Ah, you speak of the Turbonator, Nizmoz. I bought a couple of those and installed them in my tailpipes. They made this cool, jet turbine sound. Remember when we were kids and stuck playing cards in the spokes of our bicycles to make them sound like motorbikes, sorta? Same concept. I think they actually created a thrust vortex out of my tailpipes and increased torque too. Awesome product.

i started using it immidiately after i picked up my wifes explorer sport trac back in dec 06 and when i change the oil every 3 grand or so, it comes out clear caramel colored, its a clean burning oil for sure, but to say it burns faster, well i dont think so, because their website says you can run longer durations between oil changes suggesting it will last longer rather than burn faster.

Clear is a bad thing also, that means it's not cleaning. It needs to come out dark so it's cleaning the engine of the deposits.
Does Royal Purple maintain its purple color after it’s put into service?

No. The dye that’s used to color the oil dissipates shortly after being put into service. The color will turn brown at some point.
That explains the caramel color he is referring too! No, your correct, it's not cleaning the engine! But it is not because it is not working. It's because the oil was changed way to soon, at 3 thousand miles. RP, needs to go at least 5 to 7 thousand miles to work properly.
