hey marcus, my friend has a used for a month blitz DD BOV for sale, hes asking like 170/obo. its still pretty new, and i'll help you install it if you want, its not hard at all... i use mobil 1 full syn also, i buy mines at costco for like 24 somethin for 6 quarts, i guess thats pretty cheap, but i'm not sure why royal purple is sooo much more expensive, but i know that royal purple is a lil better. but for the price, i think i would go with mobil 1.

That's only 5/Qt. Royal Purple is good, no doubt. For that price, I'd go for it. I can't say that it's better than Mobil or Castrol (I read up ojn oil a few months back and AMSOIL came out on top on a few tests. 2nd was Castrol, 3rd was Mobil. Don't know if they did RP) but it should be good. Search around online for some of those "independent" tests. Both this site and NASIOC have some good links.
You're gonna pay near $5/qt for Mobil or Castrol anyway.

Hey guys i heard that royal purple eats away your rings after awhile. I used to use RP on my supra a few months ago. It did make the supra run the best. i tested mobil 1,castrol,etc and royal was the best the only reason why i stoped was because of that ring eating part.
