I have stated my opinion & I do not believe that @ our BITOG forums Members have 2 have a "Letter of Approval" from a Phd 2 back up their preferences every time they chose 2 share an opinion with fellow members.
I do not know what kind of mood u r in when u r browsing through BITOG forums but I am always in jolly good mood. I have used expression such as "Hands Down" or "Hands Up" various times over the forums to express my opinion whenever a member inquires.
I never got challenged 4 having certain preferences, i have said in other posts whenever someone inquired that I prefer Synpower over Platinum in da similar fashion just how I did it here.
Yes, I have used RP engine oil.
-It is Way Expensive
-Not Easily & Widely Available
-Technical Data not very impressive as compared to RL or Motul
-The superior driving feel experience with this oil did not lasted through out the 15K OCI.
-At oil change, oil felt waxy!
Most of these reasons are very subjective hence I was avoiding to share them and I have hoped that you did not had forced me to do it.
Do i consider it is a bad oil? NO!
certainly cost prohibitive unless I can find it at 8 or 9 bux a litre...its more like $15
I have never condone RP Bashing
I have never encouraged RP Bashing
I have never participated in RP Bashing
I have never said RP is a bad product
I have never stopped anyone ever from using RP products
Nor I have ever tried to persuade a RP user to change
This was not the case with RL & I have not used Motul personally!
I am sure there are lot of members here who use RP and hats off too them...
NHHEMI, respect the choice of BITOG Members who do not prefer RP.
Thank You!
I always respect others opinions. Especially when they have something to actually back it up. Bashing a product you never used however is not something that deserves respect and is something that deserves to be questioned. Especially when someone is asking for info on the product and the non users jump in claiming it is junk.
When you post in great big huge capital letters stating oil A is way hands down better than oil B, when another member asks about the two oils and which they should use, at least you should be prepared to explain why when asked in a civil manner as I did. Kind of the point of this forum. That is a pretty aggressive statement and when made in the manner you made it can imply many things to those reading your response. Your response came across as if RP was horrendous. Now you can feel that way if you have used it no question but again I say post like that, with no clarification as to why, and someone may ask why like I did. All I did was ask why not that you post a scientific paper as to why.
To be clear I have never gone after someone for preferring/recommending a brand other than RP. I actually recommend oils other than RP all the time depending on the situation and what the OP asks about. I use other oils besides RP as well. What riles me up and causes me to call someone out is the ridiculous RP bashing by those who never use it by their own admission.
