HessiaN257 · May 22nd, 2007, 08:28 PM

Its about that time I have to change my oil, and I have only heard good things about Royal Purple. How is royal purple in our GT's? All types of feedback would be appreciated.

MustangMatt96GT · May 22nd, 2007, 08:51 PM

I am going to use it next time I change my oil! I think it would work just fine!

GTsetGO · May 22nd, 2007, 09:08 PM

i always use castrol syntec. i use royal purple for all of my other fluids.

White99stang · May 22nd, 2007, 10:07 PM

royal purple works great in our cars, thats all i put in mine now.

ATLmustang · May 22nd, 2007, 10:09 PM

i wouldnt use it if i had alot of miles, other than that i think its good oil

RC02GT · May 22nd, 2007, 10:34 PM

i have mobil 1 fully synthetic, can i switch over to royal purple because i heard when you go fully synthetic you cant switch back, just wana check if there will be any problems with switching synthetic name brands

Royal Purple is a synthetic oil. I put it in just last week when I changed my oil and haev no complaints so far. With any motor oil, it's hard to tell the difference yourself, unless you talk to a shop that does engine rebuilds, then they can tell you the effects of different motor oils inside the engine.

I've also heard that Royal Purple has been "dyno tested" vs. other synthetic oils and that RP had HP gains over the others.

actually there is a company you can send your oil off too once you change it and they will tell you if it broke down or not and if its good oil

No shit? That's really cool. Is it worth it to send it off? Would you only do it if you suspected something wrong in your engine?

zkid01 · May 22nd, 2007, 11:21 PM

Yep Yep... Royal Purple is the only thing that has every touch my baby! Its a great oil. And yes you can switch from mobil 1 to Royal Purple without any problems... if you were using a reg oil i wouldnt recommend it if you had more than 60K on the car.

MustangMatt96GT · May 22nd, 2007, 11:25 PM

But since your car has had synthetic run through it already, the mileage doesnt matter does it? And also where are you guys buying your royal purple and what weight are you guys running?

gills99stang · May 22nd, 2007, 11:27 PM

I run 5W20 and the only place around where I am that seems to stock it is NAPA. It's about $7 a quart. I use it along with a Mobil One oil filter.

MustangMatt96GT · May 22nd, 2007, 11:30 PM

Yeah the only place I havent looked for it at, because they have a inconvient parking lot, but I will stop by there and pick some up next time I change my oil. Because of my climate do you suggest 5W30 or 10W30? Thanks

zkid01 · May 22nd, 2007, 11:33 PM

If you have a little higher mileage i would run 10w30.. also i think that is what is recomended for your year stang..

MustangMatt96GT · May 22nd, 2007, 11:35 PM

Yeah thats what I have in it now so I think I will just stick with that! I have a 122K

ATLmustang · May 23rd, 2007, 11:53 AM

winter i would run 5w30 and summer months i would run 10w30.
