However, it isn't any better IMO than any other OTS ILSAC lube one can easily get for half the cost.
It seems almost all synthetics have become boutique now. I still like RP, but always try to buy it on Amazon with Chase rewards lol. I like using the purple stuff without the ROYAL pricetag.
(fixed it for you)
I know people mostly dislike AAP here, but I've got this 5qt jug and a filter combo for less than $25 - yeah I had to combine some speed perks coupon with boa 10% cashback offer, yet it all took less than a minute. So, no royal pricing in my case
I just unsubscribed from AAP's mailing list. Tried to use my "Expiring soon" 25% off: would not work. Site gave script errors like it was designed by third graders doing a computer report, as it always does. Normal website offered 20%
AAP is a scam. I got a product for $53 or $57 that usually costs $64 or $69, that was "20% off" it clearly wasnt.. this same product is on sale everyday for $41 or $48 at Amazon.
I'm done with Advance.
As to Royal Purple, not sure there is one single thing special about them anymore. Last good Royal Purple was API SL, had Synerlec and a weird smell (that was the Synerlec) and was 0W-40 and cost $12 a quart. Now only their Max ATF is good and that costs $16 a quart at Advance, but appears to work well as a top-off, or if you are just rich. Used to be $15 a quart. Now, the $12 a jug for a gallon at Walmart, have not seen a side-by-side shootout, but, if you were just topping off...
Aside from that? Royal Purple, be gone, your royalty was removed at API SN.
