RP is good for 2500HP dragsters doing 4.9 second quarters.....and then guess what, they rebuild and change the oil. Its has not proven well at all to run 3-5K miles without a change.
What man whats to put anything purple in or on his car anyways!?
LMAO!
id put it in on a track day...then change back to something else once I got home....
ohh wait..its purple... I personally would never use it. I shop put it in my car and I lost about a quart in 3K miles. I didnt check it because Its allways good with Penz Plat...
go figure.

How did you guys post your results? I can attach the file but I want to edit out my info first. Cant do it in adobe. Also, since no one has done a UOA on Castrol Edge, I think I'll give it a shot even though Castrol Syntec 0w-30 has been working for me fine.

Hi all, I thought I would post my first UOA sample. I've had my built engine for ~14.5k miles. I know it will be more beneficial as I start to get regular analysis done. The engine was built by Forged Performance, been using Motul competition 15w50 for the life of the engine.

Haha. Most guys wouldn't bother but I know some guys in states with strict emissions would try. Plus it can help keep smells down. I think RCDash has cats on his setup and manages to pass NC state inspections.

First Sample on My G35. Ran Castrol Edge right up to 9k miles. 80% highway with some of those highway miles being in stop and go rush hour traffic. Very pleased with the results of this oil. Will be running to 11k next time.

^and there it is! I may have to send in my Pennzoil Ultra after I run it. I only run to 3800-4800 typically though... What do you think of the edge above Will?
