Royal Purple Oil Filter Review and Specs

[@fixedgearforlife]

Very good unbiased review of both these filters. I like using the Royal Purple because I can order on Amazon at a decent price and have it delivered to my door in two days. Amsoil I'd have to drive ten miles out of my way to a dealer who is really annoying and always trying to sell me other shit along with it.

[@CarsNToys]

I agree. How hard/easy it is to purchase a filter is certainly a factor. Cheers.

[@HimmelWeint]

The bypass valve is not only for when the filter is clogged while it is able to function as such the main purpose is when you are accelerating the valve opens and allows oil through otherwise the oil pressure would be too low after the filter and oil would not be able to flow fast enough or get to the parts it needs to lubricate.

[@CarsNToys]

Thank you. That's a solid point as well.

[@el34glo59]

Best filter out there. Best combo of flow and filtration with high quality media. Second for me would be the Purolator Boss

[@arthursmith643]

I'm going to try a Royal Purple filter for my Jeep Grand Cherokee next. I like what I see. Thanks

[@opera93]

Arthur Smith be interesting to see if : any noticeable improvement.... I juat changing to Royal Purple IN GMC Canyon,4 CYL 140,000 mi, been NAPA Gold....( NAPA Gold,for obvious reASON, & MOB1).....?? Let us know, & what you been using.

[@toxictophat711]

@@opera93 wonder how that went I changed my dads truck to royal purple and we ran a k and n a wix air filter we did the exact same out of town trip and actually got really good mpg improvement unfortunately the truck doesn't have a mpg reader or anything but we didn't spend $200 on gas we used around $120 it was impressive to say the least and this was hauling a Nissan 300zx back home

[@ancienthistory6919]

been using regular oil filters and regular oil and guess what our suv has 272,000 miles no issues, oil changes every 4k.

[@CarsNToys]

Good info. Thank you.

[@arthursmith643]

$17-19 dollars. RP and Amsoil. Go with the Fram ultra synthetic. Under $10.00 at Walmart. For the few extra bucks you can get two Fram ultra synthetic filters.

[@brandon.karnes]

Fram is junk

[@matthewstorm5188]

As far as micron ratings, are the manufacturers in any way required to make good on them? In other words, are these numbers legit, or are they something manufacturers can just throw out there? In this case, is it possible that Amsoil is just throwing out a better number on the exact same filter (as Royal Purple) in order to justify asking $2 more?

[@ascensionarms3283]

Good question

[@toxictophat711]

Idk I know on car amplifiers it's a unregulated market so no regulations on how they rate there products unfortunately this breeds uniformed people who don't understand 15 amps don't make 1200 watts like there amp says

[@nycalien]

Used RP filter and Liqui-Moly 0w20 oil last change.decided to change oil around 4500 miles and 45% on oil life indicator. The oil is thick black and very think. Thicker than the original 0w20 thickness. I never had this issue before. Never had black colored oil after 4500 miles. I wonder if the filter is not doing a good job filtering. I'm using Idemitsu oil with the RP filter. Ran about 700 miles so far and the oil color is already getting dark. I'm not sure if RR is a good filter after all.

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Very Nice Review! Great explanation of the bypass and drainback valves. Does the Wix XP not have a bypass valve? That and slightly less filter micron size is the only difference I see between it and these 2. I have always used Amsoil Ea filters but I am on a fixed income now and think I will stay with the Wix XPs I have been using .

[@CarsNToys]

I like Wix xp as well. And yes, Wix has a bypass valve.

[@350toocute]

Looks like both amsoil/royal purple are made from the same co.I have always used royal purple oil for the last 15 yrs.I`ve never used neither of the oil filters from royal purple nor amsoil.The royal purple must be a good filter.If their comparing it to amsoil.

[@daoudaqtash9243]

You have no idea what you talking about. Amsoil don’t make their own oil filters. Amsoil and Royal Purple oil filters are by Champion labs.

[@fikreyt]

Hey Cars n Toys... Love all the videos, very informative. I have a 97 Maxima that I run Mobil 1 Extended performance with a Mobil 1 filter. How long do you go before oil changes since we share the same vehicle? They say both can go up to 15 K but I change oil around 7-8K each time. Thanks for the insight.

