I use to have a 2001 Ford Mustang 3.8L V6 5 speed manual that I bought from a friend he only trusted Pennzoil but not after I bought it from him & gave it the RP treatment.

I started using Royal Purple in '98, and I haven't looked back. If you're trying it out after your initial warranty, then I highly recommend using their HPS (High Performance Street), which has double the film strength additive (Synerlec), or the XPR (Xtreme Performance Racing), which has quadruple the quantity of the Synerlec additive package. I've personally seen fuel economy increases from 10% to over 30%, and all my engines run cooler and quieter. I've been happy with it for over 25 years. Great video series! Thanks for making it!

I have been using Royal Purple in my vehicles for 20 years. I do think it is one of the best on the market. I build my own engines for street use and performance upgrades for over 30 years. I get my oil tested by Blackstone Labs after every oil change for my vehicles. That is the only real way to know if the oil is protecting the engine. I would also recommend Royal Purple HPS series. It has all the good anti wear and lubricant additives that are stripped out due to the EPA in the API rated oils. I also think Mobil 1 is a good alternative to Royal Purple. I have had it tested with good results. I have never used Amsoil, so no real world experience with it. However, when I started using Royal Purple, Amsoil at the time was blocking 3rd party labs from testing and publishing the results. You could only get test results directly from Amsoil. Royal Purple allowed 3rd parties to test their lubricants and publish the results. That was one thing that caused me to choose RP over Amsoil. That was many years ago so they may be different today.

[@dustsmoke]

Dropped all the oil drop out of an engine with 220k miles due to a plug falling out during rush hour traffic with royal purple in it. (my fault, got side tracked and didn't tighten it) Oil pressure light came on and I had no shoulder to pull off for 6-8 miles through interchanges. It would have been a bad day for everybody else if I stopped in the middle of the lane. Thought the engine was toast because I could hear the pistons making horrible sounds by the time I could shut it down. Slightly turned it over with the starter from time to time as it cooled down. Plugged the hole in the pan on the side of the road and filled it up with whatever I could get my hands on to drive it home. It drove but decided that night I was going to sell it before it got worse. Depending on how bad it was I'd be selling it to a greasy used car lot or if it was mostly okay I'd sell it privately with disclosure. Did a leak down test and still had less than 15% loss on the valves and rings and all cyl lined up with each other. Put magnets on everything and cut all of the filters apart for 4 x 5k oil changes without metal flakes in anything. Even looked down a the walls with a scope and saw nothing. Its basically fine so I never ended up selling it. That was about 20k miles ago and since then I've rebuilt the whole front end. Whole car drives like it did when it was brand new. I have no idea how that engine survived and I can't really say for sure it was due to RP. But that became a bit of a data point for me personally. I put it in everything now.

[@gslife1]

I use RP on my Dodge Cummins Diesel and I change the oil every 10K miles. Truck motor runs super quiet and I’ve never had any issues.

[@CSXT8250]

I inherited my mother's 98 Grand Am GT coupe back in '12. Only had 80k on it and it was still like new. Traveling 140 miles a day between Pa and Md for work it became my beater. Pennzoil Platinum immediately changed every 2k for first three changes. Blackstone lab sample at third change. Oil leaks riddled, then stopped. I switched to Amzoil 0w30 for winter. By 242k miles in early 2018 I decided to sell it. The V6 did not loose ANY oil in 5k mile intervals. NAPA or K&N filter always. According to final oil sample the motor showed no additional wear from beginning to end. I never drove before warmed up but, I was not easy on this car by any means. By that I'm saying... It saw 6k rpm pretty regularly maneuvering highway traffic average speeds 80-100 cruise. (Keeping up with traffic) I stayed with Pennzoil Platinum not because of price, rather the consensus by fact and lab report that Royal Purples OCI must be closer together because the additive package tends to fade faster and show wear sooner. OTOH, I've seen proof on a Modular 3v 4.6 treated to Royal Purple at 35k miles cams have no wear. As in ZERO. No silver on lobes... Nothing. Whereas another also with aftermarket cams running AMZOIL did and lobes were shiny like all cams should... so?!?

