP about 900 miles ago from your videos! My engine looked similar to yours. It quit ticking on cold start ups!
I have the same light, it was the best thing I ever got from Harbor Freight.
I've been using Royal Purple XPR in a Toyota 1MZ engine with great results. The engine even sounds different when running that oil. It gives more of a sewing machine type of sound when revving than it seems to with any oil shops used to use in the past or even with the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum that I've also tried. Both are very good oils though. I've been alternating back and forth for a couple years now.
I loved seeing the Styrofoam casting marks in the head, under the cams. That's likely from the list foam casting process.
You are correct sir!
lost foam casting
I used Mobile 1 full syn until RP became widely available then switched over in my old '06 Grand Prix at close to 50k miles. I was able to see down oil fill tube and after the third oil change the parts I could see were Staind with a purple tint and all the dark spots/deposits were gone! I put 198k on that car before donating and never had an oil leak or any sort of internal damage. It does improve gas mileage for around 3500 miles for me as well - at which time I change. I have a '16 Murano now that I also purchased new and switched over from conventional oil after manufacturer break in period at 10k. Had a small amount of deposit on the top of the head I could see before the switch. Vehicle now has 76k and the top of the head is also stained with a purple tint with zero visible deposits - and never any additives added to oil. RP is great stuff and worth the few extra dollars.
As a side note, I try red lines full syn oil in my high mileage Durango and that Grand Prix once. It seemed to increase noise on the top end of the engine, turned black quickly and did nothing for fuel economy. Swapped back to RP after 2k. It didn't build any visible deposits, but was only in the vehicles for a short amount of time during the cooler fall season in Colorado. Red line is way over priced garbage in my opinion. If RP would go out of business I would try Valvoline full syn first as my brothers company trucks all do well with their high mileage products.
Enjoyed the videos!
I have an 02 2500HD 423,000 miles one it. Bought it with 62,000 miles. I used M1 all the time. I used to haul wutever I could. Sumtimes more than I should of 👍 Got my hands on 2, 2 1/2gl containers dirt cheap. Started using it. My oil was coming out dirty. Thought sumtin was kinda wrong but engine was running really good. Went back to M1. Got my hands on a 5gl Royal Purple. Same thing started to happen. Dirty oil. But my engine just wasn't "happy". Switched to Pennzoil. Had the o-ring on pick up tube go out. Mechanic showed me bottom of engine. She was clean. I kept using Pennzoil. 5-30 synthetic. While my truck ran beautiful with Amsoil, can't always afford. Both Amsoil and RP were cleaning up things. I read sumwhere that RP has micro polishers or sumtin to that affect. What I have kept doin is just that. I run my Penzoil. Then run 2 changes of Amsoil. Oil valley's are looking really nice. Like I said, RP just wasn't wutever with my engine. It just wasn't "happy". Amsoil, she's happy.. This is done with 5-30 synthetic and Wix or M1 oil filter. Best of luck to everyone and their engines. Just my take on things.
Rotella T6 for me. No issues on. 380WHP Miata. I change every 1k-2K. This engine sees 28psi and redline non stop. Thats why I do sooner changes
I bought a 2005 nissan Sentra 1.8s with a blown motor. I bought a used engine that was dark like the one you just installed. I changed the oil a few times to just make sure it was cleaned out. Then I switched to royal purple and stayed with it immediately after. I can tell you that first hand it works and cleans. I pulled the valve cover for maintenance not for any other reason and the entire top end was clean and I never had a single issue with that car till the day I traded it in. Now all of my new cars run strictly royal purple from the very first oil change.
I use rotella t t6 full synthetic 5w 40 in everything I love it it works great cleaned everything out and doesn't break down
I just filled my 2001 F-350 with Rotella T-6 5w40 and hoping there are no issues.
As a former mechanic in the military, we were always told that the oil doesn't "wear" out, it just gets "dirty". Now that was 20+ years ago and I am sure modern "additives" probably do change with time. But changing at least once a year will remove the acids and other chemistry nightmares that occur with infrequent use.
i run my daily sreet race car which has a turbo on Royal Purple, engine runs like a dream, it is amazing oil and I wont run anything else, I change oil at every 20,000 street racing miles including my work commute. just hitting 800 thousand KM. Royal Purple has made my engine bullet proof.
