Royal Purple Street Synthetic Motor Oil - SAE 5w20, Quart Bottle, Pack of 12 Review
I love motor oil and I love experiment with it too. I have a 2009 Acura TL and I only have 5000 miles. I didn't know how long the factory fill oil was sitting in my car when I bought it so after 1000 miles I changed it out to Red Line 5w20 because it is simply the best oil(polyol ester oil) when it comes to its additive pack(ZDDP-Zincdithiophosphate and Molybdneum(friction modifier). Now after reaching 5000 miles I decided to change my oil and decided to try Royal Purple 5w20. After researching the web and reading quite a bit on an oil forum, I was a sceptic because it wasn't received well. I heard everything from it shears easily and doesn't hold its viscosity to the fact that many used oil analysis(UOA's)didn't show favorably on Royal Purple's side. Well after having this oil in my sump for over a month, I can honestly say from the bottom of my butt dyno that I love this oil. I don't know if it is in my mind or not but I feel that I have better low end power and torque and the car feels a lot smoother as well. Red Line is supposed to be a very good oil, if not the best and many people who use it brag or notice how smooth their cars run with Red Line. Don't get me wrong the Red Line ran smooth in my car too but Royal Purple has given me a good balance of not only performance but also a quiet and smooth engine. Best of both worlds is what Royal Purple has given me. I am now a believer! Give it a try and hope your results are just as well as mine.
P.S. I also bought Royal Purple oil filter to go with the oil so I am running royally great products. Just go to Pepboys, if you have one and hold a royal purple oil filter, its the heaviest filter compared to the others that they sell there. I have seen the filter cut open and it has a 100% synthetic glass media that filters the finest of wear materials but doesn't restrict flow at the same time. Some filters will compromise oil flow for filtering efficiency and some do the opposite. Not Royal Purple or they claim that.
