Default Royal purple oil vs mobile 1 oil

I am having a problem with this i went to the rick's webby and saw the Royal purple oil. It is good or better since so many people here are saying mobile one is good.
I am having a oil change soon and i do hope that someone here can help me here.
Should i get every max gear oil from Royal purple too if it is good?
Or i should go with mobile 1 one every oil.

I sincerely appreciate anyone out there who reply to my post.

I use Royal in my car and I like it As a point of reference I've used Mobil 1 in some of my other cars and I've had good luck with it as well. I decided to give the Royal a shot in the S and so far it has performed very well. My engine oil, tranny oil and diff oil if all Royal.

check out the "oil journals" in the technical forum, before you change your oil.

Run do not walk away from Royal Purple. Their advances in oil technology is to trademark purple oil contatiners. Mobil 1 is proven, why risk your engine? If you want to give something diferent a try go with Red Line oil products.

HEMP Filter

Umm, I think Trophy needs to mellow out and stop messing with this guy - let him borrow your HEMP Filter

Just wondering what you base such a harsh comment on? Maybe I'll change mine in the spring to something else.

But I have to tell you so far my car runs very smooth and shifts quite nicely. I change my oil 2 twice a year, HAMP filters, and I run magnetic drain plugs, and so far I've had not problems.

So I'm just curious why you feel this way? Did you have a bad experence or something?
Somewhere in the Oil Journals Road Rage said that "Royal was hype" and that the "Numbers were not good" Use Redline or that LE stuff that RR likes!
