I looked but didn't see any other posts on this. I am turboing my D16 and a friend recomended Royal Purple oil. Has anyone used it and if so what weight oil do you recomend?

Thx,
Nick

Royal Purple is good. I've used it... pretty much the same as the Mobil 1 synthetic that I use. Just use which ever one you can get cheaper. They both do the job just fine.

nah only if your rich,that ---- is like 8$ a quart right?just use castrol 5-30

moblie 1 synthetic

Re:: :: Royal Purple :: :
 

works good and cheaper than royal purple

running royal purple in a D series is a complete waste of money. I would only run royal purple in a fully built motor made of titanium

Re:: :: Royal Purple :: :
 

even then i wouldnt, i find it to be novelty

Re:: :: Royal Purple :: :
 

^^^ its proven to be a better oil

Re:: :: Royal Purple :: :
 

hmm i will have to research that, i havent read anything to confirm this or heard of anyone running it ever actually

Re:: :: Royal Purple :: :
 

its a very good oil... just a matter of how much dough you got to spare on oil changes every 3k or so thats all.

Re:: :: Royal Purple :: :
 

if its such a good synthetic it should last longer than 3k

Re:: :: Royal Purple :: :
 

motor oil in general well last as long as you leave it in there. It doesnt mean it will do any good.

Re:: :: Royal Purple :: :
 

thats obvious im just saying even a mobil-1 is suppose to last 5-7k from what i hear, i know ive left in castrol syntec for 4500 and it wasnt broke down or to dirty, but a mobil 1 filter probably helped some which i dont usualy run

Re:: :: Royal Purple :: :
 

ive used mobil 1 and redline but didnt notice a difference between them both so i'd say go for the cheapest 1 ;)

i also heard that certain types of royal purple has to be run with gapless ringas. im not to sure what gapless rings mean, but i guess the oil is prety thin and gets passed the rings somehow unless there used

Re:: :: Royal Purple :: :
 

gapless rings I think are those total seal rings you can buy. Someone correct me if Im wrong.
