Default oil change

just changed from mobil 1 15w50 to royal purple 20w50 and wow, i can actually tell a difference... better oil pressure, engine running cooler and a slight increase in hp according to the "butt-o-meter". good switch imo .

also went from quaker state syncromesh to royal purple syncromesh. can't tell anything different on that yet. still very pleased

I have been very pleased with Royal Purple. No noticeable difference but I just trust it. Helps too that its only slightly more expensive than Mobil 1 now.

I noticed a difference too when I started using royal purple instead of Mobil 1. I think next oil change I'm going to try the German castrol because I've heard very good things about it
