Hey guys i have heard RP increases performance if you are a aggressive driver. I just wanted opinions on how RP is and do people use it?. If you guys dont use it, what type of oil would you recommend for performace. RP is pretty exp. so i want to research on it first.

 

its not the best for the G

 

Mobil 1.... havent had any problems and I am at 124k miles... I drive the car hard every day.

 

My personal choice is Motul 300V.

 

+1 on motul

 

use a decent oil and you will be fine. Just do your regular maintnace and use quaility stuff.

Ive used valvoline,mobil 1, castrol and they have all worked well.

 

Best oils: Amsoil, Motul, Castrol German
Next Best: Mobil 1, Royal Purple, Pennzoil Platinum

Check bobistheoilguy.com, there's a lot of good information on there.

 

i use royal purple in both my cars with no problem. even better cause the RP plant is like 5 min from my house i can by from them cause i know people that work there

 

Royal Purple is way down on the list. It has high wear numbers from all the tests. It is not recommended and don't fall into the marketing BS.


Best oils from top to bottom:

Amsoil
Redline
Motul
Penzoil Platinum
M1
RP

 

Funny thread, everyone has an opinion. Personally I doubt if you can
do much better than Mobil 1. It's even avalilable at Wall Mart, I found out Costco sells it with Mobil 1 filter for $24.99....that's a great deal! I use
Red Line synthetic 10W/30 cause I live in a warm climate, and it's high quality oil! Pennzoil anythng, I wouldn't use it in my lawnmower!!
My opinion....lol

It's been proven Mobil 1 is not the best oil out there, I'm just going by the information available. I don't have an "opinion" of any oils except maybe not buying Valucraft.

 

Reference?

 

Reference for "proven"?

 

Search? There is a sticky about oil analysis in the drivetrain section.

In general, TX's list is fairly accurate. FOR THE PRICE RP isn't worth it.

 

Agree 100%
