-Royal Purple
-5w-30 Synthetic
-Santa Ana Speed / Mike cuts me a deal from time to time but lets say $40 for 5qt.
-Ive Run it in my: 68' Elco SS, 01 T/A WS6, and now my 95 Impala. So about 4 years.
-People say RP has lost its quality over the years which I cant tell because I dont run race motors. A friend has shown me test results comparing AMSoil and a lot of others, so to get him off my back i told him id run it once if he'd shut the hell up about it.

Spun a rod bearing on a stock 145k mile shortblock while racing it and shifting at 6500 rpms for the last 50k miles... Stock rod bolts are the weakest link in a short block...that has nothing to do with the type of oil I use...
Also I'm not the one who spun a MAIN bearing...I remember digging out bearing material that was packed in your oil pick up tube, remember?

I'd be interested to here everyone's stories here about types of oil and signs of wear/damage they've seen as a result.
