I've been reading a lot of things about Royal Purple. Does anybody know where to get it in the DFW area? I just hit 65K miles and would like to start doing my own oil changes. Would it be okay to switch over to royal purple 5W-30? Thanks.

 

To better understand oil raed this. It is a bit long, but you will have a lot of knowledge after reading it. I just had a few questions as well and now i learned so much i feel retarded for asking the question.

oreilly's should carry it...5W30 should be fine. i would recommend a 10W30 but your initial choice works.

good luck to ya!

 

pepboys has it for 6.19 a quart

 

hell, Courtesy Nissan sells it... and I think they're having a clearance of it right now...

 

Yeah I've seen it at O'Reilly's. I agree with wayneside on the 10W30 for most of the year in Dallas. I switch to 5W30 for the coldest months of the year when it is important to have a lighter weight to make circulation easier during cold starts.

Personally I use Mobil 1 10W40 although after reading the great write-up by Resolute (re-posted here by Nismo G) I may look into the Mobil 1 0W40 if I can get my hands on some.

When I tracked my car at Motorsport Ranch I did run Royal Purple (can't remember if it was 5W or 10W). If we have this track day coming up in November I will probably go the same route again.

 

Just to throw in my 2 humble cents..you may want to look into Redline as well...

 

jd did you get that motor yet?

 

nah, not yet..haven't even tried to fix it either...been sick like a dog and dealin w/ my nutcase soon to be (ex)....

Yes you heard right kids...JD is coming out back to play with the rest of the G crew again....

 

big words... let's put your money where your mouth is! haha

I'll buy you a drink the day of sir!
