i run RP, have for the last 10k and love it. i've noticed a quieter engine at idle, and alot less blow-by. i heard horror stories about almost all oil brands, i think its really comes down to a personal preference. i agree though that amsoil and redline are both great products.

Has anyone run Neo Synthetic? I used it in my old cars for tranny and diff. Shifts were very smooth and i swear got 1-2 mpg more. They also have a diff additive that seemed to make my LSD in my IS300 lock more (or something for lack of better discription) http://www.neosyntheticoil.com/

yeah I run RP 10w30... I love it!
Great - RP is great to take long walks with, have candle light dinners, and whisper sweet nothings to...
I only use an oil that has a proven track record - and Royal Purple doesn't have one. I haven't seen any scientifically backed data showing the performance characteristics of the product. Scientific - as in industry standardized performance tests - done by independent labs. There are claims that RP "micropolishes" bearing surfaces. Polish=abrasive, no matter how "micro" the polish is. Ya, that's exactly what I want in my engine.
RP is marketing, not substance.
This is the sentiment expressed by Road Rage - and oil is his business.
I choose substance over marketing (or pretty colors).
