[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 13193870, member: 112023"] The only sample I have seen is from Sid's SVTP Mustang GT. I'm awaiting a UOA follow up to see if the viscosity is reduced the same again. Which is why it's good to run the same lubricant over a longer period of time to map trends. I am currently testing a 1 year run of Royal Purple 5W-30 (non-HPS) lubricant in a 2004 Lincoln Town Car. Previously, a one year interval was run with Amsoil Signature Series ATM 10W-30. We can compare results on the completion of this run. Currently, the car has just under 100,000 miles on it. Annual mileage ranges from 10,000 to 12,000 miles. Sure they can, however....the API isn't playing the game fair when it comes to true synthetic base stocks. Now, I already know what you are thinking.... "Royal Purple 5W-30 (non-HPS) is a true synthetic base stock, and it's API SN certified. Therefore, Amsoil should be certified as well if it truly could pass the certification." Well, that's where I will have to disagree with you. Royal Purple's reformulation is being exposed for what it is, another Mobil 1 and Castrol sell out. Do you recall when the big oil companies substituted hydrocracked petroleum in place of true PAO/Ester base stocks, then hid the change from their customers? I sure do, and have the smoking gun to prove it. In the last test run from PQI America, many different off the shelf synthetics were tested. I was shocked when I viewed NOACK Volatility of 10.9% in Royal Purple's new API SN formulation. This is a dead giveaway that it's now using hydrocracked petroleum in the formulation, no longer the true PAO/Ester blend it was during the "old bottle" era.
