I found this while surfing the web. It is a 4.3MB PDF for those with slow connections it may take a while.
It was scanned in from some magazine, basically these guys run a pretty thorough test on 18 brands of fully synthetic and synthetic blends of motor oil. The results really surprised me!!!! I really am considering switching my favorite oil [Mobil 1 Supersyn) Oil Comparison This post has been edited by samir0189: Nov 21, 2008 - 6:27 PM -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊
QUOTE (14:19:21) Daniel: That was a JDM hole in the side of the box too. There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out. QUOTE Ferdi says (11:29) No, it looks like a hooker put her acid vag on your hood. Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings. |

That's funny - when we test oils here we do so under accelerated running, exageratedly harsh temps and conditions and for extremely long periods of time.
BTW - Royal Purple is known in the refinery industry to eat engine seals [The same brands and type seals used on automobile engine BTW]. It is the only oil we void our warranties for. Just FYI This post has been edited by DEATH: Nov 26, 2008 - 4:16 PM --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM)  Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

Just FYI Thats very interesting Death, i have heard so many mixed opinions on royal purple. Most the time people are like "YEHH i swear by the stuff!" and the other set of people say what you did, it eats seals. I read that royal purple claims it "polishes" the internals, is that what causes it to munch up the seals? And is it cause of extended use or is it from day one, do you know? -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊
