That's a very valid point. I can only assume this guy's doing this... if he isn't, we need to go right back to square one.

 

I know this is off topic but Royal Purple is the only oil Greddy USA will tell you not to use with their turbo kits.

 

This is a well-beaten dead horse. You can go by the lower side as suggested above. I find that after several pulls and wipes that the sides match and readings are consistent.

 

It is good... At shearing and thinning out! Much like regular Mobil 1.

 

If you cannot read the dipstick itself. Get a clean sheet of white paper towel. Pull the dipstick and lay it on the white paper towel. Then compare the length of the oil mark to the marks on the dipstick.

 

I blew snot out one nostril when I read this. Sometimes, over-statement can be a biatch but in this case, it works.

I blew snot out my other nostril when I read this. As good as Amsoil or German Castrol? OK, those magic mushrooms are working for you. RP is not a "bad" oil but it's not as great an oil as some may have been hyped up to believe. It's just PURPLE. Would I use it if it were the only oil around? Sure, but it isn't and it's not worth paying extra for the die they put in it.

And how much do you think RP paid Greddy to fly that flag?

I wish I had another nostril.



BTW, checking the oil on an S2000 is only difficult till someone shows you how to do it right. Even with fresh, clear oil, it's not hard to do.

 

Please re-read my post. I doubt RP wants Greddy to talking about their oil. I was on the phone with a tech at Greddy asking what oil they recommend after I installed their turbo kit. The tech told me to use any modern hi-grade motor oil of my choosing in the 10w30/10w40 range, except Royal Purple. This piqued my curiosity and I asked why not RP. He said the turbos sent to them to be repaired that had been run with RP oil were completely unrebuildable. It was unable to take the heat and destroyed the bearing/shaft area of the turbos.
