Did u used 5w30?
Honestly i just do what you do as well go with manufacturers specifications, my BMW uses LL-04 spec so i use the pennzoil Euro L 5w-30. But for my 22 year old nissan pathfinder i use the old-school trick of half a quart of ATF with a MOBIL-1 full synthetic every 3000 and adding the ATF every 2nd oil change
Rick Moises Do not put ATF in your engine!No manufacturer recommends this.It is not made to go in your engine.
@@chief1972 it helps I have done this on two different vehicles over the past 20 years if you change your oil about 3 weeks after running Atf it will help with several different components in your engine but hey every body has different opinions on this matter so I say do what makes you happy
Chief 1 you need to calm down because you are acting like i put 5 quarts of ATF into my engine. my engine oil is 3.8 qts of mobil-1 5w-30 and 0.5 qts of ATF every other oil change. My lifters in my pathfinder has been ticking for a year and my oil changes has always been at 2500-3000 miles with mobil-1 extended high mileage. Plus my pathfinder is 22 years old and barely about to pass 185k miles. As a former engine technician at a Chevy dealer i don’t think 0.5 quarts is going to be an issue as long as the viscosity isn’t altered severly
What I learned from the comments...every motor oil on the market is the best motor oil ever.
Agreed, with one disclaimer that: "Even if you DO use the exact same oil as me . . . MY oil is still better than YOUR oil."
Gallopin' Galumphus no MY oil is better than YOURS
I just keep my oil changed with whatever name brand but I have an old Car
O. It's a Snake oil.
@@Dtt4 my snake needs oil...lol..
The best oil is called "changed at the right time oil". Change my mind.
James Heracious TRUTH!!!
There is good oil and bad oil. Some oil has more addatives for cleaning, or wear, or longevity. Other oils will have more stabil viscosity, or higher protection in hot environments.
More then that, it is hard to know when it is the "right time" to change the oil. Does your car have weak rings? You might change the acidity of the oil early. Does it have hot spots (caugh, dodge, cough), then you may need heat protection and cleaning.
Change your oil
Alright get the dollar store brand and see how that works out for you. Then change my mind.
Soooo true
Royal Purple really is that good. I'm an automotive engineer and I was once responsible for getting a 300hp, 6.7L diesel engine to survive when it was cranked up to 550hp. We needed to do a lot of performance tuning but the problem was we couldn't get an engine to last long enough to get any really good data. We could only get an engine to last about 7 minutes at full power before it would throw a rod. Literally the only thing I did was swap out our stock (Valvoline) mineral-based oil with Royal Purple full synthetic. With that change alone I could get the engine to last over 500hrs at full power! Once we got the tuning dialed in it was my job to make all the necessary mechanical changes to get the engine to survive on "stock" oil. Those changes included changing the piston crown geometry, injector spray angles, piston cooling chamber geography, piston cooling nozzle targeting, oil cooler construction, redoing the oil filter lines, changing to a ceramic coating on the piston top ring, adding a phosphate coating to the piston skirts, and improving engine cooling, among other things. All to get the engine to survive on stock oil when Royal Purple was good enough by itself without those changes! That stuff is crazy good!!
Did you try other synthetic oils as a comparison to RP ? If not, you have no idea if RP is the best or not.
What did you go to school for?
I 100% dont believe any of this. Try any other syn oils? Full of it.
But can u use it in an older vehicle like an old skool car
Hmmmmm this needs to be tested by project farm someway. “Which engine oil has the best sludge cleaning properties” this way we know whos truly the best for the price.
Ill put it in a 1943 farmall bn and ill let you know by next season if you comment back on here. Its a rough use tractor, used for logging and such it surely gets used.
I'm sure they already tested Royal Purple go there look
It has been tested by him and it’s been proven that Mobil 1 has the best properties and royal purple is mediocre at best
He's got one
AMSOIL stomped every other brand in the end.
My two cents on Royal purple.... I run Royal Purple in my TDI diesel, that I purchased with 163000 miles on the odometer. Just from looking in the valve cover, I could see that the top end was black and had some noticeable carbon buildup on the head and between the cam lobes. The original owner had always used Castrol gtx on 3000 mile change intervals. I changed the oil just a couple days after getting the car home, switching to Royal Purple HPS, basically for its increased detergent and lubricant properties. I planned to extend my change intervals to counter the increased cost of the oil. After two changes, and sending a used oil sample in for analysis each time, I have noticed that the inside of the valve cover on my engine is now virtually spotless, along with the cam lobes. Also, the lab that analyzed my oil has said that the oil is capable of safely going over 15000 miles without any negative effects on its lubrication properties. Analysis has proven that my filter also is working well at 15000. So after doing this research on my own, I feel that Royal Purple is proving to be well worth the money. Also, the 3000 mile oil change doesn’t apply to today’s high quality oils. This is my experience... I suggest everyone use your own judgment in your situation.
What oil filter brand did you use?
I’ve been using Royal purple for the longest time and I’ve notice and improvement with them the first month. My engine was running smoother and it just seems healthier then I ever was.