[@ToxicA55hat]

Comparing 2 engines with different or unknown maintenance records is kinda not a comparison. Every oil has different additive packages. Choosing the right oil for it's additives will net you the results you are asking from that oil. examples: If you need sludge and build up removal. You should choose an oil with higher levels of detergents. If you are breaking in an engine you should choose an oil with higher levels of Zinc. If you are daily driving your vehicle with moments of spirited driving. Choose a well balanced quality oil and change it at recommended intervals. If you are at the track or strip regularly, use high performance oils more resistant to thermal breakdown. There is no miracle oil that does everything really good. The idea of using a high detergent oil to clean an (unknown maintenance schedule)high mileage engine for a short period of time is just good common sense. The oil condition gives you tons of information as to the condition of the engine. This is the 21st century. For a very small cost. You can have your oil analysed. This will tell you exactly how your oil and filter are performing. If you have bearing material, ring material, sleeve material, thermal breakdown, fuel, water, exhaust gas contamination... everything you need to know... Relying on opinions about how oils perform in unknown conditions is just not effective. When you can get the facts from a simple oil sample when you change the oil.

Clean out oil? The key is a series of frequent oil and filter changes at low mileage intervals, 1500-2000 miles. Just use a high detergent conventional like Pennzoil with low OCIs. No sense wasting money on expensive synthetic oils to clean. Do the clean up with conventional then run your synthetics. As for the best oil to use afterwards? No way of telling unless you perform oil analysis. You can rave about RP but what does a UOA reveal about how it runs in your particular engine?

[@noclass2gun342]

The idea of running a high grade synthetic is to extend maintenance intervals and increase overall service life.

But with that being said I ran royal purple in my Silverado for awhile and when I was changing out the cam and valve springs the first thing my step dad and I noticed was how clean it was. I've since switched over to Shell Rotella now that I'm turbocharged but it might be worth running some royal purple every few oil changes for a cleaning.

[@46doch]

Redline to me dose the best in keeping the engine clean and great for turbos

[@TenzaMotorsports]

Thats what the doctors recommend!

[@AmericanSmallArms]

Another vote for Redline here.

[@mountainmanjim6366]

Only confirming why I will be switching to Royal Purple at my next change. Thank you

[@rodrigocasimbon5242]

Been using royal purple for years now,and my engine purrs like a kitten ,not bad for a 136,000 miles motor!

[@rodrigocasimbon5242]

By the way my engine was a lemon until Toyota fixed it, remember the burning oil 2008 rav4 engine?

[@DanTheManIOM]

Once I bougth a old New Yorker, changed the oil, drove 100 miles and it was black, changed it again, went to 500 miles, black again, changed again..I'm guessing it looked like the ebay engine. Also, had an old 1953 packard and an old book on car care whcih said- warm engine, drop oil, run 10 weight (you could buy it on the shelf back inthe 80's, drop that and refill....after 2 min, that 10 weight was black

[@dragking9735]

i think it difers only in place, humidity, temperature something like that, and also the engine ur using, the oil pump pressure and how the oil circulate around the engine,

[@Jaydem2805]

I drive a 2018 Ford fiesta...and the only oil I use is royal purple 5w20 paired with a Wix filter. The oil interval is every 10000 miles, buuut I change it every 3000 to 3500 miles. Iv taken the head and oil pan off multiple times (upgraded cams,valves and springs, also the oil pan when I upgraded the oil pump to a heavier duty oil pump. I have around 6000 miles on the cams and still the lobes look brand new. I know it's not alot of miles on them but the royal purple is worth the money in my book. Some might not agree but that's what makes the motorsports scene awesome. Work with what you have and make it do what you want. Royal purple has always delivered for me.

[@1STGeneral]

I thought about a possible purchase but shipping kept me from having a bmw motor hanging on the front of the boat but now I've seen the inside of a bmw safety box nice parking space

[@coltonhart7660]

Looks like Royal Purple is some good stuff. I've always kept "to the books" on my vette. its from 2003 and its completely original all stock. i only run what the service manual says. which is mobil one. but im thinking this might be an upgrade. i'll give it a shot. :) thanks for all the valuable info and recording and hard work on all this! not a lot of people have the time and patience to sit there and record all this and edit everything for other people to watch.

[@TenzaMotorsports]

Thank you for watching I am glad you enjoyed it!

[@harrykoyl3784]

Careful on that, because Mobile 1, and RP, have been on the top 5 of all best oils lists that I have seen... A Walmart near me has Mobil 1 under lock and key, in a case! Wacky!?!

[@dfls5069]

@@TenzaMotorsports Royal purple 10W40 is labelled as a "motorcycle & ATV" oil... why is that ? If a European car takes 10W40 is it ok to use RP 10W40 ?

[@SnakeDoctor5104]

Royal Purple was shown to not do well in the Nissan VQ motor by one of the UOA labs, based on numerous results. But Pennzoil Platinum performed extremely well according to them, so that's what I use. Pennzoil Ultra is even better.

[@jagl19]

Great videos ..! i think this is the best way to compare and see what good some product does to your engine.. not lab tests but real driving test..!!

