Default Royal Purple.

Ok, I am the typical dive the vette only 3-5K a year and usually change my oil every spring. Does Royal Purple hold up well if sitting in the winter? I start the car every 2 weeks or so. Is this oil really superior to mobile 1? I'm just thinking ahead. .........wishing for spring.

I don't know if one is better than the other but either is a problem to sit a year. The synthetics are very stable.

Don't know why it would be a problem to let the car sit all winter with Royal Purple in it. That is a good oil - You'll get differing opinions on whether it is any better than Mobil 1 though.