This can happen if you’re over due for an oil change
I recommend not using royal purple for extended periods of time. It is good to run it every now and then. Although the detergents are very harsh and can deteriorate your seals.
@@bassin_the_mitten5477 WRONG
@@bassin_the_mitten5477 That’s all I’ve used for years and it cleaned the top of my motor and made my vehicles run smoother I will never use anything but RP again
@@bassin_the_mitten5477 you mean sludge sand blasting the seals .. if it starts leaking then it was the sludge keeping it sealed
The cleanest engine I have ever had the valve cover off of was my Dad'a 3FE in his '90 Toyota LandCruiser. He is religious about changing the oil with Castrol 10w30 synthetic blend every 6 mo or 3000mi. His valvetrain was spotless. I dont think it's the oil brand so much as the maintenance routine.
I've heard a lot of great things from that brand. I keep buying my cars used. So for the 10 years of use before me, i have no idea how they were maintained. I find myself playing catch up and doing reactive maintenance.
@@TenzaMotorsports Yeah me too. I dont think I would buy new because of the depreciation. Have had so many heaps over the years man and had to do catch up maintenance and expensive repairs when i needed cash the most. I think I finally have a good method of picking used cars - that is never more than 100k mi and try to look at as many as possible.
If you read online, you can find some info on film strength and additive packages and etc that may be useful to you. I found out about Driven oil for my flat tappet Ford that way.
I had a buddy who built high performance cars/engines. He ran royal purple through one and has never looked back. He said when he tore the engine down it looked brand new. Swears by it.
Maintenance is one thing quality oil is another. Castrol is great for common cars. Royal purple is a great cleaner on top of high quality oil. Great oil to put into an old vehicle to clean the valve train.
You hit the nail in the head, change oil and filter every 3000 miles and even with the cheapest synthetic oil you will get perfect results
I’ve run it in my Astro van for a long time. I change it once in spring after the cold weather has come and gone and once in the fall after the hot weather has gone. It has 245,000 miles on it. No issues whatsoever.
I've used royal purple to clean and oil my guns for years and I believe there is a difference in the quality when it comes to its cleaning abilities. I've seen it strip burnt cruddy substances that other products just can't as easily.
I have used Castrol synthetic for many years in my trucks and my car it has always been great for me. The reason i liked it is because when i first used it in my 75' Plymouth Duster and i was amazed at how good it was. My brother took it for a drive and was missing a plug in the engine to give it oil pressure. So it ran on low oil pressure for a good 10 min. or more. Back in '96. And it's still running great today. The other reason i like Castrol is that i had put it in my '96 Dodge Dakota at about 120 000 km. It had noisy lifters and after i had put it in it ran smooth and it cleared up the noisy lifters. And it's still going today even after my brother inlaw bought it in 2011. And i think it has over 400,000 km on it now. So i think no matter what synthetic oil you buy it is going to be good for for your engine.
I always use royal purple I found it made my engine run smoother
There are actually differences in oils. Pennsylvania oils (Pennzoil, Quaker State) are paraffin based oils, unlike Valvoline or Mobil which are based on western/midwestern crude. It is important to change the oil in your cars engine on a timely basis; oil doesn't break down, it gets dirty. Keeping clean oil will extend the life of your engine much further than using additives. All that having been said, there are good products on the market to help clean the workings of the engine, and Royal Purple is one of them. They're not necessary for every oil change, but they are healthy for your engine from time to time. Don't just poo-poo this young man's test. As mentioned in the body of the (mostly useless) comments, he DID at least tear the engine down to see if the Royal Purple helped, and the majority of those responding wouldn't have a clue how to even START a project like that. So, take those comments with a spoonful of salt, not just a grain.
Nice video, and good for you for posting it.
However, synthetic Pennzoil isn’t made from Crude at all. It’s derived from methane in natural gas, so the oil is pure and uniform in molecular structure
Also.. oil DOES break down. Antioxidants break down, Viscosity Index Improvers shear down, ZDDP eventually uses up... etc...
@@ezrawaters6653 that's only pennzoil ultra platinum. Look it up.
Quaker state is now owned by royal dutch shell.
Royal purple oil isn't a cleaner. It's an oil.
I used mobile 1 on a car with after market turbo kit, after 140k miles my engine was clean like that also, no sludge. Synthetic oils are must.
Master Yoda It’s what they claim: running like new! I love it.
The thing is is mobile one is really good but are you willing to pay twice as much for royal purple I know it’s probably the best but who’s one in the pay that much when you can buy a mobile one at O’Reilly’s for like A gallon 35 bucks.Or 5 quarts
Mobil at one time ruined engines. Big class action suit. I said one time they did studies and found out this had been going on for years. Personally I stay away from it.
I bought a 1962 Studebaker Hawk in about 1976. I pulled the valve covers to adjust the valves, and there was some grunge, but not bad. I started using Chevron Delo 400 oil, and it started to burn oil later. I took the valve covers off, and everything was absolutely CLEAN. That diesel truck oil did a wonderful job of cleaning everything it touched.
