Agreed. I see your point. I just forgot for a minute how to be cynical. I guess I was hoping to actually trust a company again. Anyways, thanks for your input Sub.

Re: (engineertwin2)

Royal Purple's Website claims temperature drops that are substantial, at least in their gear oil. Im not sure about the engine temp. Check out their site, they have some cool vids of Horse Power TV, TRUCKS, and a couple others using their products. Seems like they have good results to me.

Re: (kevera)

Kev- I have the 5-speed. Have you driven one? I see you have an auto. I have heard that the 5-speed gets more power to the wheels. I test drove an auto and the 5, I thought the 5-sp was a little quicker.

Also, i'm going to use royal purple's manual tranny oil in the 5-speed as well. If you go to their website you can see videos of vehicle that did a complete fluid switch to RP.

Thanks guys. I think I am going to run Royal Purple. The stuff has always had my attention, I just never knew anyone who had used the stuff. I might even try using it in my Chevelle. I will post the results as soon as I change over to Royal Purple.

Engine Oils? Dinosaur or Synthetic? Royal Purple?

Hey. Is there a thread on engine oils? I was seriously thinking about going with Royal Purple. Has anyone tried the stuff in their vibe? The Royal Purple website claims power gains from better lubrication and decreased engine noise.
