Intend on changing my fluids as routine maintenance and for an upcoming road trip. I went to the Royal Purple website and was a bit overwhelmed with all of the products available. So I sent an email to them indicating make and model of my car and I got this response within twenty minutes:

Ronnie,

RP 5W30 or 10W30 Motor Oil - with XPR 5W30 for the ultimate oil.
RP Synchromax for the 6 speed.
RP MaxGear 75W90 for the rear differential
RP MaxEZ Power Steering Fluid for the power steering system
RP Purple Ice Coolant Additive added at 1 oz per quart of system capacity.

Cheers,

David


I really appreciated them breaking the code for me and the timeliness.

Of course I only use RP in my 02 Z06, 06 SRT10 QC, '04 Jaguar S-Type R and '01 Ford Focus Wagon. Am going to put in the Purple Ice here real shortly as the Vette just came out of the dealership for coolant flush. Love their products!

I use RP in my 02 F250 Super Duty. When I swapped to it my mileage went up a few mpg. I think 2-3. IT is truly good stuff. I might even start using it in the Corvette if I can get some of it free (like I do for my truck).

You will not be sorry.
