to BITOG!
Royal Purple makes good stuff. Whether there is any advantage over Pennzoil Platinum depends on your car, your usage, and what you are looking for. If you want to give us some more details, then maybe we can flesh this out a bit.
However, I can tell you that if I had to pick between two good oils, and one of them came from a company that I wanted to support, I wouldn't be deterred by a difference of $2/qt. If I were in your position, I would be asking if there's any reason
not to use Royal Purple -- and unless you have a brand new car that is still under warranty, or your car has very esoteric needs, there is probably no such reason.
But again, if you want to flesh it out just to be safe, tell us more about your car and how you drive, and we can go from there.