My 4.0 Jeep ran great on Royal Purple. It had 130k when I got the Jeep. When I traded it in it had over 240k on the odometer. The Engine was pristine and after numerous cross country trips and off-road adventures the only I never had issue with was the engine. After the first oil change to Royal Purple, my fuel economy was 19 or higher. My Jeep was lifted and had 33's.
What year was your jeep
@@jaymanuelraida29The 4.0 i-6 was used from 1987 through 2006. I believe it was in the Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Comanche, Wrangler and the Wagoneer.
I've put royal purple in my push mower and have yet since changed it. That's was its 1st oil change in 9 years and I did that oil change 3 yrs ago.
I had to do my oil twice because it actually cleaned out my engine the first time. The second change it ran amazing and beautiful. Didn't have to worry about it being dirty after. It works great for me
I have a 3.6 chevy engine with VVT and Direct Injection. Did timing on it and when i pulled out the vvt solinoids they were caked with gunk. Im suspecting thats why timing went bad, because the sludge got into vvt solinoids and the phasers and the tensioners. I installed brand new vvt solinoids to prevent the old ones clogging up. New timing kit as well with new tensioners. Not a cheap kit, bought high quality. My theory is to run a thinner oil such as 5w20 or something that flows faster to unclogg it. 5w30 is whats recommended. In theory a thinner oil that flows faster will more likely unclogg those screens inside the engine rather than using a thicker oil. Im scared to use a engine cleaner or flusher because if you know about the Hi-feature V6 3.6 they have a poor head gasket design. Im scared that the cleaner will make it worse and damage the engine. I want to run royal purple like you said, pour it in and let it clean out the engine and then do another oil change with new filter, how long did u run RP in your engine before you changed it? Also, my engine is probably filled with so much gunk so I might want to do like a hundred miles or something like that, maybe do 3 RP oil changed or something. Just want to be safe and not damage anything. Whats your take?
@@BenefitExploits you can always slowly buildup. First oil change 1 qrt RP 4-5 qrts whatever. Then second oil change, 2 Qrts RP AND 3-4 QRTS whatever and increase RP until that's all you use. Seems rational to me
I have tons of respect for one particular mechanic that's been turning wrenches professionally for almost sixty years and he has nothing but great things to say about Royal Purple but also states the obvious use the recommended oil and filter by the manufacturer and change it per their recommendations. I have am getting ready to change the oil in my F150 that has 230K miles and runs excellent but has been well maintained but thought I would try royal purple for the first time. My engine is clean already but thought why not give it a try on an older truck.
After 156k miles on my 97 GMC Sierra the cylinder walls still have the crosshatching in them from when the block was machined. Love it, always used it in all my cars always.
I love Royal purple I run it in all my rigs they just seem to run better with it haven't turned back since
Yes it is true, this is the best oil you can get. I use it on my BMW Z3
I pull out the valve cover to replace the gasket, I had to stop and look
at the Engine, of how clean it was, just nice and very clean inside.
Great oil! I used it on my old 1999 Ford Probe. Never had an issue. I recommend it!
Phenomenal.
I used it in my 2005 5.4L f-150. Started using RP at 50k. Changed oil every 7-8k. Engine had 300k on it until the general repairs (notengine), became too costly for the value of the truck. Coil packs and felonious spark plugs become costly in a FORD.
The oil was the best.
I always ran this oil in my race engine and I have to say motor was always clean.
I have used royal purple synthetic for several years in my lexus ls430 2001. I had used Castro synthetic before. I switched and I noticed my engine running smoother and it was quieter. I will always use royal purple synthetic.
I’ve noticed the same. It’s very impressive. I just pull that older motor all the way apart and it’s so clean.
Used it in my car for quite some time. Changed the valve cover gaskets and noticed the same too. It was clean with 114K on a 4.6 modular V8. Runs strong, no smoke for a 20 year old car. American Muscle recommended 5W30 for my baby. Been doing it ever since. Love RP
I have used this oil for 15 years, and revved the heck out of my engine. The engine has 200,000 miles. Recently, the engine was being rebuilt to change internal components for higher performance. When the heads and timing chains were taken off, a 200,000 mile internals looked like the engine had no more than 120,000 miles. The engine was so clean internally that it was unbelievable what we were seeing. The cross-hatches that the engine came with from factory were still very visible after 200,000 miles. This is the level of protection Royal Purple provided while cleaning the internals of the engine.

As mitch hedburg once said
"To hell with purple people"
Too funny I remember that
thegreatwhitenorth Best oil on the market.
@@3finger10 it's pretty cool because it's purple.
Haha I thought that was just the name.
Didnt taste like grape juice though.
@@MrTheHillfolk lmbo
I agree, if using this to clean an engine make sure the oil is changed again soon. Good in that it removes sludgy deposits but this will then be in the sump.