I've been using RP 0W-30 on my '15 Chrysler 200. I found you can stretch the oil changes to 8k miles under normal HWY/freeway driving. More stop-and -go driving I can tell on the dipstick that it's ready to be changed at 7k miles. 5k miles is great practice but that is costly.
i have used RP for 8 years...changed oil 1 time a year....averaged about 6-8k miles and used a fs-2500 oil filter.....best combo for me by far....
Are you saying you put 6-8k miles on your car a year?
If you want to clean up deposits, just dump Seafoam in the crank case before an oil change. Run it for a couple days of ordinary driving, then change the oil. I’ve been doing it for 20 years, it works pretty well.
The first time someone suggested Seafoam to me, I had an older F150 with a stuck valve. Seafoam had it unstuck in under 10 minutes.
I run Red Line in my track Evo. But Mobile 1 in my daily Impreza.
I had a 01 mitsubishi that i bought with 16k miles and from the first oil change till the last at about 280k miles i used mobile 1 full synthetic. At 280k miles you could still see bare metal and little to no sludge build up, this car was driven in texas thru the blistering texas heat.
Just dropped some in my 2010 elantra a week ago, so far so good!
Keep us updated!
THANK YOU
Another video at oil change time would be awesome 👏🏽
What would you like to see during an oil change?
Tenza Motorsports just the engine condition and the oil color. Side note, did it help your mpg?
These questions can't be answered with this car. The change intervals on my race car are so short and the car gets so few milage I can't do much oil testing on it. The gas milage in the car averages around 7 mpg, when the car is driven, it's driven like a race car. This is why further testing will be done on more normal vehicles.
For what it's worth, Bobby Lykas recommends running RP for 3K miles the first time, then changing the oil and running it for 5k miles the second time.
Damn it really got up in there and cleaned it
Look at the location of the other oil fill, one is directly over the cam. The other in front , looks like that is the reason...
The way to clean out the engine quick and safe, is by using diesel. Seafoam is basically diesel and naptha and we know that seafoam is a good engine cleaner when added to the crankcase (many unsponsored videos demonstrating this). All popular engine flushes are basically kerosene. So add 1 quart of diesel to the crankcase (assuming you have 5 litres of oil minimum) and then run the engine at idle alone for 15-20 minutes. Then drain the oil, and change to fresh oil and filter. If you really want to test this out, simple, drain out your current oil and set it aside, put in fresh cheap engine oil, run the engine for 5 minutes, take out the oil from the dipstick and spread it out on white cloth, then add 1 litre of diesel, then run the engine for 15-20 mins, then drain the oil and compare colours. You will see that its pretty black, and all that black is carbon and sludge cleaned out from the engine. There is no risk of the diesel not mixing well with the existing crankcase oil and thus thinning it down too much. But if you're very concerned, add 750ml of oil to 750 ml of diesel in a 1.5 litre platic bottle, shake it up, then add the whole lot into the crankcase and begin the flush. NOTE after draining the diesel flush out and adding new oil, any leftover trace diesel will vaporize and get expelled through the ccv system during normal driving - so no worries.
I run valvoline VR1 in my Toyota Supra. I use mobile 1 in my other cars including my old Ferrari 360. Both oils are very high in Zink which is great for your engine. Great video man interesting to see the results of Royal Purple. Keep it up 👍 car and garage looks 👍
Watch 1-2-3 of your videos very nice job !!!!
Thanks for the comment and support!
I use amsoil signature series in my 2015 ford escape 2.0 EcoBoost. Amazing stuff and great cleaning power!!!
Glad I changed to it seems to be doing great
Amsoil is the best
@Super Hero not every oil is perfect.. RP made my bike burn oil. back to amsoil and it stops burning. maybe for some applications but not all.
