switching from mobil 1 to Royal Purple
so when i was swapping valve covers (which i should have gotten a picture) there was some junk (alittle bite, not much) on the springs and chite, so after my buddy caught it, told me i need to switch to Royal Purple, may cost alittle more, but worth the money, which i'm down to using the best stuff in my Mach, for sure worth it, it just kills me that mobil 1 would do that. i use 5w-20 and from the research i've done its suppose to be one of the best to use.
Has anyone else had this problem my buddy has been a master mech for years, and i know he knows his chite he also has a mach and has been on here, but not any more, so i trust what he tells me ASh

Re: switching from mobil 1 to Royal Purple
Shoulda seen my car when i swapped the intake cams. Diesel oil FTW. It had 85k miles on it at the time, and it looked brand spanking new. Not a single spec of rust, corrosion, black junk, nothing. Spotless.
I'd stick with mobil 1 5w30 if your not a diesel oil fan.

Re: switching from mobil 1 to Royal Purple
5w-20 is too thin. I'd at least get 5w-30 Royal Purple if thats what you want.
Lower the second number is, the more wear your causing on your engine at higher operating temps. And only benefit is your probably saving .25mpg and getting an extra 1hp. With your car being boosted and everything, I wouldn't be running 5w-20. Its your car though!