I used RP in 3 engines and loved it. Ran DRIVEN DI oil in my WRX and kinda thought even higher of it
I use RP in my rotary engine as well and i am currently using RP in my diesel truck engine, front and rear differential, gear box and transfercase.Excellent performance and u dont have to use engine flush. RP for me all d way.
I don’t know what it did to your engine, but it looks like it fixed the flash on your camera!
Haha😂😂 for reals
There’s a flash on the entire time. You can see...if you look better he runs an extra light on the cleaner head.
A true reading of an oil’s performance is a used oil analysis.
Spot on, analysis is cheap and accurate, full chemical breakdown of all metals and substances at particulate count and size provided.
@@stevienico452 how does that work, and where you buy the oil report?
Actually the only real true reading is how long the engine lasts...
True but if the first couple of oil changes may not be an inaccurate indication due to it cleaning the old sludge out.
@@BMW323ciDriver Send it to the DNC, they're great at creating reports. Lol
I've used it for years, it's a great oil, but I would only recommend it to people that know the history of the engine if it's super old. I lost a 200k engine to royal purple, and it's because it cleaned out the sludge that held the engine together
That makes sense. Well since mine is basically clean out, Except the dirty head, I should be ok to run it.
Makes complete sense.
The sludge doesnt hold anything together lol
It fills all the cracks in all your rubber seals. Then when the royal purple cleans it all out. It exposes all the cracks and gaps in the seals and you get oil leaks. Blow by. Oil consuption etc. Etc...
If it has high miles and wasnt taken care of very well.. Just stick to your 5w30 and drive it till it dies..its lasted this long with normal oil being dirty. It will be fine
This is true. My old small block Chevy can attest to that!
Are you trying to tell me tour engine was held together by sludge!?! Wow!!! My engine is a tornado held together by bolts and nuts made with the 2 hands of Hercules after he conquered the Red coats
I’m exited to see the next one!!!
That makes two of us!
First time removing my valve cover on my 2002 toyota celica after 350k miles, all cams and shafts are as clean as silver spoon. Oil change every 3000 miles using valvoline full synthetic. Now has 385k miles and running like a clock.
Awesome. My three Toyota trucks get 2.5k oil changes using the same stuff.
The detergent may clean the dark residue off, but it also has a detrimental effect on the lubricating properties of your oil...Which causes engine wear...Speaking as an Engineer of course...You believe what you want to believe, but "clean" does not automatically mean good.
I was wondering if that might not be the case...that was a little too spotless for my taste. Lubricants tend to work better when they're actually in contact with the surface of what you want slippery...
Agreed
Maybe you mean clean is good, but a cleaner may not necessarily be good.
I would think that the engineers who designed it did so as a clean engine? I just ripped apart a vk56 and it was disgusting, we cleaned every inch of that engine by hand, and now it runs amazing. Lol do you know how much that cost to do if you dont do it yourself? I think the royal purple is worth the try.
So should I use Castrol or royal purple
I had drove over 1,000 miles from NM and when I touched down in IA I realize I went thru there driving another 300 miles remaining. with a blown head gasket. Supertech held well with all those amounts of abusive temperatures! My temperature gauge was a hair off the Red zone.
Definitely works! YES it cleans your engine!
Project farm did a really cool synthetic oil comparison. Amsoil won it and Pennzoil ultra platinum was a close 2nd.
@bodd boward same
Testing was unfair in a way. He matched up Amsoil's best oil up against Royal Purples lowest tier oil.
@@pablochavez9087 yea I was saying the same thing , what if pennzoil went up against amsoil first and RP was on the other side of the playoff bracket then RP would've finished 2nd
I hope this helps you.. I was introduced to Royal Purple around 1999/2000.. Here's the good part, though I started with a fresh eng here are my findings..
I am heavily into the sand dunes and at the time was running a 2442 VW turbo efi engine that I built myself with a lot of good parts..My test started this way, after 1st breaking in the cam for about 15 min @ 2000 rpm on 30 wt crap oil and changing..Another round of 30 wt crap oil for about 10 gallons of 110 race gas..As I felt the eng get more responsive I changed the oil again as the rings had seated.. Now for the fun part..
20/50 Royal Purple street oil not race oil and when I did this test they didn't offer their high zinc formula.. I ran my sand car for 2 seasons at Glamis Sand Dunes in California, approximately 6 - 3 day trips per season with approximately 120 + hrs of run time per season under boost conditions.. Every couple of trips I would change the oil filter and top off the oil but never changed the oil in it for 2 seasons...At the end of the 2nd season I tore down the engine for inspection..I took an oil sample and sent it out for analysis.. The long and short of the test.. Normal no excessive wear.. Here's the fun part as I have never seen this until this engine came apart on any engine I've built in the past until Royal Purple entered the scene.. 100% polished bearings..I never seen a polished bearing in my life til that day..Plenty of worn bearings, copper bearings, etc..