So I have this 2014 Chevy Cruze, I got it used with 68,000 miles. One of the first things I noticed when looking down into the valve cover it appeared to have varnish build. The oil it had seemed to be clean so I put 500 miles on then decided to change the oil to Royal purple 5w 30 drove it for about 2500 miles then i checked in the valve cover and walla most of that varnish was gone so I immediately went to Walmart bought another gallon of Royal purple and once again I am at 2300 miles and we'll be doing an oil change within the week this time I pull off the valve cover just see if any other improvements
I would say check out Torco oil it's been awesome for me and have had complements from my mechanic for how clean my motor was when we did my valve adjustment at 175k on my 05 RSX
On my Mercedes 250D from 1992 Mobil 1 removed even all the yellowish surface within just a few hundred km, which was attached to the area around my chain. I was pretty surprised to see this, when I added a few hundred milliliters of additional oil just after I started using it for the first time.
Nice video!! I've been using RP since about 2002 when I did my first oil change on my new 2002 honda civic ex back in the day. Changed the oil at 5k...and have been using RP ever since!! I've owned honda, ford, kia, etc...and it always left my engines in TOP shape for the next owners. lol Now, unfortunately, NO RP oil exists for my 2014 BMW f22 n20.
For about 8 years I used Castrol GTX oil for my civic. Like you someone told me about RP. I have been using RP for about a year now. I didn't take my engine apart to look at the process, but I did follow the instructions. All I can say is that RP makes my car run A LOT better compared to Castrol, so I assume it's cleaning stuff inside the engine based on how my car running and performing.
What filter you use for your civic?
You assume RP is" cleaning stuff inside" and you think because of that, it runs " A LOT " better ? Hahahaha, that is the most anecdotal thing i have ever heard !
I have a 2001 3.8l v6 mustang
Its modified but long story short
After using RP for years on my car I've been able to let it sit for years at a time and I've never had problems with it.
Proper maintenance and a small investment makes the car last forever.
I only use the RP for all my cars
Thanks for doing this video.
I put RP's high mileage oil (HMX) in my mom's daily driver (170,000 mile Toyota Sienna 1MZ). It burnt through a few quarts of Pennzoil Platinum in the last interval. Will see if High Mileage oil changes anything since it can swell up valve stem gaskets and somewhat clean out gunky piston oil rings.
So far, the oil at 100 miles is already darker than the 900 mile oil in her newer 5.7 Hemi Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Grand Cherokee only has 45,000 miles and only uses ordinary RP 5w-20.
I use Liqui Moly Molygen 5w40 in my M6 grancoupe, The oil looks like green anti freeze 😁
5W40 ... is that an HDEO? The HDEO (gas/diesel) oils are great for gentle internal cleaning of engines.
Switch from Castrol to Penzoil ultra platinum in my 2001 BMW 540i and it ran better smoother. It also has near zero evaporation loss. I won’t run anything else in my vehicles.
I’ll say it again, Royal Purple is AWESOME!
Not anymore they sold out to big corporate!
I have been using R P oil for my diesel engines for over 20 years and won't use nothing else, I also use the transmission & differental oil, I change my oil every 10,000 miles with R P instead of the 3000 mile the dealership suggest with their synthic oil.
my turbo diesel VW Jetta was getting about 45-46 miles PG hwy when I changed to RP I changed the oil after 3000 miles to get rid of the gunk from the other oil that had been used in the Jetta because I bought the car used with 20,000 miles on it, after the 2nd oil change my first road trip of 1400 miles driving at 80 mph average netted 50 mpg, that was in 2000 since then I use RP in all my toys.
I beleive this after running RP in my SE-R Spec-V, Micra and Frontier. Ive tried OTS oils and nothing felt better than RP.
Never had a problem with total purple but I try and use amsoil these days. It's just a better oil
I'm typically a Mobil 1 guy but I have to say I was always curious about Royal Purple, I think I will give it a shot at the end of winter here when I'm up for my next change and see if I notice any changes. Engines about 120K Miles so maybe I'll do a before and after.
I like it. It seems to be an excellent product! Hopefully you'll like it too!
After watching this dude video. I did my oil change Hyundai ES with RP. It's an amazing feeling, Car ticking gone and it's feel like driving new vehicle. Now I will test Motul and liqui moli but I have feeling I will stick to RP synthetic
I use to use shaffers oil. But I switched to Conklin Convoy oil. And everything runs smoother and better. I have a f250 6.0 diesel
Royal purple is like a good detox for the car 😂
Pretty much any high quality oil with clean out an engine if it's changed at about 1000 miles. The detergent package is still pretty strong then. By 3000 miles, the detergents start to lose effectiveness and the dirt starts to drop back out of solution and redeposit on the engine.
