- Time has come to tear down my old engine and part it out. As I pull the engine apart I decided to show in detail what the internals look like. The engine being disassembled had spent the last 4 years racing and the last season running royal purple. And no, It didn’t ruin my engine.

Royal purple is the greatest oil I’ve used. Triple digit speeds are smooth, the oils additive package cleans up gunk and protects especially when you use a good filter. It appears to dissipate heat better than Mobil 1.
It's true, working on engines is fun, for a young man. Once the arthritis sets in, it's no fun at all.
Fish oil has been known to help with arthritis pain and joint pain
Agree with you 200% hehehe!
54 and i build mud trucks....wrench daily !!!
@@mattsez2879 Lucky bastard. 😉
Enjoy it as long as it lasts. 👍 I still wrench because, ibuprofen. 😂
Lol. I was telling my son the same thing two days ago.
This guy went through all this work just to show us how Royal Purple works on carboned engines. He seems very genuine and honest...and I don't trust anybody. You Sir have majorly gained my respect and that's a big thing to me being Italian! Thank You so much for your enthusiasm! I run Royal Purple in my car and she runs amazing. Kudos to you and Props!!!
Been using RP for all my vehicles loving the results Ive been getting. More smoothness when idle or just driving, feels like the power has been brought back to my vehicle, Ive used Castrol GTX, Mobil 1, Pennzoil & I feel like nothing has done better then RP for my 2012 Ram 5.7L Hemi. I use to have a 2001 Ford Mustang 3.8L V6 5 speed manual that I bought from a friend he only trusted Pennzoil but not after I bought it from him & gave it the RP treatment. I remember him saying it was like it was a totally different car in how it ran from when he had it. Ive been using RP since I bought the mustang back in 2010. Unless they make an RP 2.0 oil I wont be switching back ever.
I think running royal purple oil through an engine once in a while is a modern engine flush that we should all consider doing.
"Comments on oil get a little heated..."
No pun intended 😂😂
FocusFan79 this guy has a sense of humor +1 ha
Thank you for documenting this, very useful information for current and future BMW owners.
I bought a 96 suburban 5.7 with 98000 miles on it and a knock (piston slap) when cold. I started using RP and now it has 254,000 miles on it and it's quite and so smooth you can't tell it's running except for the tach. So that sold me with every other vehicle. Thanks for the video.
I tried using royal once before but switched to amsoil because the oil became super dirty quickly. Didn't dawn on me that it was cleaning the motor. Royal purple it is then lol
It says on the label to do a short interval for the first 2 oil changes. So it makes sense now
@@healthierlifestylesforyou7117 i have a 3800 with 206k miles on ,been using Castrol high mileage synthetic blend. Is it safe to switch over to this royal purple?
Massive amounts of detergents are not good for an engine. If you’re trying to clean it. Sure. But as an every oil change oil, no.
If detergents were good I would just use ATF.
@@Birdhouseboi810 Funny you say that because my dad was a master mechanic in the 70's and 80's and he always replaced one quart of oil with ATF. Never had an issue and his vehicles ran for decades. No idea if that applies to today's engines but it did back then.
@@Birdhouseboi810 old comment but this was an old trick to get rid of engine noise. Sell it and later it's someone else's problem
Awesome video. I bought (without knowing anything about Royal Purple) 57 quarts from a CL deal. It cost $250 for 19 quarts of RP transmission fluid and 38 quarts of RP 5w30, all synthetic. At nearly $10 a quart of oil and $15 a quart for trans fluid it was a steal. Been using it ever since.
I wonder what a 100,000 mile engine would look like if it only ran Purple from day one.
Completely built brand new engine using nothing but royal purple.
That would be a pretty awesome thing to see
J_RodDaBoss225 I did that with my last car traded it in with 55k on the motor. Hyundai Elantra 2014, known for Gavin filthy motors. It’s was spotless inside. Just bought a new car, plan on doing the same with it
I bought my car with 48k miles and just hit 140k, I used royal purple up until 135k. Aside from and oil leak I think from the head gasket I haven’t had any issues. Been a delivery driver and volly fire with this vehicle.
@@Savemeee3 Wondering if the leak has to do with the detergents? I think the 2nd vid here in the series mentioned a oil leak on the 500 mile break in period.