From that point on I became a distributor for Royal Purple but I was ahead of my time as it was big on the east coast and mid west but not in Ca.. I can say their assembly lube Maxx Tuff is amazing stuff..Super sticky and stays where you put it.. Also there gear oils are amazing.. My newest sand car runs a quad cam turbo subi with a Mendeola gearbox and I was recommended to run a 85/140 gear oil of a different manufacturer, but being under the spell of Royal Purple I found the RP 85/140 was too thick and didn't shift right, so I stepped down to RP 75/140.. Transaxle shifts as smooth as butter.. The early Mendeola gear boxes had a problem with the main shaft bearing failure and bad pitting of the ring & pinion..3 seasons of 75/140 RP with 0 pitting of gears and main shaft bearing not making noise like they are know for and they are obnoxiously loud when they go bad.. Mendeola said I could have gotten another year out of the gearbox before service was needed.. I have a friend that was also into VW's.. He had a hydralic lifter 2276 air cooled VW in his buggy and had to run 50wt oil to get his lifters to pump up.. I couldn't get him to switch to 20/50, but he did try 50wt RP and for the 1st time ever not only did his lifters stay pumped up they were dead quiet and so was his engine even with open exhaust header.. He said his motor has never been so quiet.. Another satisfied customer.. Also I have a Samurai I use for rock crawling, RP20/50 in the eng as it is wore out, RP 75/90 in trans & t case & front and rear diffs.. The sami is a 94 which I took custody of in 2004 and have run RP in it since.. No failures with RP..Lots of broken parts due to extreme gearing but not oils fault.. Closing note, Samurai had a leaky t case boot and the t case filled with water along with RP 75/90..I had a friend rebuild it for me and change to a lower gear set..When he drained the oil he couldn't believe how much water came out and thought for sure it would be full of rust.. To his surprise 0 rust.. RP has amazing rust prohibitors in there oils.. Now he got to see 1st hand what I saw 19 yrs ago..RP is an amazing product.. I have a friend that sells Amsoil, he can keep it.. I'm in it for the long run with RP.. Have seen too many good things come out of it..
Hope this helps you & check your bearings to see if they are polished like mine were..
Respectfully,
Mark Geletzke
I took a miata diff apart that was running purple. It was super clean. I put in Lucas and man it just didn't feel the same. Only 100 miles on the Lucas I'm thinking about taking it out 😂
I too have used royal purple in my bug and I beat the snot out of it, even high oil temps(270ish) and no problems:)
Polished bearings are a bad sign bud. That means there is friction and I bet if u checked your filter there would be metal deposits. Your bearings should have a matte finish.
I use the hps in the old vw idi diesel , I don't have a microscope to check bearing wear or an oil analysis lab in my back pocket but it has a cool purple color and I like that.
Their gun oil is also great
I use Royal Purple EXCLUSIVELY on my channel! Long story short, buddy lost a drain plug on bike. Bike wasn’t worth towing. He went full send drove it home 20-30 mins. Got a new drain plug and fresh royal purple. Drove it for another season and a half sold it. More than enough to convince me to use it for myself, customers and builds.
I use full synthetic 5w30 Mobil 1 with a quart of Lucas synthetic oil stabilizer with a Mobil 1 oil filter on my 2005 wrx. I change my oil every 3500 miles and it always comes out clean!
Royal Purple eats engine seals long term. I used to be the lead engineer for a company that designed high end lubrication systems. We performed long term destructive run testing on a permanent basis with all the major oil brands. Royal Purple was the only oil that would void our warranty. Don’t believe me? Ask Federal-Mogul what they say about it.
I've have a bad experience with RP (a ton of variables though), but I don't shit talk the product that so many seem to really like. I'll never use personally just because it was the last change before the engine went boom so I just avoid it for not entirely scientific or logical reasons. I'm always interested when I see someone else that has a similar distrust as well. Thanks for sharing.

Love royal purple.run it in my harley, and my 2012 jku wrangler. Use to run it in my daughters Jr dragster. Stuff really works
Royal Purple is great oil I used to use it in my racing vehicles two wheels or four wheels I believe it's what separates the difference between winning and losing
I've always run Royal Purple since the late 90s... except in my BMWs. They're leases, BMW pays for the oil changes, I don't care. In anything I gotta pay for though, Royal Purple is going in.
Synthetic oil is synthetic oil you moron.
Deff worth the money ..noticed when in my cars ran so much smoother
I use 5W-40 synthetic diesel oil or European synthetic 0W-40 in my cars that don’t require a really low viscosity like 0W-20
That’s actually pretty cool
In my 87 rx7 had a vast improvement how quickly revs would traverse 7k to 8k. Back in 2001 or 2002, before they made engine oil, we used royal purple in thrust chambers for horizontal pumping systems
I honestly prefer mobil 1.. my engine has always been super clean, it's at 240k miles, and it cleans super well
Mobil 1 nowadays does not have the same quality as before. Castrol or Motul are a much better option...
I prefer Mobil 1 super syn full synthetic oil hands down.
André 25 Bullshit! Same formulation they have used since 1973.
