Default Royal Purple experience?

Does anyone have experience with Royal Purple oil, in either late model cat cars or old school Hotrods or Race cars?

Any comments good, bad or otherwise?

For anyone who has used Royal Purple Racing Oil or XPR Racing Oil, in addition to any other comments, how clean did the engine look inside after running that oil for some time?

Thanks for any input you may have.

I've been using it in all my cars for the past 16 years or so. I started out using it, because my mechanic is also the local distributor. I can't really compare the cars I have now, because I've used Royal purple in all of them since they were new ('99 Vette, '03 Tacoma, '03 Camry)

I am pleased with Royal Purple. I go 3,000 miles, then he changes the filter and tops off the oil...I go another 3,000 miles and have a complete change of oil and filter.

I have been using the purple stuff in my blower motor for the last 5k and no issues at all. I change at 2k due to lots of boost, probably over kill, but cheap insurance for my setup and the only time I use any oil is under boost, so that is most of the time
