Best oil out there! Want better gas mileage and higher performance? Use Royal Purple and see for yourself. I use the 5w20 in a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.7 HEMI. It cost more because your getting more in every quart. Try it and like me you won't use any thing else in your car or truck. See Facts that I researched before I started using Royal Purple. Do the research or try it for youself before you lend judgements on items or comments by those who have. Of course, buyer always beware.

I have a 1998 ford taurus with 156,000 miles on it. I have been running RP since my mother gave me the car at 120,000 miles. Since then, this car has been resurrected from death. It may be due to the synthetic oils in general, but there is still something to be said about RP specifically. Royal Purple has a high film strength. That property is the single reason for its lubricating superiority -- which results in more horsepower, less friction, less emissions, greater efficiency, and greater fuel economy. I've been using the k&n air filter, RP synthetic, and the RP oil filter. On the drive from Columbus to Philadelphia, the total number of miles traversed over the number of gallons used was equivalent to 30 miles per gallon. This car, stock, was designed to get an EPA estimated 27 miles per gallon. This improvement is no doubt due to a combination of factors including aftermarket iridium bosch spark plugs, royal purple synthetic oil & filter, and the k&n air filter. If you look up the falex lubricity test of this oil compared to the other major synthetic brands, you find that RP is demonstrated to outperform.. However, it's not clear that the all of the independent variables in the experiment were controlled. Specifically heat may not have been controlled, and as the third trial was conducted on RP, there is the possibility that the data was manipulated to give RP an advantage.. If that doesn't make sense without a visual, just search royal purple on youtube and you'll find a few experiments done by royal purple and its competitors on oil film strength.. Think about it, and you'll see what I mean. All I'm saying is RP needs to make more of an effort to demonstrate proper use of the scientific method with their extraordinary claims. After all, extraordinary claims require extraordinary inscrutable evidence. This product came in an amazon box, with the royal purple box of twelve one quart oil bottles within that. Very satisfied for what I ordered.

I'm no car expert. In fact my first car blew up because I didn't know I was supposed to feed it oil at all, but that turned out to be great incentive to learn more about oils! Now, having tried various oils over the past 10 years, I only use Royal Purple whenever possible for a number of reasons: - My car immediately ran smoother and quieter when I switched to Royal Purple - Conveniently, I only have to change my oil every 8,000 to 10,000 miles - Though it costs more per quart, I save money in the long-run due to much less frequent oil changes - Synthetic oils don't seem to gunk up my car's inards nearly as much as organics I also only use Royal Purple in my transmission and differentials. The ironic part of all this is that I work in the oil industry, and most of the people I work with and talk to say to use synthetics. I've shopped around quite a bit, and it seems the prices don't vary much, unless you purchase by the case (12). Amazon is your best bet for that.
