One Oil for Three Vehicles
- Thread starter rydaddy
- Start date
The Royal Purple HPS is a very good oil,and so is the API stuff.
A side story here:
When I bought the Ram 1500 5.7 used, I wanted to change the oil quickly naturally. I was told it had always had Valvoline synthetic 5w-20.
I ran down to Walmart and the only Valvoline 5w-20 they had on the shelf was the then new (I think) VRP 5w-20.
Shortly after that oil change, after the vehicle had been sitting for several days, on start up there was what sounded like a collapsed lifter (quite loud) that did not clear up after several seconds.
I shut it down and restarted it and all was good.
I soon changed the oil to Amsoil SS 5w-20 that I had on hand and this hasn't happened since. The vehicle sits for several days without being started all the time.
I am by no means blaming the issue on the VRP oil but I will likely not use it again.

My Hyundai 2.4L DI engine can beat the crap out of oil with a 4K OCI … If I had a nice MPI engine easier on oil I might consider running ST synthetic oil .
This brings back memories of the commercials on television. Dang...
I have a 2020 Tundra a 2014 4Runner and a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe.. I run 5w30 in all
Of them. I do switch brands now and again. I have run Mobil1, Quacker State, Pennzoil, I just picked up Valvoline.. but I run 5w30 In them all. My last Tundra had 191,000 on it the 4Runner has 130,00.. they are doing fine with out 0w20. I am in New Jersey it does get cold .

What is your typical OCI on these?
You are right on. 5w-30 for sure.
With your OCI - Redline 5w30 or Motul 300v would be my two. FCP Euro it if price is a concern.
