just did my FIRST Royal Purple transition a few days ago. I have a 6th gen Camaro and ALWAYS used Mobil 1. Suffice to say, im done with it and am using Royal Purple-HPS now. I noticed an immediate difference after the switch. Engine runs sooooo much smoother, shifts better and actually quited down a bit. Mobil 1 after new oil changes NEVER did that. I should have switch years ago but finally decided to make the switch. I want longevity out of this engine
I absolutely love this stuff!! I have used regular Royal Purple 5w-30 before. And my engine was a lot younger then. Anyway, it's kinda difficult to find, but I scored a deal via Amazon and got a 5-qt 5w-30 HMX jug along with a Mobil 1 extended range filter (I don't honestly know if Mobil 1 makes those older filters anymore; I never see them on the shelf at Advance or Auto Zone). It's been a few months since I changed my oil and filter using the aforementioned; and I can say without irony that my little 4-banger w/125+ k miles on it runs smoother, quieter, and I've even been surprised a few times by how much more HP the engine seems able to give. Believe me, when your brand new tires make any kinda squeal at a stoplight, you get some small excitement. Anyway, I'm going to do so again when the next drain comes due. And I'm betting that it will only improve; or at the least, stay consistent. Nice work; good video. thx brother!!
I know this video is old but the guy is 100% right on. I've switched from mobile 1 too royal purple in my modded ls1 and definitely see a difference. My car now holds oil pressure and idle smoother.
Always used Pennzoil Platinum for years, now they got something even better Pennzoil Ultra Platinum . The engine runs quite smooth and in all the years the engines never consume any oil
Im about to use this oil and alot of their other products on my 2001 accord ex sedan shes already well taken care of drives very well at 240,000 miles but im hoping this oil will get me many many more years with this car.
I use this oil in my 2006 subaru sti and I haven't had any problems so far, I started using it as soon as I bought the car and I had 101,000 km on it then. I change my oil every 5000km and every time I do, I notice a great difference in performance. A year later and I have 132,000 km now and it still runs like a dream.
I have always used Valvoline HM in my 93 ford crown victoria but now that I got a 2004 Cadillac CTS I have been considering using RP in ut especially after price comparing and finding it not that much more. Originally I thought about the XPR formula but I think just because of the mileage and rational thinking I'll probably stick to the HMX formula.
I know I’m late, but when I contacted Royal Purple regarding switching to High mileage. They said to run 3 cycles of the normal Royal Purple. Then switch to high mileage, which isn’t a problem since I’ve been running Royal Purple in my BMW since I got it
most of the syn oils are the same, except for a few top oils like RP then there is some difference and depends on the particular motor...I was told by a RP rep that they use group 4 and some group 3 as a carrier. That was a few yrs ago.
It's pronounced, "SIN - er - lek" ... kinda like synergy...it's old AF Latin stuff, but there you go... anyway, synergy = SIN - er - gee ... same thing almost always applies whenever you see those syn- prefixes. You're not a stupid man. And the admission of any ignorance denotes intelligence, because more specifically, it denotes curiosity. And curiosity about the world and how it works is the single most important indicator of one's intelligence. Once people stop being curious, they become boring; and they become those mildewed-smelling, nasties ... like people in Congress ...
Currently Running this in my 2000 Acura TL and she loves it, no leaks, no weird noises and runs super smooth. Going to be comparing it with redline when I do my next oil change and compare the analysis results. Also FYI because of the high mileage additives, the API only rates this oil as SL so it's not reccomended to be used in cars from 2004 and up or you could mess up the newer style 02 sensors and catalytic converters if your car is burning oil.
Royal Purple website actually recommends two ✌ regular 3,000 miles or three months oil changes before extending your oil changes to 11k or once a year.
@@andrewp1998 oh ok i see, i hope it keeps lasting you. Make sure you change out the gaskets after a while at a certain mileage sometimes they deteriorate like mine did. Just do preventive matinenece and you will be good your already using a good oil so that will extend the life of your engine
I used royal purple in my 00 camaro it does what it dose and it dose it right. Friends always told me too many additives arent good be careful rp is bad. Do your own research and try things dont always go word of mouth rp is good. I use liqui moly on my gti but might just clean her up a bit with rp
My Toyota Tacoma 3.4 loves this stuff, and now my Corvette C5 with 130,000 miles is gonna get the grape juice too. I've used Mobil 1 High Mileage in that Corvette, but now since Mobil reduced the ZDDP in that oil to meet API SN specs, it's not as good as it used to be. It used to be API SL. HMX is still API SL which means it contains more ZDDP, moly and other additives. I hope Royal Purple isn't forced to "water down" their HMX line to meet API SN. You'll know they did once you see HMX sold everywhere.
