Does anyone use Royal Purple oil on their DSM?

[Patryk]

if so what grade do you use? Have u noticed anything with it?


I use Mobil-1 Fully Synthetic 5w30 right now.

Pretty sure most filters have a anti-drain back valve.... I haven't heard of one that hasn't. I wouldn't use a Fram filter to save my life. I don't think the Toughguard are that bad though, so maybe to save my life. There is a study somewhere online that did a bit of research on different types of oil filters. The WIX filter was a very well constructed filter. Some of the lowest grade filters were Fram. I may be wrong so don't quote me on it.

The toughguard is their top one. It says like 98% single pass and 99% multi pass filtration as compared to the averager of like 96% (I would have to go back and look). Lately, I've just been getting mine from satan when I have to go get other stuff anyway.

I use a quart of lucas oil added to the mobil one synthetic( it can be used for up to 60% total volume of oil but that is way too much) .... that shit is thick. Car runs cooler but I think I can hear a valve tapping now- unsure if that is related or not... oh and a wix oil filter

It keeps the oil filter "primed" (filled). The turbo has that great big drain on the bottom of it that goes straight to the sump. In the course of a week, an engine oil (synth or real) will leave enough of a film that it won't start up dry, but the pump's getting oil to the complete system within five seconds anyway- even if it has to "fill" a filter on the way.

Someone else that uses lucas products. I've used the Lucus Transmission Fix, it sealed my transmission leak and made my shifting smoother..no complaints yet.

I've been using Royal Purple for about 6 months now with no problems, but I still get an occasional tick just like before (mostly when the oil level drops a little). And I like the Purolator PureOne oil filters-- I've also used the Amsoil filter but that thing is pretty small. Now I get the 1G "big" filter-- I think the PureOne model number is 10193.

Hey Defiant looks like yet another oil thread. And as I stated in the previous oil thread changing synth at 3000 seems like a "total" waste of greenbacks...IMO. Castrol has worked fine for me and "all" my engines since I started using it back in 1994. But for the sake of the synth users Im going to try full synth at my next oil change then come back to the forums and make a lil noise.

No, your right, I read that article too. That guy was cutting the filters open and doing all kinds of freaky stuff with em... Frams suck.
