I just did an oil change with royal purple...I don't ever think I'll go back to valvoline*

Any other suggestions on other fluids?











*unless I'm broke.

I dunno... it says it saves the engine, increases gas mileage, and increases horsepower...but it does run alot smoother.

And it's PURPLE!

Are you sure you can use it with the OMP? How clean does Royal Purple burn? Or do you pre-mix only?

During the recent 7stock it was said Royal Purple is safe to use in rotaries. I think it was Racing Beat that said this.

Like I said I don't know if it actually does all of that crap... but the car runs alot smoother. It even revs cleaner. Suspension is still rough tho.

I have seen on car shows on Tv, where they have tested motor oils on brand new cars, and a SS camaro gained 10rwhp with just a royal purple oil change.
