oil synthetic

Thinking about tring roylapurple full synthetic motor oil.  Has anybody ever tried this product? If so is it a good product or not?

I run it in all my cars.   I am very pleased with it.  

thanks if it works in your ss it should work for me.

I think Royal Purple is probably as good or better than any of them, however I prefer Mobil 1 Extended Performance oil because it is guaranteed for 15,000 miles. I change the oil filters at 6,000 miles, rotate the tires, and then again at 12,000 miles, with fresh oil.
We have just under 600,000 miles on synthetic oils, started with Valviline and Mobil 1, then Royal Purple, then switched to Mobil 1 EP when it came out.

Once again may I add, the oil filter is as important, if not more than the oil.
 
Mod Wiz is on sebatical, but he always recommends Wix filters which we can only buy at NAPA here in SoCal.

There was a TV shoe on SPIKE one of the car shows cant remembeer witch one it was but they ran a engine with regular oil and then with royal purple and there was an increase of 8 hp.
 
this was on about a 450 hp motor though so iw ould thing the gain would be less on our motors.
 
also i use it on my car and my dad uses it on his 69 dart. but my dad did burn alot when he put it in his 95 tahoe with 200K plus miles on it.

Did they mention which oil filters they used?

No
 
Can an oil filter really change Hp? or would it just keep the hp gain higher for a longer time?

The question is, "How does oil affect horsepower?"
 
When we get the answer, we can figure out if a high quality filter can maintain that rise in power longer.
 
Space, start googling!!!!!

Oh yeah, I just remembered, Mod Wiz Kid always recommended Wix filter which you can buy at any NAPA or your local Wismer's Performance Auto Parts.

Just dropped in Mobil 1 Synthetic.  Good thing I did it before the snowfall we've had this week too. :)

I find that 5w30 is generally somewhat easier starting in the winter, and conventional versus synthetic- synth is 4x better!
 
I mean from personal experience the car does seem to have a very slight amount more getup n go, but in reality it's the cold starting that sold me.  Unfortunately I've tried to put block heaters in both my montes with little success, and besides ur not supposed to leave em plugged-in all night, which makes it rather annoying to have to wait 10 minutes for it to work when heck the car can just run for 5 minutes and be warmer for me.  Yeah it wastes gas and i'm cold starting it, but heck the cars are made in canada, I doubt a few cold starts is really going to do more damage than my lead foot! 

You can't go wrong with any synthetic oil it's far better than dino oil for protection, Personally I don't use it on my daily drivers simply because I change my oil and filter every 3K. I know that synthetic is good for more miles (up to 15K) but the filter isnt. All the filters I am awhere of are 10 micron. And synthetic will not give you more HP in fact some dino oils have better friction additives than synthetic, they just dont last very long. That being said I have Royal purple in my Camaro (engine, transmission, and rearend) but I only put about 6K a year on it. and I use Castrol dino in my GT, Truck, and Monte carlo. Like I said before all oil filters are a 10 micon filter so they are pretty much the same from one brand to anther. with one exception STP filters if they still make them were like a 5 micron filter and they would clog up in dirty engines.
