Yeah but that just fills up land-fills... Isn't it better to do it the BITOG way and keep it running Forever and ever?

Well thats true also but I think I'll just try a run of RP and see if I like it. With whats going on here lately with M1 I'm almost enbarrased to admit I've used it for over 20 years with no problems. I still have no problem using it but as a typical guy I'm ready for something different!

That's just the anti-M1 crowd getting to you. Don't let it.
I don't see Valvoline meeting Honda HTO-06. Yet Mobil does. I don't see a Valvoline grade that matches M1 TDT/Delvac 1. Or M1 0w40.
They focused on the 5w30 because apparently (according to Ashland) they have found a "chink" in M1's armour. I am very disappointed they (XOM) have not given us any real info yet. But that doesn't mean their products are inferior.
It's always in fashion to hate on Mobil 1.

I used M1 for 80K in my SUV with great results... I think it's a darn good oil, I just think Amsoil is better because my UOA's seem to be better. I would still use it if I couldn't afford Amsoil or it was all that was available to me!

I`ve always wondered what gives RP it`s unique smell.........it smells like the moly grease I used in my short shifter. Is it the high moly content in their oil??????
Maybe the purple dye in it?

Funny you should mention that. The 5W20 must be different than what you use because it literally smelled good to me! Don't laugh but I swear it smelled like grapes!
None of the chemical/petroleum smell of most oils.

Maybe my tried and true 20W50 has it`s own unique fragrance

+1 Agreed.

I sometimes think I'm the only one with a logical way of thinking, then I met all you wonderful folks on BITOG that seem to have the same way of thinking I do... We should all run for Government and clean up the mess!

Well let me tell you the 5W-20 anyway smells god awful if it drips on a hot exhaust. The stupid tech who did my OC when I ran 5W-20 that one time forgot to tighten the drain plug. It slowly worked loose and started dripping oil that was blown onto the exhaust as I drove. Man did that STINK! I wanted to puke. Never smelled anythying so foul.
As to your SL/SM concerns. RP does offer a supplemental warranty dealing with using their SL oils in vehicles calling for SM should it ever cause problems for you. Put whatever weight on this supplemental warranty you so choose. I am just providing it for you as an FYI and I don't encourage you to believe it nor tell you to disbelieve it...

Typical Royal Purple: always standing behind their products.
In my opinion, run Amsoil Oil like the other oils and You may find that Amsoil may be like all of the other oils...no special equipment installation, just run Amsoil Oil like you would any other oil through the filter of your choice then run the tests like UOA or whatever.....Amsoil may work as well as any other oil.......In my opinion...
