im not here to promote my personal brand, or perform any official oil test as on horsepower tv, i was just letting everyone know that i notice a slight improvement in performance in my mach1, hard to say in my wifes truck though because i canged it to rp as soon as i got it home from the dealership. her engine is the 3 valve 4.6 where as mine is the high performance 4 valve 4.6.

also the sludge thing (darker oil) should only be happening in cars with higher mileage on them. the mach1 oil does come out darker like you state, but as of yet its still clear in the truck because it has low mileage.

also if you look around bit on the rp website you will see a link to the performance section and under that section there are video links to various independants that have done dynos to prove that it does increase hp and tq.

Of course they are going to show it on that website because it's their product. There were dynos showing the twister or whatever in the intake gains power when in fact it makes you lose power.

RP again shown in 1000s of tests UOAs, etc on BITOG does not gain hp, or perform better than other synthetic oils. It causes more wear than others.

Also it is a known fact if the oil is coming out clean after many miles, means it's not doing it's job cleaning the particles, sludge etc out of the engine. Thinking because it's clear it's doing a better job is incorrect.

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.

:rock:

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.

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.

yup

dad is right

rp says you can go up to 9000 miles for an oil change interval

i follow what your saying nizmoz, it is their website and i would do the same if it were my company, its "called" promoting your product with substantiated efforts which are done by non affiliated sources.

all im saying is that rp made a believer out of me, and i will continue to use it. and will use it along with k&n oil filters in the z too.