Ive never used royal purple but it looks like a great oil, we always used Valvoline synthetic vr1 racing oil 20w-50 in our racing engines we built for our street stock dirt car, you could give it a try, we ran up 5000-75000 rpm alot and never had a failure in 5 years of racing
Valvoline is great too, I use their transmission fluid
Give schaeffers oil a try. I run it in everything and I'm not disappointed. I put a new head on my 6.7 Cummins at 100k and the old one's valve train still looked new aside from black diesel oil. No deposits, nothing.
Liquimoly, got 45k on my gold and change every 3k and on changes it barley looks used. Only time it looks bad is when I did an intake cleaning.
Thanks for making time to do all the videos. We appreciate it. As far as oil filters. What do you use and how about the readers? Thanks in advance.
I use wix most of the time. Mann is another good one. They are cheap enough I just replace them anytime I’m questioning the cleanliness.
Think i will try royal purple in my 5.4 equipped f150. Has a little bit of the cam phaser rattle at startup. Switched to full synthetic valvoline high mileage and it has gotten much better. Maybe try royal purple and see if it cleans it up.more and improves even more.
I run Amsoil in my 06 F350 6.0 Diesel, I bought it used 7 years ago with 63K on it. I bullet proofed it and use it to tow. I switched to Amsoil at 68k miles. And run Archoil 9100. I noticed immediately my truck ran smoother and I had about a 100 degree drop In my egt's while towing on flat ground at 70 mph. My egt's consistently maintain 600 to 650 at 70 on flat ground. My nights gets where pulling a 16k trailer 50 mph up a 6% grade with an aggressive toe tune. My EGT's maintained 1,100 to 1,200. I did not remove my egr valve but electronically turned it off. Yes I realize it still opens and closes to a degree however its closed enough to keep EGTS substantially lower. I also run Amsoil in my 2019 Ford Explorer with the 3.5 ecoboost and noticed the motor ran smoother and had less lag. My explorer is all seat of the pants so take it with a grain of salt but I feel a difference. At any rate I am an Amspil fan boy use it my 06 F350 Diesel, 02 Jeep Warngler, 08 Mercedes 350 with 160K miles and have ran it with Amsoil since new, and My 19 Explorer.
If you truly want the benefit of Royal purple cleaning their standard product does do a good job it is a higher detergent oil then other oils but if you want the absolute best get the Royal Purple HPS Series oil. It has a higher zinc and phosphorus blend in it zinc is for coating metals in the higher phosphorus is the cleaning agent
I run Amsoil, in my last Cummins it had been ran since truck was 6 months old... well at 250k the old samples read the motor was wearing at half the rate it should be for the given mileage. That's with extended drain intervals, performance mods done, and the truck being daily driven. Amsoil also beats out RP in viscosity, lubricity, cold and burnt flow out teats.
I like the idea of Amsoil but isn't it kind of a multi level marketing company?
I've always had good luck with Royal Purple.
Thanks for the comment!
Good video.....very informative....the best video with factual information....
I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’s been a good video series
@@TenzaMotorsports My experiance has been 2 to 3 thousand....my H3 oil light goes on at 3k the oil becomes sticky and pump lets me know...the oil filter becomes clogged and my oil pump dont like dirty oil filters...no matter how good your oil is you must change the filter...engines with 60k or more miles or more get blow by creating dirty oil...a result of the soft rings in engines....keep engine in new condition...keep transmission in new condition...good driving is good for cars...
thank you for the information.
I have a Honda civic 2004, running in RP, it have 205,846 miles on it. Engine keep running smooth, you didn't even notice the car is on up to the cooling fans kick in. Great oil. 5W-20
Amsoil has done wonders for me. Gasoline engine and my Diesel engine.
These videos are great, thank you for your time, knowledge and energy you put into them! My only question is that I see other videos where people say “royal purple destroyed my engine” etc. Do you have any take on why some people will say this? That’s the only thing stopping me from switching to royal purple. It sounds incredible other than that.
