If it is still the same Royal Purple I used in 2001...then it is no that great. I find engine running rough very soon eg. after around 2k-5k, etc...

No worries on this reputed oil. Have been using it since 2005 on my TC car and it is giving

my engine good lubrication.

where can i buy royal purple oil, i've got 2 btl, gotta buy another 2 btl for a servicing..........

[Luckcent]

RP oil comes in 1 bottle containing 0.965 l so if your needs 4 l, it is best to buy 5 bottles.

You can get it at m-------g. or pm Trex from this forum.

The purpose of my survey to use RP is not the cost. As I went to a workshop recommended by a friend, the shop only use RP. The boss say RP till very good so I wanna ask you guys if its true.

 

Now seems like other than cheap ( I also dunno exactly how much), there is no good feedback..

==================

 

I used to use RP since ty 1st started selling from the warehouse in Jurong (Mr. Bull). It was a cheap fully synthetic USA made oil of very high quality. Comparable if not better than Mobil 1 even.

 

Put it in my COE Corona & it performed very well upto 10K km NO PROBLEM. Then I used it in my Optra but switched to CL cos the price of RP has been going up & up so CL gives me better value for money.

 

I also used the RP Max ATF fully synthetic auto transmission fluid. Very good stuff but again due to price I switch to Toyota Type IV (mineral) to clean out my present Optras autobox & prob go back to RP Max ATF once the bal stock of my Type IV is finished.

 

1Qt used to cost only abt $6 if I bought in the pail so I used to share with 3 more kaki & we got the pail(21Lit).

 

Now the price is abt same as Mobil 1(abt $12/qt) so I hv switched to CL 10w40 fully synthetic which cost abt $30/5 lit. ($6/lit). Cheap & good also.

 

FYI RP is used in US by those reputable auto rebuilders & speciality shops for high performance engines. Its very popular in US & used for many race & high performance cars.

 

Just like CL which is popular in UK race circles.

 

The only reason I stopped using RP is cos of the price getting to ex. Other than that I found the RP products I used to b of a very high quality.

 

If u have it in your car, do not worry as it is a good quality product. Not some snake oil.

 

I am not connected to RP in any way other than being a customer.

Huh? You never heard of Royal Purple?

 

If you had watched the movie "G.I. Joe" a few months back, you would have noticed that Royal Purple is the designated lubricating oil G.I. Joe uses. They have lots of it in their headquarter.

Ya I used RP when ty first started seling in SG many years ago. Easily last 10K km.

 

Its a damm good oil but was cheap last time. Then the price kept going up up n up till its about the same price of Mobil 1 so I dun use it anymore.

 

Even their Max ATF fully synthetic is damm good stuff but now too ex for me.

 

I now using C@rlube engine oil n ATF which is also very good but much cheaper.

 

We drive very lightly in SG so dun really need such expensive oil. Just a cheap n good oil wil do.

[Nom107]

when i use amsoil oil new can get 600km n slowly drop to 500km per tank when come to 5k km. fr 16km/L drop to 14km/L
