RP has different 'lines' of oil; asking if their oil is any good is like asking if Shell's oil is good
I don't think any oil produced by a reputable company is going to be 'bad'; best one line response is 'it is good oil, but there are better values out there'.

I'm specially interested in the Api licensed line. Compared to other oils. The search function for here is impossible to use. And I can't really get an answer. It always seems as if the thread jumps to something else and never stays on track.
Here is a uoa for ya I've never had any problems with them and really like their products I didn't do TBN since it was only 5200 next time I'll get tbn at 7500 I do tons of towing and had a brand new air filter at the time
Conclusions for the lazy, API SN royal purple is just another decent synthetic, slightly over priced when you can get jug of other synthetic at Walmart for around $25
Royal Purple with synerlec is good stuff, worth the extra cost if you are hard on your engine. It's a very good anti wear additive that prevents it from meeting api certification due to elevated sulphur content.

What about 5w40 that's Api sm? Or even 0w40 that's also sm? I believe the 5w40 has synerlec but 0w doesn't.

You are fine
Like Memphis 909 said.... The version with Synerlec is very good and worth the extra money for sure. Where to buy it?? In a store??
I would rather buy in a store. In general that's what I like and prefer to do.

The HPS lineup which contains Synerlec can be ordered from O'Reilly.

I've been known to buy some Royal Purple when Pep Boys had a decent oil change sale going on. Felt pretty good about it, too. I'm not too emotional about oil brands, though. Some folks around here are. Talking like Sox v. Yankees Cowboys v. Redskins type emotional. It's awesome.
