I am a fan of royal purple. I was sponsored by them for my high schools engine building team last year and they make a great product if you ask me. My first oil change ever in my jeep was royal purple. Only problem...it's EXPENSIVE!!!!!....haha about 10 dollars a quart depending on where you shop. Needless to say, I'm not running royal purple no more. But it is a nice product. Plus it's purple. No lie lol

First off...there are TONS of threads about oil on here. But alas, might as well answer
I would actually say Rotella 10w-30!!!
Has a high level of Zinc, and a great cleaning oil. Also good price.
Unfortunately they don't have as much zinc as it used to. But it still has a better amount than the common oils

That is a HUGE missconception. Sorry. No disrepect intended. Whats important is driving stlye vs intervals of oil change.
With that said i run Royal Purple in the front/rear diffs,the tc and now the motor. Just started with the motor about 200 miles ago. I ran valvaline high milage. the RP is only about buck difference where i am.
My top 3 favs in the synthetic world are.
RP
Mobile 1
Valvaline high milage

Oh boy, Royal purple is bad, i switched to RP FROM mobile 1. Started ticking on start up and never went away.
I have alot of experience with sythetics in many types of engine (v8/v6/i6/i4/h4) most of them boosted. in my opinion here is what i like
1- AMSOIL-BEST MONEY COULD BUY
2-Mobile1
Most others are not half as good as Amsoil
