Default Royal Purple

Hey,

Anyone running RP in their car? If so, what weight, and what do you think about it.

Anyone running it have a problem?

Thanks

To be fair though, the thread above is in the C3 section. I'd be curious if anyone ran it on a C5 and what they thought?

Thanks

I ran RP, worked great and the oil analysis turned out great as well. I switch to Amsoil for longer drain intervals and it saves you money ;)