J_RodDaBoss225 I just built a 460 big block ford. Completely cleaned out by a machine shop and the only thing reused was the block, timing cover, and heads. First oil was break in oil and now I am only running royal purple. I heard somewhere that after a while it actually starts to stain the oil passages purple. Hopefully I won’t have to tear it apart and find out.
bought my little MX-3 fresh off a remilled engine . . . had 14mi on the engine and sitll running assembly oil when i got it . . . 8mo later ive got over 3K mi put on it running royal(after break in with the assembly oil ofc) and i can still wipe the oil and see beautiful steel underneath . . . if youd like ill be happy to keep track of the condition of the engine going forward . . . the entire car is running royal fluids, except the dot3 because royal doesnt make one yet
I have used royal purple synthetic for 7 years now. I used Castro synthetic but changed to royal purple. I noticed my lexus ls430 2001 ran quieter with royal purple it now has 310000 miles.
That is some really impressive mileage. I haven’t noticed any changes in engine noise but my car is very loud so it would be hard to tell.
@@TenzaMotorsports car still has original alternator and starter and engine and transmission. A couple of mechanics said I can get 500,000 miles if I keep up the maintenance.
Andrew Villanueva wow that’s awesome!
@@andrewvillanueva4222 yup, that 3uz is bulletproof!
I just run cheap ass oil from the local supermarket in my 3sfe Toyota avensis, has 343000 km (200.000mls) on it and never quits. Though seeing this makes me wonder should I or will it destroy my engine due to wear over years it probably has space in de bearings and than this could harm it more than to do any good
I run Royal Purple in all my engines. Even the mowers.
Love these videos. You actually call them Engines. 😁👍
We’ve stuck with purple synthetic for years..
Get the synthetic diff fluid too! 👍
I just seen your first video of Royal Purple and have now seen all 3 videos back to back lol
Thanks for the comment, what did you think of the videos?
Tenza Motorsports it’s really good content, i trust this way more than the “professional” tests, keep it up!
Same thing just happened to me.
I'm a mechanic... I have customers that swear by Royal Purple... I have customers that swear by Mobile one full synthetic... In my opinion whatever the customer says is the best the customer gets and I will agree with him LOL... Because you know the customer is always right
99% of all this is personal preference. Thanks for the comment!
What do you use In your car?
Great videos ..! i think this is the best way to compare and see what good some product does to your engine.. not lab tests but real driving test..!!
Appreciate the series. Nice car as well!
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Synthetic is the BEST as far as cleaning out your engine. It has by far more detergents in this oil than the competition.
We're able to take apart the penzoil ultra head and compare the cams and crankshaft and casings side by side with another similar mileage royalpurple running motor? So the thay you can factually see that it's true? Or is this just your opinion? And if it is what's your opinion based on? BTW Merry Christmas 🎄!!!!
RP keeps my 2013 Toyota Camry running strong 💪 resolved my cold start noise.
I inherited my mother's 98 Grand Am GT coupe back in '12. Only had 80k on it and it was still like new. Traveling 140 miles a day between Pa and Md for work it became my beater. Pennzoil Platinum immediately changed every 2k for first three changes. Blackstone lab sample at third change. Oil leaks riddled, then stopped. I switched to Amzoil 0w30 for winter. By 242k miles in early 2018 I decided to sell it. The V6 did not loose ANY oil in 5k mile intervals. NAPA or K&N filter always. According to final oil sample the motor showed no additional wear from beginning to end. I never drove before warmed up but, I was not easy on this car by any means. By that I'm saying... It saw 6k rpm pretty regularly maneuvering highway traffic average speeds 80-100 cruise. (Keeping up with traffic) I stayed with Pennzoil Platinum not because of price, rather the consensus by fact and lab report that Royal Purples OCI must be closer together because the additive package tends to fade faster and show wear sooner. OTOH, I've seen proof on a Modular 3v 4.6 treated to Royal Purple at 35k miles cams have no wear. As in ZERO. No silver on lobes... Nothing. Whereas another also with aftermarket cams running AMZOIL did and lobes were shiny like all cams should... so?!?
