[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 11271702, member: 11681"] Since I have been answering calls and emails here in the tech department, some of the personal experience testimonies from race car owners, engine builders and grass roots enthusiasts have been very encouraging, THE WORD IS GETTING OUT. Royal Purple is less and less being thought of as snake oil and more and more being considered a secret weapon. However a secret weapon that is becoming less secret every year. Street vehicle engines are normally not torn down unless something seriously bad happens, on these cars it's usually detonation destroyed pistons that no oil on the planet could have saved. Though exhaust guide wear(tick) is real and not really all that rare. Race engines are regularly torn down so feed back is more frequent and comments are usually weighted differently given the level of expertise of [I]most[/I] of the builders. [B]Oils have come a long way though and even regular maintenance with normal every day conventional oils can produce amazingly high mileages on today's roller follower, roller chain engines. 90s through early 2000s vintage Lincoln Town cars with 300,000+ miles on the original engines are not uncommon.[/B] Royal Purple is for the folks who want more than just good. For sure film strength matters, especially on start ups but also near the end of a 20 minute session. If I can use an oil with the most film strength I can find, as long as there are no other short comings like some additives are known to have, then that's what I'll run. [/QUOTE]