I had a 2010 Scion xB that started consuming oil when I switched it to Mobil1. It used about 3 quarts before the 5k oil change. I started taking it to the Toyota dealership and they switched it to their semi-synthetic and the consumption stopped. Some engines don’t like Mobil1. I should also add that there is a recall on the 2006-11 Toyota 2.4 engine for possible oil consumption. If it uses 1 quart per 1200 miles, they change the pistons. Toyota has increased the engine warranty. Mine uses 1qt every 5k miles. Acceptable for an engine with over 100k miles on it.
Hugh G. Rekshin Actually, it’s not. It was changed several years ago. As an Exxon-Mobil shareholder, I’d like nothing more than for people to use their products. That said, I cannot recommend them. I don’t use their lubricants or their gas in my vehicles. There’s better out there, for the same price or less. Royal purple lubricants and Amoco Ultimate gas are for the vehicles I own. The leases get whatever the dealers put in them and usually Wawa or Shell gas, whichever is cheaper.
If you use a good synthetic and change it every 3 to 4 k miles you won't have a sludge problem. Royal purple is an excellent oil.
You can go 5K on full synthetic with no problem. I just replaced the cam cover gaskets on my Ford 4.6 2V that has 165,000 miles and the inside of the engine looked like an engine with only 60K on it. I change my oil every 6 months (regardless of miles) and have done that since it was new. No sludge and just barely any tarnish to the metal.
@@j.t.cooper2963 I have the same motor in my 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis. It has 103k miles on it. Do you recommend this oil?
damn that looks clean af
My only thing to say at almost 40 years old. The guy I brought factory rebuilt BBC heads from claimed 1 oil change per year with AMS oil per year at 15000 miles. His dad did 2. These were in 2012 or newer chevy 1500's. And he was a dealer as well with Hoosier tires. Yet, its a racing family soo....??? The other story was second ✋. A father of a friend if a friend who I eventually met. Dad ran slick 50 as an additive then only ran that in his van. When the engine seized you could dam near eat off the bottom end of the block!!!!! I LOVE WILD STORIES!!!!!!
0:55 Manufacturer recommended oil is just that: the brand of oil manufacturers make deals with when their new engines leave the factory. Not necessarily the best oil on the market, but the best financial deal for the car manufacturer. Could be Shell oil today, Castrol oil tomorrow...
I’ve looked into quite a few brands of oils with Blackstone Oil Lab reports to see what to run in a brand new 4Runner and chose the genuine Toyota 0W-20 for its high Molybdenum content and other carrying agents.
Following a routine oil change interval will net you better results rather than relying on just the oil to last and going longer which will slowly create buildup
If I was going for absolute performance I would be looking into what temperature thresholds and properties I need to work within and etc to be the deciding factor.
Wrong.
Yep, I remember when GM use to use Mobil1 oil caps
@DESTROY white supremacy BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY not really the case for any product, you can test it with a particular product but that doesn’t mean the user is going to use it exactly the way you tested it. So your testing is now meaningless.
Weight doesn’t exist, neither does NOACK etc. What matters is Kinetic viscosity. You don’t know if that car manufactured in the Southern US is going to be taken to the Arctic or Mexico City or Brazil. The oil that works in Florida, doesn’t work in Canada.
Where I live I can get -40 in January or February, my cars used to run on a SAE 40, how the heck is that going to help in -40?? It’s not, we use a 0W20, it’s never 120 degrees, hardly ever gets into the 90’s. Not to mention that you don’t know the driving habits of the user.
You can’t build an engine for a specific type of driver or environment. You have to build it for all environments, all driving types. If the purchaser uses a 0w20 on the track that’s his fault sure but if you don’t test out that scenario??
You have to design for every scenario and you can bet what’s recommended only works for that new car off the lot, after that you have to make an informaed decision. In cold weather climates there is some risk of running a 10 or 20W oil (you likely need a 5 or 0W), in a hot weather climate there is some risk of running a SAE 20 or 30 (you likely need a SAE 40 or 50).
I've owned my car for 15 years, I've done an oil change every 6 months or 5k miles usually Castrol or any good quality brand on sale. Last time I opened the engine it was clean, the oil color was ambar-brownish no sludge no deposits, So... imho the best "detergent" its periodic maintenance and preventive services. My car engine is as new, with little normal wear.
I swear by royal purple, it's the best for any kind of motor,
My boss uses royal purple in his 2001 silverado since new he now has almost 700,000 miles on the engine and it still runs like a champ . And he has a lead foot to so im convinced of 2 things always royal purple always LS .
I personally like Shaffer oil. Everyone should check out project farm channel he does some pretty in depth comparisons of oils and a lot of other stuff . I also use motor kote
Richard Green What about Schaefer beer?
