Royal Purple?

[2qwikSVT]

Do any of you guys run that Royal Purple synthetic oil? If so, how long have you ran it and do you have the stock block?

I have heard of Ford telling people that the RPL oil can ruin the 5.4 motor. Don't know if that was the newer three valve 5.4 or our 2 valves, or if that makes a difference.

I've always put regular Valvoline through mine and change it every 3,000 but I was thinkin about stepping it up and using some synthetic stuff and everyone has told me they love Royal Purple.

Or should I just use Mobil 1 / Castrol synthetic?

Whoever was telling you that needs to quit talking about cars because they obviously know nothing about the subject.

I've been running RP in my L for years and usually change it about once per year because I don't drive it a lot. If you're thinking about running RP I suggest you look into their HPS line. It's the good stuff.

I used RP for awhile, but when it started pushing $10/qt, I left the building. Ridiculous!

I agree, that's pretty damn expensive. I've been thinking of giving this one a try:

Purchase Pennzoil Ultra 5W30 Motor Oil, 5 Qt for less at Walmart.com. Save money. Live better.

Yep, that's what I'm running in my Cobra right now. Once my L's motor gets rebuilt, I will be running it in there as well.

Ran RP in my L for eight years and had no issues.:beer:

 

[Robert Francis]

I used RP in my 01L for about 8 years with no problems. However when it got to $8 a qt a few years ago, I switched to Mobil 1.

Menards has a special on Quaker State full synthetic every so often. 6 qts of 5W-30 for $299/qt after the rebate. Can't beat that!

I actually get my RP Oil from a ford car parts here local so I don't think they would sale it if to was bad and I get a discount I get it at 6.75 a quart so I love it

 

[2qwikSVT]

I work at a small town parts house, so I only pay 6.50 per qt. So it's not too bad for me.

People have had issues with RP in the past. Noisy valve train and so on. Some hate it and some love it. I always use mobile 1 syn but have RP in almost everything else. oh i do run XPR in the SC's though.

 

[Canadian_Bacon]

I used RP once. I experienced the noisy valve train so I changed to Amsoil after the oil change was due, no problems with Amsoil. It all comes out the same.

I have been using RP for years , yes it is expensive but normally I only need one oil change a year so I run Royal Purple oil and filter in my Mach1 .
