Nope. Oil still looked new. Who ever decided to put the fill nozzle over the manifold should be slapped tho.

No worse than Ford's tranny fluid placements lol!

royal purp every month but then again i drive a 03 evo 8

unless you're driving 3k+ miles per month that's a great way to fuck up your engine and an enormous waste of money.

and choose your oil better.

enlighten me great master on why royal purp isnt great oil?

if you look at some real post change tests and some non-RP R&D data on their oil, you'd know that it has a tendancy to run thin at high temps and can actually be attributed to premature engine failure.

run a better synthetic. do some research. most synthetics out there are just snake oil that do more harm than good. RP is one of the worst offenders of this, and it costs a fucking arm and a leg to be changing it every month.

What about mobil 1?

depends where you buy it. i've heard good and bad. sounds fishy but my parts store guy tells me that the mobil1 that ends up in stores like walmart is horseshit.

castrol syntec is a good daily synthetic.

Well I got Mobil super 5000 mile oil for free so I used it lol. It was bought from oriellys tho

royal purple is no better the conventional oil, and you are not in an application that needs any specific special oil.

if you needed a performance oil, with more zinc or a lighter weight i still would tell you not to use royal purple, its junk
