wow is right a drive an aveeage of 3500-5000 miles a month and get paid 35 cents a mile so every mpg i can save is well worth it to me and it truly made a huge difference i will let anyone check my dipstick anyday of the week and i would put money on it my oil with about 10k on this change so far cleaner than your "conventional oil" you just changed last week

If, based on your comments then, you don't believe anything unless you see it right? Well I guess you can't breathe because you can't see oxygen or maybe your heart can't beat because you can't see it?
If you have to see everything in person then you have issues my friend.
here, this is an article published by an import mag showing an EVO swapping to royal purple. only a 7 hp increase.....30hp is rediculous and unrealistic.

Wow someone actually doing some research. This is a first. I'll have to dig up the video I'm thinking about and post it when I'm on the computer whenever that might be.

Someone ought to learn to detect facetious statements. Not to be confused with sarcasm.

I dont need research to know what's true or not about dyno but you will probably reply with somethin completely stupid that says I know it all or somethin cause I said I don't need research but just like the last time I made my self specific and stated a single subject which was on a dyno

But there is almost always variables such as what happened in between dyno tests.
