Royal Purple Oil Questions
Hey guys. Anyone here use Royal Purple in their 4.3s?
I got a few questions since I am considering switching to it at the next oil change. 1. 5W-30 or 10W-30 for the summer in an engine with 88k on it? 2. Lucas or no Lucas? I have been using it with conventional oil for about a year. 3. Does Royal Purple do a good job at cleaning out sludge? 4. Is it safe to just switch to it directly from conventional oil without causing damage? Thanks. |
1. Whatever the manufacture suggests is probably best.
2. Lucas would probably still be a good idea. 3. Never used it myself but heard it is pretty nice. 4. Shouldn't hurt anything if you put it in when you do your next oil change. |
Should I put some Seafoam in the oil and let it run for 10 min before I change it? Is that the proper procedure? Trying to make this truck last longer and run better. Still has a little bit of lifter tick for a few seconds (if i rev it above idle between startup and 1 min also, which is why I idle it for 5 min before I drive it.), on startup when it is cold or humid. Thanks

sea foam ur rig then change oil to the royal purple 5w-30 with the k&n hp-2001 oil filter dont add any lucus. it will clean that motor spotless.
thats the combo i use and i can tell the diffrance also run ther 75w90 in the rear dif! less friction = better running and longer lasting truck. use there power stearing fluid and atf! i now work for them. i have been a lifetime user and love the stuff. u can accualy pick up about 3hp from the switch. i dyno my ride before and after |
RP is a decent oil, but their claims are inflated. Check out BobIsTheOilGuy.com for indepth oil information.
3HP falls into the realm of dyno tolerance and is nothing conclusive. |
it'd be like having a tail wind on the highway.
alot of info on Bob's web site. a good read. |

I was also looking at Pennzoil Ultra. Which is better? Royal Purple or Pennzoil Ultra? I don't even know if I can get Royal Purple in this small town. If I use RP, I may have to order it.

RP is what I've been using with the k&n filter. I just love the nut on the end of the k&n filters because it makes oil changes so much easier. Autozone/Advance/Pep Boys always has it on the shelves.
|
you guys alway rave about the nut o K&N's, but when they're on sale for $13, i can do two Frams for that price.
and when you're changing the oil every 30 days.......................well, that extra $ spent on a filter can add up quickly. |
