I'd stick with Mobil 1. I seriously doubt Royal Purple offers anything significantly better over Mobil fr the extra $3 a quart.

If i couldnt get Royal Purple for 4.88 like I get it for I would be using Mobil. Im waiting for a test tube to send my oil to get analyzed though. Car has 109K used RP for about 60-70k, should be neat to see the results.
