Royal Purple HPS, should I switch??

[vetteeatinsnake]

Thinking of switching to the new(er) RP HPS. From reading on RP's site it sounds like a good product. I also spoke to Jimmy a while back on the phone about it when I called RP and he had some good things to say about it. Plus, it's 10 cent cheaper on summit then regular RP 5w30 is here at the parts store! What do you guys think? Thanks,

Jimmy put up a lot of great info on this subject in this thread. You'll enjoy the read.

Good info ^^^ ... for a Street / Strip car I'd go with the RP HPS!

Any car that is not under warranty should be using the HPS version of our oil. It's not that much more money and the upgrade in protection is significant.

All engines can benefit from better protection, be it a performance car or not. Everyone wants their stuff to last as long as possible.

The only cars that have to run an API licensed oil are cars that have to because warranty compliance dictates it.

After reading the reviews and data for the RP HPS, I bought 7 qts. and a RP oil filter. Its waiting to go in after I break in the new gears :rockon:

I'm Going to pick up some of this HPS oil for my Cobra real soon... Run RP in my truck! love this stuff.:thumbsup:

Yup I'm still leaning towards going with the new hps, currently I use mobil 1 extended performance. I'd likely buy the RP in bulk though, as no auto places here carry it yet. I plan on using a motorcraft filter and I put roughly less than 2k miles a year.

Updated availability info.

Due to Royal Purple HPS being a new product this year, you are not likely to find it on a local store shelf. However eventually a special order should be possible at your local O’Reilly’s, or NAPA. Also in some regions Advanced Auto, Carquest and Pep Boys may also be able to special order HPS for you.

When getting HPS locally does not work out it is definitely available and shipping online at:
