Default Royal Purple

Does anyone use Royal Purple....I saw the thermal profile tests done on the cylinder heads and if its accurate it is impressive....does this stuff work as advertised?

I've been running it in the motor and the gear oil in the tranny. I'm satisified with how it performs so far. I switched over at my 1k.

While I can't verify the validity of their advertisements, they do make a very good oil. I would use and recommed it without reservation...

RP is a great oil, not sure how easy it is to obtain.

Just switched to RP last week at the advice of the indy. So far, so good. Was not cheap however - up here in Ontario - the Indy charged $ 14.99 a quart.
