I have no clue, I just felt it pull stronger, and also I'm getting better mpg ( guys remember that my old oil was crap, literally the cheapest thing the mechanics put in it).

If there's enough friction in your engine to notice it on the butt dyno (solely because of oil), I think a little less power would be the least of your problems.

Yeah some people says that according to dynos it adds like 3 torque and 5 hp, just by simply using the oil.
But to me, having that "extra" power at a 2x the cost of a oil change every however many miles you go until an oil change, is too much money down the tube.
Also I remembered reading somewhere that Royal Purple also shreds a lot faster than other oils.
But yeah, if anyone makes a cheaper version of it, like Royal Green or whatever, that does the same thing then I'll probably use it religiously

When I used royal purple after 3000 miles of daily driving the oil's viscosity was real thin (almost water-like) which isn't good for any synthetic oil after 3,000. That'll discourage me from ever using royal purple ever again.
I stick w/ Amsoil now

I noticed the difference the first time I changed my oil with it, more power and better running, also pep boys had A deal for 50 bucks that came with the filter and five quarts last time I got it.......not sure if they still have that deal....Amsoil is the only one thats better or just as good.....Mobil 1 sucks compared

Royal Purple manufactures high performance lubricants for most automotive, industrial, marine, motorcycle and racing applications.Royal Purple’s leading formula outperforms other synthetic and mineral lubricants because of its state-of-the-art, proprietary lubricant technology called Synerlec.

Many people fall for the hype and BS and jump on the Royal Purple bandwagon without researching it and actually think that its a better product and that their car will perform better using it then other synthetic because of its claims. Way over priced when there are better oils out there.
There are many reviews out there, here is just one..

Believe it, i felt it. A lubricant CAN ma crappy oil thake a car pull harder because it will have better compression. if you go from oil seeping past worn piston rings and then royal purple comes in and cleans it all up and makes more compression making more torque and hp.
you get what im saying lol i cant explain it good, but i felt it after using ENGINE RESTORER its like $10 a 8cyl can.

That's utter BS, I use Chevron mineral oil in my car. If I wanna gain horsepower add bolt-ons and change the software.
