What engine oil are ya'll using?
 
I've been using Royal Purple 10-30 these past oil changes. A guy with an evo said royal purple has newer additives and he would prefer not to use it. I dont know if he heard something about it, but now he has me thinking. What do you guys think?

I've never seen that oil. Is it synthetic?
Did some quick research on ^ oil, and now I want to try it out

Everybody is going to have their own opinion on what oil is the "Best". When I selected an oil I just looked at the testing FP did, http://store.forcedperformance.net/m...otor%20Oil.pdf . I personally decided to go with Brad Penn because its made locally, its always in stock at a shop near my house, and its relatively low priced.

Id recommend ths too, actually.... but I use rotella 15w-40 for daily and racing.. I use that because I can't afford amsoil or bradpenn with as much as I drive. Hahah

Mobil 1 10-30 HM

140k+ and going strong

EvoVIII_03 Jan 24, 2012 01:21 PM

Thanks for all your inputs guys{thumbup}
So does this mean that no one preffers to use Royal Purple?
I don't really have a problem (money wise) buying this oil.
Does no one use it because its expensive or because its no good?

I ran Royal purple 1 time in mine. After about 1,500, I had a lifter ticking. When I changed it out, it was extremely thick, which I'm not really a fan of. I switched to Amsoil 10w-40 and I love it!
