Autozone to add royal Purple.

[GRDeleto]

Went to autozone today and was told by someone who works there that they are getting some new product offerings. Other than the STP ML oil filter that just came out. They will be starting to receive Royal Purple Oil and Filters. Also some more liquimoly options are coming as well I was told. Its 41 usd for 5 quarts and 13 for a quart.

I also saw a sign for it that has a deal of this with an stp xl filter is 37 dollars. I know royal purple does not have the biggest rep. But I wonder if this will be a good thing in any way or if it will end up being DOA. Since cost is normally the issue people have with royal purple.

I will be happy to have Liqui Moly available near me finally.

Way too much money for me to spend $42 for five quarts that I cannot justify for the small benefits offered.

They must have found a new filter suppliers, Champion Labs is closed.

The SAE stuff is a huge waste of money. HPS is the real stuff, which is excellent.

Good oil i cant stomach the price to run it only 5,000 miles. that's all i run my oil changes @ 5,000 or 6 months.

 

[Urshurak776]

Not sure why anyone would buy this, especially at that price. If I'm spending that kind of money, I'm going HPL or AMSOIL. Pennzoil Ultra is $26 or so right now and is better than RP, so......yeah.

Exactly. It’s a nothing burger for more money.

RP price too rich for my blood. Doubtful the filter will be price competitive with other equivalents. So, only good I see here, perhaps when it doesn't sell it will go on one of those AZ clearance huge markdown sales. Looking at posted price, "huge" being operative word.

Royal Purple is one product you won't ever see in my shop or personal garage. Absolutely nothing special about it.

Not a bad price, either

 

[GRDeleto]

For context here is what is being offered. And compared to the other deals. Ignoring the obvious Valvoline Restore and Protect. It would only make sense if its somehow better than castrol and mobil1.

 

[GRDeleto]

And also this.

The problem is k&n filters suck.

Royal Purple API, is a good oil, though a bit expensive unless you get on sale, the HPS line is one of the best, but harder to find.

I got my Napa store to stock Hps and the owner said it sells pretty well. I’m using XPR in a very well maintained suv and it’s cleaning something deep in the engine as evident by my paper towel checking the oil. I’ll run Royal purple all year round if it’s competitively priced. Especially Hps and XPR.

Is RP ever competitively priced vs it’s contemporaries?

 

[Sam_Julier]

I have no idea what makes RP special.

I suspect AZ added the line due to the advertising coop dollars RP is will to contribute.

It’s not outrageously priced by any means. I just got 6 qts during amazons spring sale for $60. It’s a few bucks more than Mobil 1 at Walmart and people on here act like it’s 500% more.

Which RP? $10/quart (on sale no less) is ~40% more than ESP, one of if not Mobil 1's best offering.

This was XPR 0w20, not their api auto parts store blend. I wouldn’t pay or go out of my way for the api oil, but I also wouldn’t pass it up if it was a good deal.