[@aza04a]

I’ve gone 0 to 200k+ in a couple vehicles with that combo doing 10k changes, now I do 7-8k, shorter intervals than that if it’s direct injection or turbo.

[@JerseyFrank007]

Any Chace you can touch on filtration properties (micron percentages and flow rates) and pressure relief psi tensions within your reviews? That's truly the important information.

[@CarsNToys]

Appreciate the feedback. Thank you.

[@davidcontreras2422]

You think changing your motor oil every 6,000 miles is wasting money, should we go 8,000 miles on a Royal Purple Oil filter and Royal Purple Motor oil? what you think?

[@CarsNToys]

I think it depends on the vehicle. For example, newer vehicles can go longer between oil changes. Following the owners manual is a very good guide to go by.

[@davidcontreras2422]

Thank You.

[@RelaxAndSmokeMeth]

I've gone 7,000mi on a Royal Purple filter with Redline Oil and sent in the oil for an analysis. No issues. The filter was noticeably heavier after the change.

[@sgtnocasiousmc]

Great video!!! 👏Very informative!!!👌 Thumbs Up!!! 👍

[@rockallday0]

Is it too late to add Mobil 1 extended into the mix of comparison??

[@no65mph]

Great video again but it's "AMS OIL". Not AM SOIL. look at the graphic on all their products including the oil filter. The color of the words is a clue. But great videos regardless.

[@CarsNToys]

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it.

[@christopherwilliams4647]

I bet you feel smarter now......

[@sgtnocasiousmc]

Now!!! Can you please go on a little bit further on the microns please???🤔😐, and I apologize for the question, thanks man, love your videos, keep up with the good work...

[@CarsNToys]

Thanks man. Appreciate the feedback.

[@MrArcticShadow]

Further on the microns?! He already explained how small that is in this video. You want him to pull out a microscope and a lab coat and see them?! You want him to show you a math equation that proves 20 microns is less than 25 microns? Besides 5 microns is probably within the sampling error of whatever back-alley study the moneybags at Amsoil used to justify charging 2 dollars more on these otherwise identical products. That means they're really the same! Go back to school and turn your brain on!

[@NeverBeDaunted]

I think you might have misconstrued Nelson's request for more details about microns. Does a lower micron combined with more filtering square inches help or impeded the filtration/flow. Is double the surface area always best and if so, then why don't they specify that on the box? There are a dozen questions that Nelson might have held when asking this question. It's a valid one. And I think your response is rather rude.

[@MrArcticShadow]

Well, then it's up to him to elaborate what he meant. What the heck does "further on the microns" supposed to mean? Any half intelligent person seriously trying to understand a topic would ask a question that shows a certain level of awareness, context, and effort in phrasing their questions to make it easier for anyone with expertise on the topic to answer. This guy on the other hand shows no effort in trying to construct a question that specifies which parts of the topic they are having a hard time understanding, a blatant disregard for any amount of time the content creator spent in researching the topic already, and a clear laziness reminiscent of someone that skips class and then has the audacity to ask a fellow student if they can copy the homework solutions. Sure my comment may be rude but, unlike you, I don't look at a poorly phrased comment on KZbin, with three punctuation marks at the end of sentences, and presume it was written by an intelligent being deserving of the same level of respect and consideration that I would give to a colleague at work--and my response to Nelson reflects that.

[@calisfinest3051]

+MrArcticShadow lmao wtf

[@kevinwalsh9725]

What many videos do not show is how Motorcraft Filters are one of only few companies using a thread end bypass, Wix, Napa, and Royal Purple all had outstanding design and when they got bought out, the designs changed and in my opinion they are a cheap design. No longer made with highest quality. Royal Purple Filters, Napa Gold and Wix have all changed from a nice steel base plate with thread end bypass, Silicone ADBV, evenly spaced holes and steel coil spring, solid canister casing. It would be interesting comparison how they have changed. Now Purolator is better than those. I currently use Motorcraft although I know they use a leaf spring and the Purolator is a decent design, the Boss is nice and it shows filter media is better than Motorcraft. Not a fan of dome end bypass. Many new oil filters displayed in videos don't even come close to what RP and Napa Wix used to be years ago. The new ACDelco E core is an embarrassment. Why do these companies think they can change a proven design and still have a loyal following for a cheaper product. They must think customers don't notice. I expected K and N to be higher quality, the dome end bypass design is cheap and does not look built with durability.

