where can I get some Royal Purple oil?

 

IMO just use mobil 1 if u want true synthetic. It's not worth the hassle to search for royal puprle.

 

I get mine through JEGGS ... it ships out quick but is a little more expensive than Mobil 1 .... I like it though.

 

Mobil 1 would work just fine.

 

I get mine from a place called Automotive Engineering, but we're on opposite sides of the nation so I doubt you have one. And I only use the transmission fluid and rear gear oil. Oil....Mobil 1 all the way.

well i always use mobil 1 , and I just wanted to try Royal Purple once.

 

Mobile 1 may not be TRUE synth

Here is some info from another board:
* The term synthetic does not tell anything nowadays. You may have heard that the Castrol Syntec uses a Group III hydrocracked base stock but call it synthetic. The Group III hydrocracked base stock is a super refined crude oil stock, i.e., dino.

* Well, Mobile 1 lost that advertising battle in court against Castrol, so they started the tri-synthetic by mixing some Group III hydrocracked base stock in their "synthetic" oil. If you look at the Mobile 1 spec sheets on their Website, these oils are called hydrocarbons now.

* So now only Amsoil, Quaker State, Pennzoil, and Vavoline, plus a few others are truly "synthetic".

* Give Pennzoil credit as they use "PureBase" base stock in their $0.99 per quart oil (when on sale). These are the same hydrocracked base stock others call "synthetic".

* The recent Ford 5w-20 oil also uses a hydrocracked base stock. I guess at that light viscosity, the regular Group I or II base stock just won't cut it.

* Chevron Delo 400 15W-40 uses a Group II base stock. Mobile Delvac 15W-40 used use a Group II base stock but the "new" recipe mixes some Group I base stock in it to "increase performance". Shell Rotella uses only Group I base stock and that is why it is kind of inferior in many properties such as pour point, flash point, etc.

 

hmmm.. Many have done Oil analysis on Mobil 1 so I'll keep using it since they took the time and $ to send it out to get it checked..

I tried Amsoil.. You can get it cheaper if you are a "dealer" for them which costs a little to get but gets you a cheaper price on the oil. I didnt see any worthwile gain other than the shipped to your door ease..

I am now using Mobil 1. I only do changes when the car tells me too..


I know people that work at Royal Purple and was going to use them, but decided that it wasnt worth it. .Costs more and no HP benefit.. and I doubt that there will be any real noticeable engine wear difference.