[@HectorGarcia-ww5do]

I have a 2014 Cadillac xts vsport with 41k got it 3 years ago with 17k after the warranty when out from dealer (free oil change) I switched to Royal Purple now that I do my own work on my car & love it I noticed not much burn off & when I change the oil at 20% it's still purple & I'm not having to add oil as well when I do an Italian Tune up on highway on long Road trips

[@mobmiavero1]

Just did an oil change on my 2017 Buick Regal GS. This will be my first time trying ROYAL PURPLE and the reason I didn’t get the AMSOIL is because the Royal Purple is more widely available at retailers than the Amsoil.

[@TenzaMotorsports]

That is a downside to Amsoil. You can buy Amsoil one place here locally and Royal Purple is sold at 7+ locations.

[@e303gt]

I used royal purple in my old 5.0. After I blew the engine messing around with a dry 100 shot. The machine shop that built rebuilt my engine called me and asked me how old the engine was and what oil I used. Told him I got the car with 70k miles and had been running royal purple in it since the day I got it. I blew it up at around 180k miles. Dude said everything was still within factory specs except for the melted piston. Said he'd never seen a motor in such good condition. A few years ago I got a mach 1 and couldn't immediately find royal purple so I used mobile 1 and decided to keep using it just because it was more available. When I went to a teksid block I tore down my old engine and everything was clean as hell. So I stick to royal purple and mobile one.

[@purebreddead]

I use Mobil 1 synthetic. 296k 96 sentra, 251k 04 element

[@shawnmiller9381]

Just a point - you should never lay a crankshaft on its side like that uninstalled. They are stored on the end to eliminate warpage. Ask any machine shop. If let too long like that it will warp and become junk.

[@bones6554]

If your that worried about it don't buy one from a store. I work for a shipping company and we get pallet loads of them. None of them are standing on end and are stacked on top of one another, skids weigh around 2500lbs. I know they are packaged for shipping but they are stacked about 4 to 5 foot high. Theese things ride (bounceing) in back of tractor trailers riding down the highway.

[@michaelducoing8264]

I had similar results running Mobil 1 Extended Performance on my 1997 Dakota and 2003 Corolla. Valve cover was very clean. Dakota had over 100k Corolla had just under 110k.

[@justaname1862]

Yes definately get rid of the Mobil...ill put up a link on an independant test done here in Australia (harsh conditions) for various oils inc Royal Purple....most of the big names like Shell, Mobil and Castrol were big fails...

[@justaname1862]

I cant actually find the link...it was done a while ago...i still have a copy of it but would have to email it to you if you wanted a copy....it was actually fairly scary how bad Mobil was. I use Royal Purple in my performance car and either Valvoline or Penrite in my dailys.

[@georgeweeks4137]

Used royal purple 10w30 in a 2001 dodge ram 318 4x4 sport since bought new. Had @ 350,000 miles on it before a head gasket blew and I drove the truck too long wounded. Hauled loads and beat the shit out of that motor beforehand and can contest it was because of this brand of oil. Plus changed the oil every 8,000 miles.

[@warriorofhall]

I use Castrol edge have the same effect but would be nice to try RP for fun, but have no clue where to get it in Norway tho😂

[@TristianWrites]

This was a interesting test. I don’t really have an opinion on oil at the moment. But I’d be willing to do a test once my engine rebuild is finished.

[@chrisflair9596]

I've used Mobil 1 in my 2004 f150 what has 270,000 miles on it now and still runs like a champ I do get it on the highway and occasionally run it hard to burn carbon but I do know purple is a good oil to I used to use it in the past

[@justaname1862]

Royal Purple is simply the best...have ran it since my cars were brand new....try running Royal Purple coolant as well...Gday from Australia.

Thanks for the comment!

[@marksmopar609]

I'm on the fence about oils that get dirty quickly,I don't like running all that crud through the eng,seems like they start burning oil sooner.

Your oil filter should be keep it from going into your engine

[@DanTheManIOM]

I was thinking the same thing, look at that floor

[@uccoskun]

too clean to tear an engine apart.

Used Royal Purple in my Typhoon and Syclone for years. I believe it’s better then the competitors. I used Mobile 1 synthetic prior thinking I was doing the right thing. It’s good stuff but.

[@nastyrex4302]

I was just looking at Typhoons and Syclones tonight. Prices sure have jumped since last time I looked

[@Elements153]

So that wired nut u have, u angled the lockwire the wrong way (counter-clockwise), meaning the nut will come lose to a certain point. You want to angle the lock wire clockwise so it holds the nut in place. I work on aircraft and nearly every nut and bolt on them are lockwired.

