My oil change is comming up, and i've been thinking about using Royal Purple 10w-30 for it. Has anybody ever tried using it in their car, for the extra two bucks, is it really worth it?

 

yes

 

i used it and saw oil consumption go up, i switched to castrol syntec so far alot less oil consumption, as far as promised increases in certain fields i saw no difference. i guess to me the 2 bucks goes towards the coloring since it is purple lol

 

YES it will drink the royal purple atleast 1 qtz about 2 months

my dad used to work for napa and i got at least about 25 qtz bought that many cause of discount after one used and my car drinking at least 1 qtz i replace it with mobil 1....

its a good oil but not for s2000

 

this oil is over rated i only used it b/c i got it threw a sponsorship, it suxs, not worth it mobil 1.......in the s2000 it burns to quick and in in other performance car. in the evo it freaking leaked out, changed to mobil and no more this stuff suxs

 

go check out what bobistheoilguy.com- it didnt score as well as other oils, alot better oils out there you could get for same price and/or maybe less... i wouldnt use RP unless it was for one day on the track and then id chage it immediately after

 

I wouldn't use Royal Purple. I had a bad experience with their gear oil a few years back, and the company does not back their product.
I would go with Amsoil, M1, Redline or any of the other oils recommended by Road Rage in the Oil Journals.

 

strange to see its not good on the s2k.
I had a friend that used it in a diesel truck and it held up much better than any others.
He was sending samples into a lab every 3k miles and it was coming back clean every time.
he had the same oil in the motor for about 35k miles and the lab said it still had good lubricity and very little metal content. It actually micro polishes the bearing surfaces. I looked at the reports myself because I didn't believe him and sure enough it was coming back good.
I was running it in my bike and miata and it did use but never had any problems.

 

I used it for the first and probly last time.
My S seems to sip the RP even more than Mobil1.
I will go back to the Mobil1.
Just my .02
