Re: anyone familiar with royal purple?
I have some customers (drag racers) that purchase it from me. I stocked it on their suggestion. They claim a VERY noticable difference in bearing life with all other things being equal.

Re: anyone familiar with royal purple?
I have no experience with it. I had a great experience with Amsoil in a 1977 Suburban I had, original 454 truck. It had Amsoil since new (original owner was an Amsoil dealer) and it never needed any engine work, except a fuel pump at 200k! I don't even recall when I got rid of it, but it was still running great!
So I kinda became an Amsoil fanboy. They have a pretty complete line and some great compelling data.I'm sure Royal Purple make good oil too. What is it you are looking to achieve or protect with the Royal Purple? |

Adam - for the BM cars I suggest Brad Penn high zinc oil. I have a local distributor in my network too and can order oil any time.

Very good brand name for high end lubricants... costly stuff

Re: anyone familiar with royal purple?
We use the 0W in the Jr Dragster, noticeably different than Mobil 1 synthetic racing oil, and it gets changed every 4 passes (~ 1/2 mile) on average. We like it, and with the rebuild cost of a single cylinder Jr engine equal to that of a SB Chevy engine - we don't mind the cost!

Great stuff, no complaints. $9.99 a quart for oil. Superior quality filter is $15. They also make Water Wetter* type radiator additive and other items. Everything I have used works great. It's even actually purple!