No...your BMW engine ruined the Royal Purple oil! :)
Lol. This is the most accurate comment I’ve seen all week
I put 250k hard miles on a 2002 5.3 silverado b4 it was totaled. Motor still ran like new and was very clean inside.
I currently have a 2011 Avenger that I put 195k miles on so far and still runs like new and just as clean.
Both motors had Mobil1 oil from their 1st oil change.
I was also recommended Royal Purple years ago by a friend who is a certified mechanic . Have been using it on my Hyundai Tucson since around 60k miles. Right now at almost 100k Mikes still runs quiet with zero engine problems. I haven't ripped it apart to check it myself but so far, so good.
I use RP on my Dodge Cummins Diesel and I change the oil every 10K miles. Truck motor runs super quiet and I’ve never had any issues.
Bought a brand new Buick LaCrosse when they changed in 2010,and dealer thought I was nuts showing up with Royal Purple oil and filter and having it put in a 3.6 mile car.But after 37,000+ miles and regular changes,mostly yearly since it dont do much driving,it comes out very clean.The purple color seems to go away always tho.Maybe just from heat,who knows.All I run in my 2002 T/A LS motor too.And with 45,000+ miles it looks just as clean,even had valve covers off not too long ago and it was clean inside.
I drive a 2018 Ford fiesta...and the only oil I use is royal purple 5w20 paired with a Wix filter. The oil interval is every 10000 miles, buuut I change it every 3000 to 3500 miles. Iv taken the head and oil pan off multiple times (upgraded cams,valves and springs, also the oil pan when I upgraded the oil pump to a heavier duty oil pump. I have around 6000 miles on the cams and still the lobes look brand new. I know it's not alot of miles on them but the royal purple is worth the money in my book. Some might not agree but that's what makes the motorsports scene awesome. Work with what you have and make it do what you want. Royal purple has always delivered for me.
Keep up the good work on the videos!
Thank you!
My number 1 choice is Amsoil, 2. Mobil One. Had issues with Royal Purple in my motorcycle, actually made it run hotter when it is supposed to make it run cooler.
Good videos, I love royal purple. All of their products are on another level .
Sweet ride! You got me thinking about switching to royal purple
I like RP they have been around a long time as an independent small company. Before they got bought out and marketed. My good friend did all of their temp agency needs for years. I run it my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L with a 140,000 miles and it runs like a champ.
Good job and proud of your efforts to learn about your engines.
When on sale at Pepboys Germantown, MD, royal purple costs $6 plus only! I usually I buy the gallon around $36 per.
Dam, 5gallon is $36 here in texas compared to castrol synthetic for $22
I used to run mobile 1 but noticed a build up of moisture in the motor. Could see droplets of water on the back side of the oil cap. I have since switched to other brands. Usually what's on sale depending on the brand royal purple is one of the good ones for sure.
I always ran Mobil 1 in my 370 since i bought it. I switched to Royal Purple around 30k and my oil temps are drastically lower. It used to always stay around 215 to 220 just under normal easy driving. Now however its between 200 and 205. If that dont prove how much better it is on friction and handling heat then i dont know what to tell people. I always encourage people to at least try it once and listen how quiet the engine runs and the cooler temps.
Interesting 👍
How can you tell the oil temperature?
Man. Thanks for doing all the hard work and sharing you results. You should be sponsored by R.P
Ur wired nut could also drill and tap one side with a small 10/28 and red lock tight.
Thanks for the comment! It's been a lot of fun doing these videos, I'm glad people are enjoying them. There are many ways to lock that nut into place. ECS Tuning actually hooked me up with the wired pump nut that's why I used it.
Dropped all the oil drop out of an engine with 220k miles due to a plug falling out during rush hour traffic with royal purple in it. (my fault, got side tracked and didn't tighten it) Oil pressure light came on and I had no shoulder to pull off for 6-8 miles through interchanges. It would have been a bad day for everybody else if I stopped in the middle of the lane. Thought the engine was toast because I could hear the pistons making horrible sounds by the time I could shut it down. Slightly turned it over with the starter from time to time as it cooled down. Plugged the hole in the pan on the side of the road and filled it up with whatever I could get my hands on to drive it home.
