If you have a red or black call FP and ask them that way there is no question if warranty issues come up

I dont know about that new oil but the normal RP oil supposedly breaks down very quickly, I would just stick with Amsoil if you havent already

Royal Purple was one of the worst oils from what i remember in my Honda days. I bought into the hype at first until testing was done on it. Stick to the list of approved oils from FP

Apparently the HPS is actually decent. See this test for more info: http://www.svtperformance.com/forums...ps-review.html