[@arthursmith643]

Give up that $12.00 crappy draft beer you buy at a sports event and put the money towards a real filter. Royal Purple.

[@Twelper]

So idea for a follow-up video. From what I remember on the box for my RP filter, it says made under license from Champion. For my 01' Passat the Champion COS8994 fits and based on pictures looks nearly the same, but costs roughly $5 less than the RP. Is it possible they're identical kinda like the RP and Amsoil but without the fancy powder coat? Would be really interested to see! Otherwise love your work and you've been very informative informal and useful in my gear head journey 🙂

[@SlikLizrd]

The Royal Purple Oil Filters are wildly over-priced !! The Bosch Premium has a better (20 Micron) rating, similar features, and costs about half of the RP's high price.

[@MrGarteck]

Champion Labs , construye los filtros para royal purple y otras marcas mas.

[@QUAKEPOWERZ]

ROYAL PURPLE ✨✨👑💜💯

[@arthursmith643]

CarsNToys, people spend $10-$12.00 on a crappy draft beer at a ball game but get cheap when it comes to their oil filters. What’s with that?

[@opera93]

Good overview: Interestingly, I would like to SEE : PERFORMAX PO-167 OIL FILTERS, now made in USA ( DIST BY BOPUS PROSUCTS, BOX 4427, Houston TX), though past four years have been “ MADE IN MEXICO”, & no BOPUS....). Apparently , PERFORMAX are used in a lot of Places..thesE come thru :: Dodge Dealer Oil CHANGE Program, with Conventional MOPAR 5 W-20 @3000/3 mo....etc.

[@TheRachelabomb]

Great video thanks for sharing!

[@mogtrader8]

do you know if the quality is still the same in 2017?

[@MrMagichobo21]

mogtrader8 I don't think that much will have changed in a year, unless there's something about royal purple that I don't know about.

[@MrAsus3571]

great vid in i just put a wix in my wifes 09 vibe and was wondering do you think it would be ok to use an oil extractor pull the oil out refill and just keep the filter in and change it at the next oil change? will be using full syn thanks

[@CarsNToys]

Thank you. I wouldn't. You'll be able to pull the oil but any contaminants will remain inside the filter media.

[@MrAsus3571]

CarsNToys so you dont believe a high quality filter like the wix 57064 could go 2oci's on full syn? then change on the third oil change

[@HimmelWeint]

MrAsus3571 When you shower do you change your underwear? Same principle don't cheap out and replace the filter when you do your oil change it's not going to cost much more anyways.

[@agm5148]

Thank you!

[@sthier24]

great vid...thks

[@bobbya.5489]

Please show us on you tube,How they test measurement that filter 20 OR 25 micron?just need to Know-How( or How it made to mesure the micron test)the Lab test to confirm filter is for 20 or 25 micron even 2 micron on by pass filter,Thanks in advance

[@CarsNToys]

ISO would have the results.

[@wobblysauce]

Is this a reupload?

[@gabvela8192]

No. Different product review man

[@Van_frederick]

subbed

[@CarsNToys]

Thank you. Cheers

[@phillip_mcguinness7025]

Methinks Amsoil buys their filters from Royal Purple then re-brands, throw in some marketing BS, and walah.

[@JazzyJonas]

Both are made by Champion labs. Same synthetic media made by Donaldson. Amsoil's version is more expensive, but no better/worse.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Both must be made by WIX....I know AMS is..

[@nycalien]

Even Wix XP filter is also sold in Amsoil site.

[@marshallcollins8634]

I know it's picking butt your pronunciation of amsoil grove me nuts .You did pronounce it properly a few times many by accident don't understand that. Just my 2cents worth

[@CarsNToys]

Thank you.

[@goru426]

First!