It drove but decided that night I was going to sell it before it got worse. Depending on how bad it was I'd be selling it to a greasy used car lot or if it was mostly okay I'd sell it privately with disclosure. Did a leak down test and still had less than 15% loss on the valves and rings and all cyl lined up with each other. Put magnets on everything and cut all of the filters apart for 4 x 5k oil changes without metal flakes in anything. Even looked down a the walls with a scope and saw nothing. Its basically fine so I never ended up selling it. That was about 20k miles ago and since then I've rebuilt the whole front end. Whole car drives like it did when it was brand new.
I have no idea how that engine survived and I can't really say for sure it was due to RP. But that became a bit of a data point for me personally. I put it in everything now.
I have been using Royal Purple in my vehicles for 20 years. I do think it is one of the best on the market. I build my own engines for street use and performance upgrades for over 30 years. I get my oil tested by Blackstone Labs after every oil change for my vehicles. That is the only real way to know if the oil is protecting the engine. I would also recommend Royal Purple HPS series. It has all the good anti wear and lubricant additives that are stripped out due to the EPA in the API rated oils. I also think Mobil 1 is a good alternative to Royal Purple. I have had it tested with good results. I have never used Amsoil, so no real world experience with it. However, when I started using Royal Purple, Amsoil at the time was blocking 3rd party labs from testing and publishing the results. You could only get test results directly from Amsoil. Royal Purple allowed 3rd parties to test their lubricants and publish the results. That was one thing that caused me to choose RP over Amsoil. That was many years ago so they may be different today.
Thank you for the informative comment, this is the kind of comments I was hoping to see. So far my Royal Purple experience has been great!
Bought my Silverado with 38,000 miles on it, been using Royal Purple ever since then. Now has 147,000 and the engine runs great.
What year is your vehicle?
Longtime RP user! One of the best decisions of my life... Have been advised that a RP oil, and Wix oil filter are one of the best combinations available...!
Or napa gold filter.. pretty much any filter that uses cloth and a rubber anti backflow diaphragm
Wix filters are the best filters you can run!
@@Vistal11 the napa gold filter is a wix filter.
@@SidewaysEightSix theyre not as good as toyota oem filters. ive seen both cut in half.
I used to run nothing but Mobil 1 but always knew Royal Purple was better at cleaning engine internals. This and the fact that at the time my car was a 30 year old CRXsi meant that RP, even though technically better would probably seep through the old crank seals. Now I run Amsoil on my newer car and recommend RP when looking at a gunked up internals
If you haven't tried Marvel Mystery Oil, that's a good additive to mix with any oil, especially RP!
I had non stop lifter tick in my 86 Nissan 300zx it sat 8yrs same as my non running datsun I ran sea foam in my 300zx oil and the lifters quit ticking but I didn't plan on running it through the engine often because it's like watering the oil down but I'm curious what I'll be able to see in different through the oil cap because I can see my cam
Nice video man keep it up😉
Once I bougth a old New Yorker, changed the oil, drove 100 miles and it was black, changed it again, went to 500 miles, black again, changed again..I'm guessing it looked like the ebay engine. Also, had an old 1953 packard and an old book on car care whcih said- warm engine, drop oil, run 10 weight (you could buy it on the shelf back inthe 80's, drop that and refill....after 2 min, that 10 weight was black
This was a interesting test. I don’t really have an opinion on oil at the moment. But I’d be willing to do a test once my engine rebuild is finished.
I love your garage dude and awesome content
At 175,000 and the engine looks that good that tells me whatever oil was used before had done a great job itself. I don't believe all the hype about engine oil maybe 50 years ago but oil of today is so advanced that you can't go wrong with any of it.
Started using amsoil engine flush every few oil changes and I have to admit it is cleaning the engine. Before using the flush I would go about 500 miles before the new oil would get dirty. Now it’s at least 1500 to 2k before I notice a color change. I use the same oil and same weight on every change as to be consistent. Oils do have detergents and some more than others.
What engine are you doing this in? Sounds like you have a good process!
Tenza Motorsports all GDI engines. Optima, sorento and Tahoe.
Were you having oil burning issues? My mom has a 14' Sportage and it's been using a quart every 1000 miles. The oil just gets black after a few hundred miles. I've read about these engines and they suck obviously, but I'll have to try the engine flush thing or just make her use Royal Purple. She goes to a family owned shop and they use "everest" brand oil. Never heard of it. Lol
Great video and series
Thanks!
