I switched to Royal Purple because I couldn't find Amzoil or Redline easily and a result I burned up both of my turbos in less than a 1,000 miles. Local turbo builder told me that my bearings actually burned up do to viscosity breakdown. I am starting to think that the oil is colored Purple so that you don't notice how fast it does breakdown and turns black.

 

Wow! Im sorry to hear about your turbo. Thanks for posting I was about to switch to Royal Purple.

 

Not sure I can trust a review from a grown man who can't spell Purple.

 

Lol I was just going to fix it. Lol not even sure how an iPhone could even let that happen! Haha

 

Why do you blame royal purple? Any facts that RP was the cause? Just curious as Ive heard people talking about spun bearings due to RP but how is it a fact??

 

I realized it when I posted this in F/I.

 

Right now it's just theory I suppose. I noticed how fast RP had seemed to breakdown and when I was told that my bearings spun out do to thermal breakdown I just put two and two together.

 

2 threads huh. Sorry I call BS. Until labs have been done and exactly all info your just like any other consumer when you Fck something up you kook for a scape goat BC your perfect.

 

RP is junk, we have known for years https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-...-and-info.html

 

+1.. these noobs

Before I bought my Z I researched and knew exactly what fluids I would use and RP was def. NOT on the list

 

I agree. Old RP was chit. I am trying hps now. Seen some good reviews on different platforms so thought I'd give it a try then send it off to lab.

 

I'm waiting to hear back from the lab.
