Royal Purple. Engine Damage In The Long Term?

SPOHN · 02-02-2011, 11:37 AM

I've always used Mobil1 and a there filters. I believe Mobil is the oldest oil company out there. But Nissan oil filters are great also. I use Motul when if was FI on my 350.

No problem. Other than the original OEM filter that was placed on the car at the factory, I've only used K&N or Purolator PureOne oil filters (although I'd also have no problem using Wix).

pot i use M1 and M1 filter....

in the corvette motors. so good enough for me.

Pot has been sufficiently stirred.

I just would not run to 8K OP, 5k max

That test, as any other test, could be easily challenged... This said, it is self-explanatory!

Also, and i speak with experience using RP oils, i never had any issues or bad oil analysis reports using RP for the 370.

The only suggestion would be to wait for at least 5k of breaking before starting using Royal Purple.

ps. I "love" theese oil threads...
