Ok I bought some royal purple today for my G but I wanted to see if anyone else has used RP before and whether it was good or bad before i put it in my engine . I know mobil 1 is good but i was gonna just gamble and get RP. Also i got 10w 30 because it is almost 100 everyday here in houston and my turbo runs hot, should I have got 5w 30? Any suggestions ? Thanks.

 

RP is fine, i'm sure there's better stuff out there. but any synthetic you change out every 3-5k miles will be more than enough to take care of ur ride. more info on ur sedan?

 

You've been misinformed. Mobile 1 sucks for our engines. RP isn't that great for our engines either, but like SDGenius said.. if you change your oil 3-5k miles then it'll be fine.

 

thanks i was starting to regret buying it after reading some peoples reviews on RP lol. i have a 04 IP sedan btw.

 

well what is the "good" oils for our engine?

 

post pics and build info!

 

Lemme find the thread one sec.

EDIT:

Nvm.. this is pissing me off.. you aren't the first person that has asked this question. There's been ALOT and alot of threads made, but for some retarded reason I can't find any threads. So i'll just list off a few.

0W30 German Castrol
5W30 Castrol Syntec

Penzoil Platinum
Penzoil Ultra..

If you want conventional oil then Castrol GTX is good

If you must go with Mobil 1 then get the 0W40

and umm.. that's plenty lol

 

yea RP is mediocre oil for the VQ, there are cheaper and better oils out there

 

lol i had alot of pics on my droid but i just recently got a new phone so the pics were on that phone. i will take a picture tomorrow when i wash it IP looks BAD when dirty.

 

lol yeah dude i searched before i asked i couldnt find anything.

 

like?

 

They are listed in this thread, M1 5W30EP isnt that bad either

 

but RP wont hurt will it?

 

Nah it wont hurt, its just not the best performing oil, post#2 explains it perfectly.
