You cannot say negative WITHOUT a good reason. I have used it in my 87 Z, 05 350 and 07 350 without any incidents.

RP does not outperform most oils out there. www.bobistheoilguy.com do some research.


OP, awesome car! Get to see it in Silver finally and it looks great! I agree with others though that your front is higher than the rear. You might want to check the springs to see if they still have the shipping spacers on them in the front. Black plastic spacers between the coils.

Nice 370.

Royal Purple has been shown to not be a great oil through oil analysis tests.


I used to be loyal to Mobil1, but found out that Mobil1 even wore more than others. Switching to Castrol Syntec my next oil change.

You were right. Put the car on a lift to change oil and the first thing we see are big black ugly spacers setting in the beautiful red springs. Dealer claims that the port is supposed to take them off and it is not on their setup checklist. They thanked me and I told them they owe me at least a GOOD Nismo hat or a car cover that will fit the Nismo.

We will see.

When you get them taken off, retake the pictures so we can see how it sits.

Well, it really didn't look bad (at least not 4x4 bad). Not to mention the car will lower even more after the springs settle.
