Don't get the Royal Purple racing stuff, it's not API/ILSAC certified (if you care about your warranty).

Re: anyone using royal purple ?????

Totaly agree with BlackMach and also I spoke with Tech at Royal Purple and they mentioned I did not need Racing 11 for street/strip car. (not sayin gyou can not use it)

I use the 5w20 and also have the RP Ice in the Rad and the Tranny fluid RP and the diff RP. Only thing I am missing is the Power steering fluid to Rp but I thinkI will leave Ford's in there for now.

Also have the RP sticker in the engine bay.
Would not lie..lol

Good luck with your choice.

If you switch to RP use the 5w-20 blend. I run RP 5w-20 and RP 75w90 in the rear.

Use RP in the rear-end with friction modifier, Mobile 1 everywhere else.
