Royal Purple is the bomb but you pay an arm & a leg for it.

I posted that thread. But later on that test was proven to be flawed.

Its still a great oil but that test was not appropriate for that type of lubricant.

Sif, just recycle your old oil. Just like wine, gets better with age.

I swear by it, Royal Purple XPR 5W-30 never let me down yet and the oil is still pretty clean after 7K