I agree with you 100 percent. I have a 2005 Honda Accord and was like the same with you trying different types of oils and heard or Royal Purple and trying it after 15 minutes in my engine it sound so much better and seem way better. And I used there Royal Purple oil filter too. I want to do that oil test. Black labs for the hell of it. To see.
I have 2005 Accord with 150,000 miles I been thinking of using royal purple hmx would u recommend I just hear people say it can cause oil leaks from seals ,gasket with high mileage
I really like how you worded everything. You make it for everyone to understand what you are trying to say. I seen a video of royal purple where they talk about "synerlec" and it is a additive they put in their oil. They say the additive gets attractive to the metal parts for better performance and protection, it also clings on the metal parts even after a long time without driving it. Firestone is cheap from my experience. I don't use them but my sister does with her 2012 Honda Civic and she supposedly gets full synthetic oil, then I did her oil change for her using Valvoline Full Synthetic and she said she felt an immediate difference. Valvoline full synthetic is my personal preference, but it makes me wonder at times if my sister even got what she paid for or if Firestone just put in the cheap conventional oil. Not hating on Firestone but that's what I honestly believe happened.
Richard Ojeda Firstones standard oil change uses Kendall synthetic blend. Same oil as Ford Motorcraft synthetic blend. It's very good oil. Not as good as full synthetic but about as good as you can get for a standard oil change.
@@skittykitty1000 Great video dude. I like how you're unbiased about brands and you just use what feels right. I also like how you are not endorsing Royal Purple but you are simply giving your opinion for others to consider Royal Purple and try for themselves.
Thanks for the review . I will have to try this in my 01 civic with 238k and uses oil. The 10w30 looks good to with a pour point of -49F is very impressive. VI of the 5w30 is a bit higher..
I use royal purple oil and I use the dura lube oil treatment in my 2002 2.2L 4cylinder Pontiac sunfire and she runs awesome she has around 257k miles on hè
Duralube oil treatment is bad for Royal Purple Oil and is bad for Engines so please stop using it asap!! RP already has what you need to protect and lubricate the engine. So why on earth would you chose to add something else to the oil when it isnt necessary??
I only used dura lube treatment oil once in my engine with high miles royal purple oil and now all I used is rolay purple oil in my car I don't no but she runing a hole lot better
@@shaynehuber3426 Oh ok. So long as it was only once. RP has everything you need now to take care of the inside of the engine. So good on ya for usin it.
Ya I no but my sunfire she runing fine now well ok I have to change my air intake filter it like dirty so I'm getting a nice cold air intake for her .. I'm just wondering I'm using the regular 5 20 high miles royal purple is it the same as 5 20w HMX Rolay purple oil
So listen guys... Why not use a super lubricant/ friction reducer like Motor Kote n any regular modern oil? It would outperform Royal purple or Amsoil anything out there as far as engine protection goes! As long as you change your oil at no more than 5k intervals.. I use it n add every 3 oil changes..I use Quaker state Full synthetic + Motor Kote n my engine feels like Silk!
Because I'm pretty sure I trust the scientist that are doing tons of research to provide a complete formula of oil, rather than try to Gordon Ramsay up some Homebrew mixture by messing with the chemistry
Wrong!! You dont need Motorkote when Royal Purple Or Amsoil already has the best possible additive/detergent packages available. Makes Motorkote look like childs play because motorkote is just an additive package where Amsoil and Royal Purple are the whole package containing superior lubricants and additive packages. Please do some research to see what I am talking about. Lol
thebestsyntheticoil.com/pdf/TSB%20MO-2010-04-01_chlorine_oil_treatments.pdf definitely do NOT use motorkote, chlorine based lubricants are a scam, theres a reason why chlorine isn't used in real oil, it's a contaminant, not an additive.
Nvm I finished the video, good video. Btw if you want to achieve best performance/mpg you'll want a lower viscosity oil. The only thing now is you must research.... Just get Amsoil
To be fair, hmx is a group 4 base oil. I could try Red Line which I believe is group 5, but the base oil is not the end-all be-all of the overall composition and mixture. The end result of it's chemistry is what makes any oil good or bad.
@@XX-ce5tv Yeah, but you claimed 100% Synthetic like Royal Purple isnt when it is. Lol I like Amsoil too. But you have to stop hangin with that crowd who thinks Amsoil is the only true synthetic oil maker on the market. There are several other Motor Oils that are true Synthetics. Do your research man and be amazed. Lol Heres one just to kick things off. SynLube Lube4Life 150,000 Miles or 15 Years Synlube.com
