Royal Purple ? Questioni ~
what kind royal purple engine oil are you using ..
High Performance Racing or Multi-grade motor oil ?
( racing 21 ? ) or just regular 10w-30?
what's the different after you change ?
I went to shop for oil change, i brought my own, but when they were going to add into the engine, they asked me " this is not fully synethetic, are you sure you want to use it" ... but i ended up using the royal purple multi-grade motor oil 10w-30 ..
Is it fully synthetic? cause on the bottle, just show " with synertec" and synthetic oil..
thanks

RP is good, i havent heard good things about their normal oil because it brakes down faster but their racing oils are good.
i used their racing oil in my other car with no problem, it had added stuff to protec the engine under hard use.

I go with the non-racing version myself. I need all of the protection that the pure synthetic motor oil provides, my car is not a daily driver and I only put some weekend miles on it, thus oil changes only come once in a while.

As far as the special dealers comment; I don't think I would agree with that. I would think widespread distribution/sales channels would be simething any manufacturer would want, assuming they have the production capacity, think they can set an acceptable price point, etc. I'm not saying anything negative about the merits of redline, I plan to give it a go at some point myself, but accessibility just isn't a factor I would consider in buying a motor oil.