Huntertuned for Shaffer and project farm for the testing it’s awesome
Agree. Project Farm oil comparison videos are great 👍
377,000 miles in my '96 Camaro using Amsoil. Coil pack, water pump and fuel pump replacement in '06. Amsoil #1
2012 scion XB and I stuck a camera scope inside the cylinders to find the hex Cuts were still there no linear marks the cylinder walls still looked almost new the inside of the valve cover with spotless no build-up at all everything was still super clean stethoscope inside the engine the inside of the crankcase was also clean no buildups or darken burned oil anywhere I find that Royal Purple has done an outstanding job of keeping all the pathways in the motor Clean & Clear of debris build-up and sludge the motor has taken extremely little where during its Venture from brand new to 80,000 miles I highly recommended it is far superior then most other motor oils
Royal purple is a really great product its kept my chevy 350 engine really clean with no issue whats so ever on my 1990 chevy stepside truck
RP uses Lubrizol add packs. Valvoline and many others do as well. Lubrizol and oronite are the two main suppliers of oil additive packages. Any modern synthetic will perform almost identical.
I’ve heard this before too. Maybe I need to just try them all.
Finally, someone who gets it. Everyone else is just spewing a bunch of nonsense. Penzoil Platinum High Mileage Full Synthetic has always been affordable at Walmart and has a great additive package as well. Penzoil has never let me down. He is right about the additive packs but at the same time Penzoil takes it a step above the standard additive. Check the labels, always, on any oil to see what you are getting.
Oil detergent. We use it in aviation a lot, it’ll suspend particles within it and get pulled to the filter.
The detergent cleans the parts and dispersant keeps it suspended.
Royal purple is the only oil I use. I switched to it several years ago. I like the results. I use all the Royal Purple products that are available, transmission fluid, gear lube and so on. I have used others before. I have done my homework about this and im sold on it. I have been a mechanic for a long time
Love the stuff.
even clean engines burn valves and have ring wear. check the cylinders with a bore gauge.
I had a 1988 Nissan Pickup with Z28 4 cylinder. I got it at 88,000 miles, changed the oil every 2500 miles without fail and drove it gently with a 4 speed manual trans. I used mostly penzoil, sometimes castrol and valvoline, sometimes synthetic but never exceeded the mileage. Did a valve job at about 140k when it burned an exhaust valve alright. Second valve job at 250K when i screwed up changing the timing chain, which didn't need it (the tensioner was worn to a rubber nub though) and bent a valve. I decided to do an in car overhaul because of the mileage (again, didn't need it but i only found that out after the parts were out). The timing chain, like new with no bow. Reused the pistons and the rod bearings since they were fine too. Changed the rings, since they were out (I didn't bother miking the rings but there was nothing wrong with them either, no oil eating, blowing or noise). I bought a ridge reamer but didn't need that either, there was no ridge at the top of the cylinders - at all. I honed the cylinders of course. Then put it all back together with great care, cranked it but wouldn't start!!! Instead of panicking, i thought for a minute, realized the distributor was installed backwards (shaft), fixed it, car started instantly. I drove the truck for another 50K, At almost 300K miles, and driving this truck into the ground really, it wouldn't idle so couldn't pass the GOT-DAMN SMOG... the guy looked at the smog numbers, which were just marginal for anal Caliornia smog checks, and told me to give up. Drove the truck away determined to fix it, but I got angry and revved the engine and the Got-damn distributor shaft broke...that was the end. I sold the truck to a pick a part. The guy driving the tow truck told me i ought to keep it! Told him I couldn't deal with it anymore and I already had a 2002 Camry to drive so, it really was the end. The yearly smog PITA was what killed this truck, NOT wear and tear.
Robert Maybeth all that and broke distributor shaft? 🙄 Those don’t “break”., guessing other things ended that one.
@@robertmaybeth3434
Man that's a great story. I have a '95 Toyota T100 and finally changed the original clutch with 219000 miles all new York City driving.
I run RP in my Trailblazer SS and she runs superbly! I also use octane booster and cleaner from RP and that as well is awesome!
Octane booster has been proven that’s it’s a waste of money unless you pour like 20 bottles in one full tank before you actually see any results . Your better off driving down to your local tracks and hitting the gas station down the road for the 100 + octane pump
Chris P Bacon and royal purple is formulated for boosted track cars that constantly see high heat for long periods of time . Stop investing in hype , that’s all it is
I noticed improvement right away
Will try it
I run anything that seems like oil in my 1986 300 Ford. Never noticed a difference. Of course you can’t tell a difference when it’s low or full!
Royal Purple is the best oil and filters, nuff said.
That’s been my experience too!
Quality synthetic oils have always been super engine cleaners. I changed to Mobile 1 in an old Subaru once, drove across the Sierra Nevada to the Owens Valley and changed my oil because it had turned black. My valve covers were 100% clean. Now if I did it again I would add 1 quart synthetic oil to my regular oil and monitor the cleaning process to clean the engine more slowly and then convert to 100% synthetic oil full time.
Way late to this video but been running royal purple for years in all of my race cars and all motors have way outlasted my expectations. I highly recommend the oil but I don’t use their filters.
I use QSUD and it does the same thing. Quiet smooth running engine.
