I've heard lots of good things about Royal Purple... but not once from a mechanic or engine builder

Elf motor oil + Redline gear & tranny fluid for me thanks.

I have seen how this oil performs and its not the best oil out there to use. In my last job, this oil was used in a macerator pump in a sewage treatment unit. The mechanical seal would fail after a few hundred hours. The impellor shaft would wear that allowed the shaft bearing clearance to increase. We decided to use an OEP type oil used for extreme pressure applications. Never have a failure after that.

Royal Purple is crap. I would never use it in my engine, gearbox or diffs.

So much for me thinking I bough a good oil.

But than again I always do things a little different.

Will see I will let you know in 5000ks as that is how often I change the oil.

Should be OK>

Thanks for the comments.

Unless you do an oil analysis with your existing oil and then another one with Royal Purple (after 5,000kms), everything else is just speculation and guesses or assumptions.
