Damn it Just ordered 6 quarts of royal purple in 20W50! Will I have any trouble? No negative side effects?

MOST OF THE PARTICULARS HAVE ALREADY BEEN POSTED.. oops caps..



Anyway the "top 3" Redline, Amsoil, and Royal Purple , have proven excellant over the years.



I run 10/40 redline in My track ready, sorta streeet legal 89 GTUs NA.

No problems. Have used redline in racing and street application, Piston, rotary, air cooled and track bikes. Lots of success stories. But any of the above are great. I like the Redline support of grassroots racing, also.

i'll add some personal experiences....



synthetics: new engine, run with mobil 1, @8k miles the oil control o rings were really swollen... engine came apart due to an apex seal failure. went back together, and has run on mineral oils. been fine for the last 4-5 years....



viscosity: we use 5-20 at work, so thats what everything has in it, including the rx8, these have all been fine at the track.....