25 years ago I started using Amsoil and their dual filter system. Worked great, but over time I switched to Mobil One because it is easier to find. If I see Amsoil, I buy it to have it. I haven’t wore out an engine yet.
Amazon and ebay have everything bro!
Just go to amsoil website. Sign up and buy bulk with free shipping and discount
i think it difers only in place, humidity, temperature something like that, and also the engine ur using, the oil pump pressure and how the oil circulate around the engine,
Been using royal purple for years now,and my engine purrs like a kitten ,not bad for a 136,000 miles motor!
By the way my engine was a lemon until Toyota fixed it, remember the burning oil 2008 rav4 engine?
I bought my wrx at 150000 miles. Previous owner used royal purple and so have i. I've put 10000 miles on it and no problems. The only thing I don't like every time I change the oil it is very dark it actually shocked me first time I changed it
It looks like the ebay engine was run with conventional oil, and probably not changed every 3k miles.
Are you using the HPF royal purple or regular? I switched to Valvoline vr1 from Royal purple.
Hey so if this oil can clean your engine so what is it doing to everything that's inside your engine that can wear down like seals?
Good video !! Thanks !! Enjoy watching it very much !!
Glad you enjoyed it
I have a 2014 Cadillac xts vsport with 41k got it 3 years ago with 17k after the warranty when out from dealer (free oil change) I switched to Royal Purple now that I do my own work on my car & love it I noticed not much burn off & when I change the oil at 20% it's still purple & I'm not having to add oil as well when I do an Italian Tune up on highway on long Road trips
Royal Purple HPS is the oil to use of you have a high performance engine. Api certified Royal Purple that you see on the shelf at Wal-Mart or auto parts stores is completely stripped of rp main additives. HPS has the synerlec additives that makes Royal Purple several layers above ANY competition including gayoil (amsoil)
both are number 5152 so tell me how anything is different at all.
@@justinthorne1919 All samples were taken from brand new, thoroughly shaken bottles of oil. And all tests were performed at ALS Tribology, formerly Staveley Labs, in Sparks, Nevada.
Royal Purple 10W30 HPS (High Performance Street)
Silicon = 7 ppm (anti-foaming agent in new oil, but in used oil, certain gasket materials and dirt can also add to this number)
Boron =
Love the honesty
I thought about a possible purchase but shipping kept me from having a bmw motor hanging on the front of the boat but now I've seen the inside of a bmw safety box nice parking space
93 SHO 5spd 279,000 miles royal purple always. 113,000 when I bought it. Cracked the subframe but it still ran great, may also be because Yamaha had a hand in the engine design
Well, yeah. If Yamaha has their fingers anywhere near a motor then you know it's gonna run like the energizer bunny.
Those SHO's are sweet sleepers. Only a few people know what's really lurking under that hood.
Yes but that engine has ford rods and became the F225&F250 outboard from Yamaha
I've used Mobil1 on my Mitsubishi last 100k and engine is clean , might consider switching to Royal Purple in my Hemi 🤔
Using Royal Purple Max Cycle for my motorcycle, been 5 years now. No isues, bike runs well from -10°C to over 40°C. Clutch and gear changes are smooth. 60 000 kms and will run for many years to come. Can't say if its the best you can get but the job gets done.
I might run it in my dirt bike this year. Happy to hear it’s been a good oil for you
@@TenzaMotorsports Was god for my 1986 Kawi 454 LTD, 2005 Suzuki Boulevard and the 2014 Bonneville. I know zilch about dirt bikes but bet its gonna be fine.
Redline to me dose the best in keeping the engine clean and great for turbos
Thats what the doctors recommend!
Another vote for Redline here.
Nice work. Thinking about trying RP Max Cycle in my Vtwin motorcycle.
Just want to mention that all synthetics are better than "dino" or dinosaur oil. Clearly, here in this video it's shown that Royal Purple kicks ass, and has a great standing with the top tier oils. It's ability to clean an engine is superior to most brands. 👍
Thanks for the vid
If your going to use royal purp also use royal purp filter and royal purp ATF also will run super smoothy
It appears to be removing lots of sludge and baked on old junk, might be wise to run RP every 2nd or 3rd oil change. Would be cool to see a brand new engine only run on RP From day 1. Would it even build up anaything?
