Default Royal Purple

Hello Everyone.

First post here and I hope to have many more.

Anyway, my 2006 Fatboy just reached 5k miles and I'd like to perform my own oil change. I had a conversation with a mechanic once and when we got into the oil change conversation he mentioned that he's used Royal Purple on everything, is this true? I've seen the price of Royal Purple and but I don't know of anyone that used it.

Welcome to the forum.
Dont know if its true or not, have him take a polygraph test.
There are a lot of oil options that work fine, its a personal preference

Go with either Mobil 1 or Schaeffers Products. Forget all about Royal Purple.

Welcome from Cedar Rapids!

(I'm not going to point out that starting an oil thread with your first post to any motorsport-related forum might be considered trolling...that's what the parentheses are for...to hide the sarcasm...)

It may in fact be true that your mechanic acquaintance has used Royal Purple exclusively. I have no idea.

I too, have seen the price of Royal Purple, but I don't know anyone (personally) that has used it.

The few times I've read about someone using it, they seemed to think it was worth the money. Who am I to judge?

All the best,

Shane