I said it because people kept saying it would. It didn’t destroy my engine. As long as you buy the right weight and your engine has been maintained you should be just fine to switch.
I like the halo lights on the car dude.
Thanks! They are one of my favorite parts on the car
Try the high performance version of the Red Line Oil that stuff cleans like no other.
High Mileage synthetic oils are a cheaper option for cleaning, and are better for gaskets.
Please drive more
I would like to see 3k and 5k review
I'm considering to switch to Royal P for my 2010 mdx
Literally a different color 🤘😎
Okay, once you get this as clean as you think it will get with RP try the ATF treatment I mentioned in one of the previous comment sections. I imagine the combination of the two would really clean one up!
My only concern is leakage on an older engine once cleaned.
Wait, wait, are you suggesting putting ATF in an engine??
@@seandeterman2499 yes. Half a court about 500 miles before oil change
I've used Royal Purple's API, Hps, and now their HMX oil. Never any issues with the oil. 😎
I am trying HPS and XPR next
@@TenzaMotorsports
XPR is $$$$😉
So was my car. I guess it matches!
I used Hyperlube additive from walmart 2 oil changes in a row. i Never removed the valve cover but i swear it drives like new.
I haven’t done much research on additives. I might look into testing them
I use Pennzoil platinum platinum high mileage with a mobile 1 oil filter on my 2007 Nissan Murano with 193,625 miles I drive it hard
NFL YoungBoy 🙌🏻 also keep that transmission serviced every 30k and it'll do you right!
I keep coming across your videos some how. It's making me want to sell my civic and get a BMW lol. I kinda miss my euro car days.
Most Japanese engines have that baffle plate between the fill cap and the cams too. IDK why, but it goes back to the late 1970s at least.
The newer BMWs don’t and the 90s bmw we had didn’t have one. Idk either very odd.
Sweet car man. Love my E46.
They are great cars
Keep up the good work👍🏿👍🏿
Thanks for making this video. I change my oil with Mobil 1 Synthetic every 3500-4000 miles. Oil and cheap.
Thanks for the comment. What vehicle are you running?
Tenza Motorsports 2014 Mercedes CLA 45 AMG
I would recommend trying Schaeffer oil. I'm sure it will out perform RP
Thanks man!
I’ve used Full synthetic Castrol ,Mobile 1 , There OK but the best is Amsoil ,Royal Purple is 2nd , Pennzoil Ultra is 3rd I’ve always experimented in manual cars and you can feel the difference with each oil. It’s just as important to use for Full synthetic oil filter Amsoil and Royals purple have a metal nets in their filters Purolator boss third best.
Thanks for an informative and helpful video. I recently switched to purple from Liquid Moly on a '97 Mercedes e320 with the M104 engine, only because it was available locally. It only has 215k on it and runs perfectly, and I expect the Purple will contribute to it continuing. I wonder if you could not change the oil until he recommended mileage, but pull the filter half way and inspect it to see how much it may have pulled out of the system. Then do that again with the new filter and end of the expected usage. I remember a study by the NJ Highway patrol in the 70's in which they replaced filters at half the recommend period and doubled the mileage for the oil and found no appreciable difference in engine wear. And was rather primitive technology by today's standards.
Old timers trick was to add about 1/2 Quart transmission fluid for the last 500 miles of driving before oil changes. The detergents in the transmission fluid doesn't dilute the lubricity of the engine oil enough to affect it negatively and it really cleans the interior of the engine well with repeated treatments. I'm pretty sure royal purple uses some of the same detergent additives as transmission fluid.
Off topic, but based on the camshaft lobe profiles, it looks like the cams have very short duration numbers.
I use Valvoline the most the Valvoline SynPower full synthetic scored third behind Amsoil and Lucas oil.
Try Polytron oil! This works with a different additive compared with royal purple. The additive sticks to the wear parts and cleans also very good. Non teflon, ceramic, or moly. is available in the USA (American brand) . I drive with it for more than 100.000km in the Netherlands. I drove before with royal purple (also very good by the way) hard to get in the Netherlands. Maybe give it a try......good luck
I will put it on my list. Thanks for the comment!