[@TenzaMotorsports]

It’s reverse thread

[@olegs79]

Jesus. That's one clean garage. Mine has oil stained paper towels and leafs from trees everywhere.

[@motorhead915]

Oleg S grab a broom then, maybe?

[@SnakeGako]

I have a feeling that the cleaning additives in RP may have contributed to the nut loosening? Maybe the thread locker got cleaned away by oil detergents?

[@cjCHR]

Andrew I was once told that to never put any engine cleaner on my 2003 330ci. That It can loosen anything that’s inside the engine because it’s an older car. Probably that nut was loosen because it got cleaned.

[@kimo796]

Valvoline high-mileage maxlife full synthetic. With a half quart of transmission fluid or marvels mystery oil. Amazing results of cleanliness I recommend giving it a try

[@gregthornthwaite8011]

I think that one of the heads had a problem with fuel mixture on # 3 Inlet valves, or possibly oil consumption problem some where in #3 cylinder ?? All the best from Australia.

That’s a very high probability. I’ll never find out now and we cleaned the build up off the new engine

Are you using the HPF royal purple or regular? I switched to Valvoline vr1 from Royal purple.

[@tricky778]

Do you think the Royal Purple caused that loose nut (eg, by taking away deposits that were holding it tight after wear and tear) ?

[@kieranhutchinson2603]

Tristan Wibberley it’s a common issue on these engines

[@oof578]

So should you use royal for CLEANING engines or is it better to always run it in your vehicles?

[@danielcarcamo6336]

You sir are a master at work. My only opinion here is... You should sand blast that engine to make it look new. Looks pretty dirty.

[@roadrocket7770]

I have a 2019 dodge ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi V8. I only use amsoil. I also drive 90% freeway miles. How often is good for me to run WOT and how often is too much? I want my truck to be problem free as long as possible

[@patdennis3751]

Just kick it down occasionally while passing or getting on the freeway. No need to run WOT for more than several seconds a few times a week to keep the carbon blown out. If you use top tier fuel like Shell and an oil designed for turbo engines, you won't get all that carbon build up on pistons and valves. .

[@CobraChipper]

Amsoil signature series is the best. I’ve seen videos that tested Royal purple and Amsoil signature series hot and Extreme cold tests and wear tests and Amsoil came out on top.

[@yudax5057]

CobraChipper Agree! I noticed my engine has less vibration when running the signature 5w50

[@matty2helpfull]

I used royal purple once in my truck and its a older truck with high miles i never thought about the fact that it was cleaning my engine my truck used a quart every 1000 miles on it so that gave me a bad taste in my mouth but after seeing this i might git it another go plus i have been running ams oil in my 00 bmw 323i and i have been happy with it but i might try royal purple in that too seeing these videos.

[@Tomtom88983]

Mr Farmer2012 you might find with high milage engines that some of your dirt/sludge/carbon buildup may actually be sealing your engine from oil leaks, RP might be cleaning all that buildup away and letting oil leak from the engine.

[@motorradingaround1220]

Per my comment on part 2 only other thing you could have done was change oil filter at 1000 miles after switching to royal purple so it keeps from having pressure restriction

[@ruslankozodoy4898]

Royal purple is good oil but when I ran it my race car, I kept breaking seals. After i switched to redline, the problem went away but in no way I am talking bad about royal purple. It’s just my experience

[@TenzaMotorsports]

Really appreciate the comment!

[@robertogomez8100]

Have tryed many oils in my 325i 2010 and my MKX 2011 first one I use 0w-40 second one 5w-20 or 0w-20. First case best results Castrol Edge 0w-40 and second one Eneos 0w-20.

[@monroebass2]

You do a nice job on your videos,thanks. All my vehicles, presently a 2010 5.3 V8 Avalanche and 3.6 V6 Traverse , my 2006 Goldwing, and Honda Rancher use Amsoil Signature Series oil. I use the their filter and have never changed the vehicle oils before 25000 miles. The Avalanche has 170,000 miles and oil changes look look like the oil is just slightly discolored. If you apply for the preferred customer ($25) the oil is discounted 25%. I wish you would do a video using Amsoil!

[@TenzaMotorsports]

I Appreciate the comment. I do plan on doing further testing with other oils. stay tuned!

[@harrykoyl3784]

Have had the same results with Royal Purple! When my truck was brand new, the oil looked a little dark for the first few changes, but stays light longer, now. Started changing oil twice a year! Still runs, and performs like new, or better, and passes SMOG test in flying colors...

[@Lucifer_334]

I tried Pennzoil ultra and it was amazing. I changed my oil last week sadly I didn’t find Pennzoil so i went for Royal purple I hope these stuff are good.
