Would the Royal Purple be any better for my planned use/mileage? That's what I am here to ascertain.
M1 0W40 can be used in almost all German engines, Porsche or MB AMG or other high performance German engines, except may be some BMW M sport engines that needs 10W60.
It is available almost any part store, Walmart included, at reasonable price of around $26 5-qt jug. No reason to use other brands, except Castrol Edge 0W40.
