I was planning on using Mobil 1 like my other cars but, I keep hearing about Royal Purple. Any thoughts?

 

Mobil 1.

 

Mobil1 5W30 Synthetic

used it in my celica gt-s for 2 yrs and always ran smooth and very strong...u gotta love this oil...

 

Ok... everyone has their favorites and you'll hear a lot about what they are supposed to be able to do. But we all know that science is the only thing that matters here. I can't remember where I saw it (maybe someone can refresh my memory), but there is a website called something like... bobtheoilman.com or something. Anyway, he has a little chart of the real breakdown on lots of different oils. You don't have to read it because the conclusion is simple. If you want to go high end, Mobile 1 is the best. Nothing else he tested (and he tested lots of the so called "enthusiest" type brands) comes anywhere close. If you don't want to pay for synthetic, get a good quality but cheap conventional type of oil and just make sure to change it regularly. For all of us car nuts that don't care about spending 350% more on oil, Mobile 1 is the way to go.
