Re: [Chevelle-list] Royal Purple oil

  Bill/Harlan,
  Thanks for the input 
  on the Royal Purple oil.
  Bill, glad 
  there'sno more motor problems.
  Harlan, thanks for 
  your input as well, yes Royal Purple is a synthetic and supposedly a good one 
  at that.
  The only thing I have 
  heard not to do with synthetic oil is use it for break in of a new motor, I've 
  heard you should put some miles on with conventional oil before switching to 
  synthetic.
  But why then do all 
  the new Corvettes and I think Viperstoo come straight from the factory 
  with Mobil 1?
  Don't 
  know.
  I'm defiantly 
  changing to Royal Purple before I get the Chevelle out in the 
  spring.
  I'll let you know if 
  I see any changes.
  Bob

  extensive web site but I don’t have a link handy. 
Sorry)

I get Royal Purple 20-50 for 5.87 a quart.
Ive been using it for about 10 months in the car. I dont street
it much, mostly drag racing, but it works good for me.

Bill,
Thanks for the reply. Did you notice any changes with the Royal Purple oil 
with respect to idle speed? What about performance? E.T. or trap speed? Also 
weren't you the one with the 454 that ate thrust bearings?As I remember 
the solution was polishing the crank thrust surfacesand no more 
problems.

I didnt really notice any
difference in idle speed. The car has gotten progressively quicker though. I think
tuning and weather has more to do with that than the oil though.



Yes I am the one that was eating thrust
bearings. Polishing the thrust face was the answer. So far the car has gone a
best of 11.53 @ 115.41 on motor.



I did have to lower the idle about 100 RPM
on my Harley after switching to Royal Purple.