Royal Purple is simply the best...have ran it since my cars were brand new....try running Royal Purple coolant as well...Gday from Australia.
Thanks for the comment!
Great video, deserves more subs!
Thank you! Tell your friends!
Comparing 2 engines with different or unknown maintenance records is kinda not a comparison. Every oil has different additive packages. Choosing the right oil for it's additives will net you the results you are asking from that oil.
examples:
If you need sludge and build up removal. You should choose an oil with higher levels of detergents. If you are breaking in an engine you should choose an oil with higher levels of Zinc. If you are daily driving your vehicle with moments of spirited driving. Choose a well balanced quality oil and change it at recommended intervals. If you are at the track or strip regularly, use high performance oils more resistant to thermal breakdown.
There is no miracle oil that does everything really good. The idea of using a high detergent oil to clean an (unknown maintenance schedule)high mileage engine for a short period of time is just good common sense. The oil condition gives you tons of information as to the condition of the engine. This is the 21st century. For a very small cost. You can have your oil analysed. This will tell you exactly how your oil and filter are performing. If you have bearing material, ring material, sleeve material, thermal breakdown, fuel, water, exhaust gas contamination... everything you need to know...
Relying on opinions about how oils perform in unknown conditions is just not effective. When you can get the facts from a simple oil sample when you change the oil.
I had similar results running Mobil 1 Extended Performance on my 1997 Dakota and 2003 Corolla. Valve cover was very clean. Dakota had over 100k Corolla had just under 110k.
Yes definately get rid of the Mobil...ill put up a link on an independant test done here in Australia (harsh conditions) for various oils inc Royal Purple....most of the big names like Shell, Mobil and Castrol were big fails...
I cant actually find the link...it was done a while ago...i still have a copy of it but would have to email it to you if you wanted a copy....it was actually fairly scary how bad Mobil was. I use Royal Purple in my performance car and either Valvoline or Penrite in my dailys.
Only confirming why I will be switching to Royal Purple at my next change. Thank you
regular oil change and good ole Italian tune-up and your clean as a whistle =]
Have tryed many oils in my 325i 2010 and my MKX 2011 first one I use 0w-40 second one 5w-20 or 0w-20.
First case best results Castrol Edge 0w-40 and second one Eneos 0w-20.
My go-to oil for cleaning engines and lifters has always been Rotella T6. It always blows my mind how dirty it gets the first couple of times you run it.
I enjoyed your very educational video so thank you. What was the music you had playin in the background?
The links to any music I use will be in the description!
Used royal purple 10w30 in a 2001 dodge ram 318 4x4 sport since bought new. Had @ 350,000 miles on it before a head gasket blew and I drove the truck too long wounded. Hauled loads and beat the shit out of that motor beforehand and can contest it was because of this brand of oil. Plus changed the oil every 8,000 miles.
Guess I should abuse my SRT more often so I get out all the carbon build up
It's called the Italian Tune Up
THANK YOU FOR THIS 3 PART SERIES AND ALL YOUR HARD WORK, I appreciate you! Question, could this help prevent or delay the need for a walnut blast?
Should prevent it!
Wow...that's a clean garage
I was thinking the same thing, look at that floor
too clean to tear an engine apart.
Was there any resedue in the oil pickup? Or was the resedue too fine for the pickup?
If anything is picked up by the tube it runs through the filter before going into the engine.
RP is good oil. I don’t race but I use it all our cars. Audi s8, g35, and Q50s. However I do feel that it’s as good as any other good synthetic oil. Before RP I was using castrol synthetic Gtx and I do feel that idle was a little better with castrol but rest is the same. Thousands of miles on both oils.
Looks like Royal Purple is some good stuff. I've always kept "to the books" on my vette. its from 2003 and its completely original all stock. i only run what the service manual says. which is mobil one. but im thinking this might be an upgrade. i'll give it a shot. :) thanks for all the valuable info and recording and hard work on all this! not a lot of people have the time and patience to sit there and record all this and edit everything for other people to watch.
Thank you for watching I am glad you enjoyed it!
Careful on that, because Mobile 1, and RP, have been on the top 5 of all best oils lists that I have seen... A Walmart near me has Mobil 1 under lock and key, in a case! Wacky!?!
@@TenzaMotorsports
Royal purple 10W40 is labelled as a "motorcycle & ATV" oil...
why is that ?
If a European car takes 10W40 is it ok to use RP 10W40 ?
Great job
Jesus. That's one clean garage. Mine has oil stained paper towels and leafs from trees everywhere.
Oleg S grab a broom then, maybe?
I use Castrol edge have the same effect but would be nice to try RP for fun, but have no clue where to get it in Norway tho😂
Used Royal Purple in my Typhoon and Syclone for years. I believe it’s better then the competitors. I used Mobile 1 synthetic prior thinking I was doing the right thing. It’s good stuff but.
I was just looking at Typhoons and Syclones tonight. Prices sure have jumped since last time I looked
My question is how long time wise does royal purple stay slick, I haven't changed my oil this time for over a year and a half and the oil is still slick, I dont drive much maybe about 5k within the past year and a half. Any suggestions on when I should change my oil?
Once a year or 10k miles
I tried Pennzoil ultra and it was amazing. I changed my oil last week sadly I didn’t find Pennzoil so i went for Royal purple I hope these stuff are good.
can i use xpr oil for n20 engine ?
this video series about royal purple is better than royal purple's videos about royal purple . lolz 😆 a good thing about that is you can say royal purple isn't bragging .
They don’t have to brag I guess! The product speaks for itself for the most part.
I have a 2019 dodge ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi V8. I only use amsoil. I also drive 90% freeway miles. How often is good for me to run WOT and how often is too much? I want my truck to be problem free as long as possible
Just kick it down occasionally while passing or getting on the freeway. No need to run WOT for more than several seconds a few times a week to keep the carbon blown out. If you use top tier fuel like Shell and an oil designed for turbo engines, you won't get all that carbon build up on pistons and valves. .
I was curious how the gaskets or seals held up when using Royal Purple?
All the gaskets held up fine
I've used Mobil 1 in my 2004 f150 what has 270,000 miles on it now and still runs like a champ I do get it on the highway and occasionally run it hard to burn carbon but I do know purple is a good oil to I used to use it in the past
Big fan of royal purple an i lack doing oil changes on time & believe this oil is worth the price. Once i see the oil get really dark i know its time. 280,000 4.3l chevy still going strong
What is your 4.3 in? I run Pennzoil 5w-30 high mileage full synthetic in my Astro at 182,000 miles. Oil changes every 3,000. I'm open to switching to RP even for my 3800 Buick engine. Is adding a stabilizer like Lucas a benefit with RP or is it even necessary? All the best- keep rockin' that sweet 4.3!
@@VivaLePunk1307 I have a 3800 with 206k on it. You think it's safe to switch over to royal purple after using Castrol high mileage synthetic blend??
I'm at 195k in my 4.3 hope I go that long
My oldie is a Taurus Vulcan V6 3L has 276k, and never saw other than the cheapest Valvoline whitebottle and Penzoil Yellow bottle. Every 6 -7 k miles. That's it, only cheap dino oils on it. It ran like a charm, rebuilt tranny once. Saved a bunch compared with boutique oils.
@@cmte.brazinazzo2061 Valvoline must have changed a lot. I mean a whole lot. I've seen more 2.3 liter Ford cams shot by 75,000 miles than I care to remember. They ran Valvoline 10w40 and changed oil regularly. I stopped using it just a few years prior to this and was using Havoline 10w40. I also had a car with a Ford 2.3 liter car at the time. I checked the cam at 77,000 and it looked like new. The last I knew the engine has outlasted 3 car bodies. I switched several friends over to Havoline and received no complaints.
For today's engines that use synthetic oils I use Castrol Fully Synthetic. Mobil 1 is a great engine oil as well.
Do you think an oil filter can hold all the debris and sludge that falls off your engine if someone uses this oil for the first time on their vehicle? Or do you think it might get filled pretty quick
It would get filled fairly quickly. By my testing, if your engine was absolutely filthy, i would run about 2k miles and then change it.
