    ^^ you wiill feel the difference outta the box. And if you've ever seen a RP only block come apart and how clean they are you will never use anything else.

    I could say that about several brands. I have seen plenty of motors come apart with very clean internals and none of them had Royal Purple in them. I understand that you like it but I have seen plenty. As a matter of fact I pulled a motor apart last week with over 100 hard passes on it and 30k daily driven and it was as clean as it was new. That oil just happened to be Castrol GTX.

    I know it use to be but I was under the impression that this was changed early this year? Maybe not but either way I will keep using it since it has proven itself just fine here.

    Mobil1 user...

    I bought my car with exactly 60K on the ticker and swapped the oil...I'm right at 270K with no oil comsuption. I pour in 5 qrts and get back 4 after 3K miles. I do NOT baby this car. Ask my brother...

    I also use Lucas Syn Stabilizer Additive.

    I know a guy from another forum that pulled his LT1 heads at 125K to rebuild his engine...needless to say, the engine still had its cylinder honing from the factory. Basically, the engine was still breaking in! Another Mobil1 user.

    Bob the oil guy has good material when it comes to oils, filters and additives...its where I would start.

    From what I understand, the best combo is Mobil1 + Mobil1 Filter or K&N filter (they are the same).

    I used to run mobil 1. now i just use napa shit bc i get it free. When i start buying oil id like to try that shit that bizimoto came up with. cant remember the name of it but i used it to lube my bearing when i assembled my engine and i liked it.

    Royal purple is not good for high milage engine. my friend put it inhis prelude and it started smoking. i think bc when it gets hot its viscoity drops too low and u get blow-by. u get power gains bc it doesnt bond to anything is my theory.

    If u want to clean ur engine, just drop ur oil level one quart and replace it with trans fulid. Shit comes out blanging. Old master tech trick i learned from my professor.