Made by Pennzoil, so it’s great quality
I been using royal purple for the last 8 years in my 2005 Ford excursion with the v10 had been working amazing no problems I do agree after the first 5 or 6 uses your oil will stop getting dirty so fast
Varnish on non-bearing surfaces really doesn't harm anything. It is nice to not have it though.
I used to run Castrol GTX 10W-30 in an IL4 and 20W-50 in a V6. Both engines were sparkly clean inside wherever the oil touched. Back then I changed oil & filter every 2,500 miles. Oil was cheap, less than $1/quart. I used Baldwin filters.
I love royal purple its amazing
If you own a BMW, the only oil brands you should be using are Mobil 1, Royal Purple, Liquid Molly. I switched from Liquid Molly to Royal Purple about a year ago and everything seems to be running great.
The car originally called for castrol. That’s what i used on it until Royal Purple. From my experiences so far I don’t think I’m changing from RP
Never use on an older motor, my experience on a gto motor with about 20k miles, RP found every possible spot to leak out of and ultimately took out the rear main seal due to its detergent properties. Never again.
Ive ran royal purple on my 07 sentra base model for 6 plus year no problem..dealerships always said my engine was in great condition for how old it was with.and the mileage it has..i stand by royal purple..any day
It has over 200,000 miles and pulling hard still
Z-max cleans well too I did an oil change on a sbc with high miles and a lot of sludge and after a week I had to change the oil again because it cut all the sludge and was plugging up the filter
Sludge is not doing any damage sitting on surfaces. But it does damage in the strainer, oil pump and filter. Switching to a cleaning oil dislodging alot of sludge might clog up the system fast starving the engine for oil.
Use a really, really good oil filter when cleaning an engine out, and change the oil and filter often the first few times You want as much of that particle crap in the filter, not your bearings. Also note that really bad engines may be susceptible to oil pump failure as all that crap will first hit the oil pump before it goes through the filter... Sometimes deeming it not worth it...
Good to know! Just put 5 quarts of 5w30 Royal Purple in my 1989 Mustang 5.0 yesterday.
I’ve had lots of good luck with this oil.
I've used RP in everything including my lawn mower and atvs and SXS and I've never had a problem.
I have little no experiences with small engines when it comes to trying different oils. In my dirt bike and lawn mower I use the recommended Honda oil. I might try something else.
I just pulled my cylinder heads off and they were dirty as, interested to see part 2
I just buy Supertech from Walmart and add in a pint of Purple Power degreaser. Boom, Royal Purple.
I did a test with super tech and it did not preform well. It’s not the same oil
2000 Nissan Xterra four wheel drive. Royal Purple oil in, engine, transfer case, transmission and both differentials, 430000 plus miles. Still running.
My wifes 2000 chrylser town and country had just had regular oil ran thru it and when i changed the head gasket at 200,000 it was very clean, if your running high end oil in your regular vehicle your throwing money away .
Interesting!
It’ll be cool to find out!
FYI you can do the EXACT same thing with half a quart of automatic transmission fluid added to the oil. Won't hurt a thing. It's actually in Ford's diagnostic procedure for vvt codes on their v-8's.
I always throw a qt of tranny fluid in prior to change. Use Rotella T6 on a 335i. Motor is clean 170k miles 455 hp
Yeah I done this before one of the mechanics at the GM Tech Center told me this years ago I did it to do engine flushes solve for the whole quarter gears let it run for a little while and then empty the oil
You can use manual transmission fluid also?
Yeah, but how long do you run the engine with transmission fluid before the oil change and how does it compare to something like Seafoam? Seafoam allows the use of your car until the next oil change without damage (or so they say). Also, what kind/type of transmission fluid, or does it matter?
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't that about the same thing as dumping in a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil a few hundred miles before doing a oil change?
I got started on Royal Purple when I was stationed in California. The Corps was very serious about motorcycle safety. We had a few CHPs come do a handling class and got to talking. The Cali Highway Patrol runs Royal Purple in everything, and will run 15,000 miles on an oil change with no problems, they also pack on the miles so if they had to change every 3, 5, 7.5, 10K miles they'd stay in the shop. It's all I run and I've switched 2 Tacoma's, 4 Jeeps, and 2 Mustangs. All are running better, and I have pulled the covers and oil pans and seen dramatically cleaner engines. Like you showed the first few oil changes had some sludge, which is why I first pulled the covers. Regular maintenance goes a long way, and I'll only use Royal Purple as it has given me increased cleaniness.
Thanks for the comment, I agree with what you said. the most important thing anyone can do is regular/scheduled maintenance.
Use it. I been using it in my race bikes since 1998.
I always listen to guys who work at O‘Reilly’s too.
What oil do you prefer?
I don't, lmao

Changed to the Purple when the warranty was up . Just about to turn 70,000. I change at 5,000. 2011 RS SS 2S Camaro. Longest trip 5,700 mi. in 2 weeks. Longest day 900 mi. Real Life test.. And it does DONUTS
RP is all I run in my durango, almost 70 thousand km on it and still going super strong, zero hemi tick, tons of power.
I reccomend the stuff.
