      Royal Purple is the best just costly, More important is keeping oil changed what good is (5) $8 quarts of oil when it gets dirty ...?
      As someone in the industry that not true. A lot depends on what base oil group is used and each company also has custom made additive packages. Royal Purple has been know to suffer moly separation in some cases.

          So adding a few additives means its bottled somewhere else .....
          Don't believe everything you read on the label there's no difference between oils until you use synthetic which is man made vs Fossil fuel....

          Example Parts master oil is made by Valvoline coincidence...? I think not...!

            Rebranding isn't the same as oil being the same. I'm no fan of non-synthetics.

              WOnder if anyone uses the Green German Castrol, I understand that is about as good as synthetic.

                I use Q HorsePower. They keep changing the names of the stuff as it used to be Q Advance, either way both are the full synthetic. Interesting discussion here though.

                  Re: What is your engine oil?

                  In my search to give my car to be treated the the best, I ended up with meguiars in terms of car care. I ended up in this forum

                  For the engine oil, I found these:

                  (http://www.animegame.com/cars/Oil Tests.pdf)

                  I am really not sure if the tests are accurate though but will give us an idea.

                  It says Royal Purple or Penrite.

                  I also see Amsoil as another but it seems that they conducted their own tests.
