talking about mistakes dont ever be afraid to tighten your oil drain, i spent god knows how much on royal purple just for it to spill out cause the plug flew out!! well luckily my buddy hooked me up with a free plug, and 5 quarts of penzoil.

Screw the free drain plug, and the free oil, your lucky you didn't lose the engine. Driving around with no oil tends to be just a little bad for internals.

Those videos really do put f1 into perspective. What looks like a massive mistake from the outside can really be just a tiny miscalculation inside.

Because it's probably the best oil out there.

Ive heard some good things about royal purple, just nothing that would justify the extra price in a streetcar.
