First time ever to Run Royal Purple in the Corolla. Would have likely never run it but I just happened to run onto a closeout at Walmart $20 a Jug.
Going in Purple looked pretty sexy. But after 200 miles well the coloring was gone and it looked just like most other oils. So much for RP Porn.
I only ran this oil a little over 3100 miles. I had a nice day and decided to day was the day. I don't like changing oil in the driveway in the rain or snow. So until April I'll be running Costco's 5W-30 Kirkland brand Full Synthetic. I wasn't real thrilled with the spacing on the closing seam on the filter but there were no rips, no tares and no errors. This was an older Purolator with the round holes VS the louvers.

Not bad at all. 3134 MILES, why such a short run? Could have gone atleast 5-6k.

Yes and that would have put my change in February. No I'll just stick with my October/April OCI. But this is the lowest miles I've had in years. Oh with the low miles I forgot to mention less than 1/2 quart of top off oil used. The Old Toyota seems to be holding up well for a serve service vehicle.
