I've used Royal Purple in the past and have really liked it but I've allways wondered if the chemical in the dye is bad in any way for your engine even though it burns out quickly?

You should see RL Heavy Shockproof. Looks like blood it`s so red!
Does Sunoco still try to dye their blue? I can remember the racks of glass bottles. Still have one.
Look at Rislone engine treatment. Was a sickly blue-green last I recall (haven't used in 6 years, since coming here).
I forgot about the color. My uncle used to change our car oils and I loved to watch him pour the oil... I believe he used Texaco it was in a metal can before paper metal. It poured out in a Blue/green straem and when the light hit it you could see a rainbow.
The original GC was green.
Purple oil dye was used back in the early 50's in 'Royal Triton'. I don't remember any problems. John--Las Vegas.
Not really an oil but Schaeffers 132 has a pretty cool greenish color.
I wish Amsoil would color their oil a little. It's so clean it is the hardest oil to check that I've ever used.

Brad Penn oils use GREEN.
I believe they color their synerlec additive so they can tell the difference between it and the PAO. If you go to their site and watch the video of the factory tour, you will see many containers behind the factory and inside that are colored purple or silver. They show samples taken when a truck arrives, and the fluid is clear as water. When they show the beaker in the lab, the clear fluid is spinning and they are adding purple additive using a dropper. I don't think they would be testing the dye color in the lab...

Doubt dye hurts one bit. Sometime it is handy. If you start leaking something you will know right away if it is the hole you poured Red Line Shock Proof into. Drains the same color as it went in. Shows up great on the dip stick as well.
Great info guy's.
It is synerlec!!!
