Re: switching from mobil 1 to Royal Purple
ASh, all I ever put in my motor was RP 5-20. I have pulled the can covers and not a single spec of gunk any where. In fact it was so clean I was worried about it.
Btw not a single issue on mine, but I chaged the oil every spring (regardless of the miles) or prior to any track outing. Is it the best, I don't know. All I can tell you is I had zero problems and as cleen as a whistle.

Re: switching from mobil 1 to Royal Purple
i used to run RP but i decided to switch to Mobil 1 5W-30. im not too nice to my car and so far im liking the Mobil, and since i do run it pretty hard i change it at 3k miles or so with a motorcraft filter

Re: switching from mobil 1 to Royal Purple
I use royal purple 5-20 in the Mach and so far so good. No oil consumption at all. I'll probably continue to use it until someone shows me some data to support their claims against it. I normally use conventional oil on my cars and I've never had an oil related problem with any engine. We bought my moms suv new in 2001 and I always used the recommended viscosity oil when I changed the fluid. 118,xxx miles later, no problems what so ever. Burns little to no oil and passes emissions no problem. So I think any synthetic oil should do just fine in our engines.

Re: switching from mobil 1 to Royal Purple
I just pulled the valve covers on my 86k mile motor thats had either motorcraft blend or Mobil1 5w20 changed every 3-4k miles and I thought everything looked pretty good. The cams obviously arent new but theres no wear you could really feel with your finger or anything, I was kinda surprised at how clean everything looked
I am debating the move to 5w30 but will not be changing brands as Id rather just keep changing it every 3-4k miles vs stretching it to 10 or whatever with amsoil

Re: switching from mobil 1 to Royal Purple
there is a reason why mobil 1 is factory fill by:
Mercedes AMG Porsche Corvette Z06,ZR1 Acura RDX Aston Martin DB9, DB9 Volante, DBS, DBS Volante, Virage, Virage Volante, Rapide All Bentley Vehicles Chevrolet CR8 Citröen DS3 Holden HSV Lexus FLA Nissan GT-R Opel Insignia McLaren MP4-12C Peugeot RCZ Saab 9-3 TTiD Vauxhall VXR8 Viper Motorcycles how many cars come with RP factory fill?? do you really think RP has more money to spend on research then mobil 1?? ( i never heard from RP or amsoil until i moved to the states) sorry but if aMcLaren MP4-12C comes with Mobil 1 ,i am sure Mobil 1 is good enough for my 30.000dollar car |

Re: switching from mobil 1 to Royal Purple
Well I used Motocraft 5w20 and had the "bearing noise" on startup, friend of mine talked me into Mobil one synthetic 5w30 and the first crank I still had noise and maybe the second also, but I have noticed the last 3 cold starts (sitting a week or so) there has been NO noise!! So Im starting to be a believer.. Thought of trying Diesel oil (hope im saying that right) I heard it was really good for engines.

or the stock mach motor is as good as the 03/04 cobra motor? i get what your sayin and sometimes its a cost thing. just like for posted above where you could get mobil 1 in a jug for $35 vs getting a jug of royal purple for $37. sometimes the factory is going to go with the good stuff, but not the best stuff and i'm not sayin Royal Purple is the best, i've always used Mobil 1 since my motor has been built, but i'm changing to RP cuz of a reason of what i say, i should have taken pictures of it, but didn't think this was going to be such a talked on subject. i'm sure there are people that have ran many brands that others don't like that have never did them wrong and others that have ran the high dollar chite that never had a problem.

Re: switching from mobil 1 to Royal Purple
i understand what you are saying.
royal purple will never BE A BETTER PRODUCT l My argument is that Mobil has the resources to make the best oil; they have greater resources than Royal Purple does. I don't think anybody can dispute that fact. and there must be reason NOBODY USES OR EVEN KNOW RP OVER SEAS. no offense MOBIL 1 uses FORMULA F1 as RESEARCH just 1 of many! “Formula One engines are incredibly powerful, often pulling in excess of a 750 brake horsepower for a 2.4 litre V8 engine,” http://www.formula1.com/news/features/2011/9/12524.html Last edited by mr-proper; 04-13-2012 at 08:25 AM. |

Re: switching from mobil 1 to Royal Purple
mobil1 has the resources but if theyre trying to sell as much as possible they have to compete on price as well whereas a company like amsoil or rp claim to be putting out the highest quality product and therefore price is higher (not saying this is true, just an angle to consider). So Mobil1 might have a ton of data on what SHOULD be in the oil but it isnt because it would make it surpass their target price..in the end, who the hell knows. It would take a lot of time and money to prove it all out. Mobil 1 might be factory fill for a lot of high performance vehicles but we already know manufacturers have sacrificed wear protection for fuel economy/emissions standards in some cases so whos to say what the real motive is...again, not downing Mobil1 as I plan to keep running it.
as far as what you saw Ash, are you the cars first owner? If not who knows what oil or what change schedule they might have used

Re: switching from mobil 1 to Royal Purple
I'd agree with both MrProper and Ash.
Mobil 1 might just be large enough that they can negotiate better contracts with those companies, and therefore give them a better price. But, at the same time, the company isn't going to just go with a company because its less expensive. Oil is a critical component of their entire system, and they wouldn't choose Mobil 1 if it was going to hinder the performance, durability, or they didn't believe it was the best on the market.

Re: switching from mobil 1 to Royal Purple
I ran RP for a bit. Read about the additives not lasting long, blah blah blah. Far too lazy to read into the details. I decided that any synthetic should be good enough so I switched to mobil1 and extended my oil change period to 6k. No problems yet. 5w30 of course.

Re: switching from mobil 1 to Royal Purple
So with every single person saying don't run RP, you still put RP 5-20w in your car.
