No issues with Royal Purple synthetic. Been using it since I hit 1000 miles in 2012 and the car has been supercharged since then.
Bought a case on sale at Amazon for cheaper than what it cost for any other synthetic of similar weight, so it was a no brainier. I used Motul everywhere else. |

The term synthetic is only a marketing term and "100% synthetic" and "Full Synthetic" are marketing terms. Hey, look what I found on Al Gore's internet. This guy retired from a company that produces ester base stocks, so he might know a thing or two: Quote:

Any Issues with Royal Purple?

I knew W didn't stand for weight, but I've seen weight and viscosity used interchangeably when it comes to oil. If oil weight is wrong, then I offer my apologies for persisting the misconception. |

Actually, it's a "viscosity grade". The grade refers to a viscosity range and not just one single number (e.g. a 20 grade has a viscosity range of 6.9 - 9.29 centistokes at 100C) |

The only thing that I asked you to do is show me where you found these guidelines and your reply was that it's all over the internet. Sort of senseless to debate this though as someone above that used to work in the industry stated the great debate over "synthetic" vs "full synthetic" is dead anyway. This same sentiment can be seen in posts from other oil blenders at bitog as well as an oil blender that used to post in this forum. And unless you are an oil blender for a company, you really don't know what the entire make-up of any oil is. I'm aware that Exxon Mobil uses Group III base stocks (their proprietary base stock called Visom), and that Mobil1 0W40 used to be primarly Visom, but nobody on here knows much about the specifics of any of their base stock blends. And every Mobil1 oil isn't blended the same way either. They use a mix of various base oils and one "synthetic" oil may be predominately Group IV/V and another may be a mix of Group III+ and IV, or whatever.

I see nobody has asked the question if RP is "compatible" with E85. From what a Motul salesman has told me, all of their oil is okay to use on E85. You just can't run their 300V series with it. You can but you'd be needing to change your oil at 1k miles. So I'm not 100% sure if I want to use RP or Mobil 1. I need oil and motul isn't available where I'm at right now in El Centro. I'll be using the recommended 0w40 weight like Quirt Crawford told me to. I'm boosted with Crawford's built block and it's 10.5:1. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I've blown a motor running RP if that counts
Keep in mind it burned the oil at a crazy rate (vs the other oils I've used) and that's why the engine blew... It's a "boutique" oil. |
