x2 and dont believe the hype about added HP cause i did my rearend and motor oil and ran the same as when i used mobil 1. i dont think 25 dollars extra is worth it cause i even went to the track the next day and ran the same from the day before

R/P looks too dirty of an oil for me to use..Looks recycled..If Castrol is good enough for John Force its good enough for me..But on Tranny fluids I use the manufacturers shit...

You want good oil run Amsoil or Leading Edge. Great stuff! Leading edge is actually based off castrol syntec.

I run no royal purple due to a buddies first hand experience. Ran his motor 1 season on mobil 1 and pulled it apart and it looked new. Ran the next season on Royal purple as he picked them up as a sponsor and his bearings looked scarred after one season!

Hell us older car guys have no use for that expensive shit. I run castrol or valvoline 10w40 and change it much more frequent. 10 to 15 bucks an oil change helps too!

last time i had a head gasket issue with my car.. coolant and oil were mixing after just a day or so of driving.. in the matter of a week I had been through 5 different synthetic oil changes... 6 quarts of RP oil and a mobil one filter... everday day or two for a week...

had tto have ended up spending at least 250 bucks in oil..

LOL all that money in high dollar oil and 4 bucks on that junky filter? LOL run a Mobil Filter or if you have an advance auto parts run their "pure one" filter. That is one of the highest micron trapping filters on the market! It beat out K&N oil filters AND was damn near even with Mobil!
