Royal Purple HMX SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil

Love the color but better than that I have had excellent results with this product.
Improves my old cars engine.
I drive a 2012 BMW 128i coupe and have 222000 kms on that girl. Changed the Vanos selenoids and still had a rough idle at start. Was going to clean the Vanos oil screens but decided to just use this oil to do so and I have no regrets.

Listen, I get it. Everyone has some automotive elixir or magic potion they swear by. “Put this in your tank, and it will be like a new car!” We all wish it were true, but in reality, there’s nothing you’re going to put in an engine to bring it back to life, or keep it running 500,000 miles. But I can tell you this with complete honesty: Royal Purple was (and continues to be) absolutely worth the money in my case.

At around 140,000 miles, the engine of my 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee was noticeably louder than it was in its youth. Not a terrible noise, but there was definitely a mechanical clatter that wasn’t there before. I’d also started to notice that when I changed the oil, I was getting less and less back out. I’d put 5 Qts in, and 3,000 miles later I’d drain out just 3 or even 2.5 Qts. I never noticed any oil on the driveway, so I don’t know if it was burning it or only leaking while running, but it was going somewhere.

One morning, after I’d gotten a little lazy and went a bit past my usual 3K oil change interval, I noticed the oil pressure light starting to flicker. Checked the stick and it was just barely registering. Something had to give. I didn’t want to be the guy putting a Qt of oil in his old clunker every week (in other words, my Dad).

So I started looking around and saw that Royal Purple was making some big claims with their high-mileage oil. Rejuvenating seals and cleaning your engine, that sort of thing. I kept doing more research, and the surprising thing was that more and more people seemed to be backing it up. What finally convinced me to make the switch was a YouTube video where they took the valve covers off an old engine before and after running Royal Purple through it — there was no denying it looked cleaner inside.

So I spent the money, even got the proper filter. Went ahead and did the shorter interval for the first change that they recommend to get the loose stuff out of the system before really settling in to the fully synthetic oil, even though it meant spending double. I figured if it worked, it was worth the money.

Well, that was over 20,000 miles ago, and I’ll be damned if things haven’t improved. The engine is without question quieter, and at idle, is noticeably smoother running. But the best part is that the oil loss has been reduced dramatically. Now when I put in 5 Qts, I get 4 Qts back out. It’s not perfect, but considering nothing has changed other than the oil, I think that’s a big win. I no longer have to religiously check the dip stick every week for fear of an empty pan before the kid needs to go to school.

End of the day, I’m just one guy who enjoys fiddling under the hood from time to time. I’m no expert, I can’t tell you how or why things improved with Royal Purple. Maybe it’s all just coincidence? All I know is that it’s worth it for me to keep spending the extra money. I want to keep my engine running as well as possible, for as long as possible, and to me that means always using Royal Purple.

The price: Too much expensive

I’d been using Mobile 1 EP high mileage in my Kia with 125k on the odometer, and consuming 3-5 quarts between my 5K change interval. I’ve now extended the interval to 6K, and am only consuming a half quart. This alone is saving me time and money. The engine is also more quiet, both at start and during operation, and I perceive a small boost in performance. I wouldn’t hesitate to spend the money, especially if you’re engine is burning oil.

My car just rolled past 200,000 miles and I want another 200,000 miles out of her so I did a lot of research for my next oil change and I’m so happy with the performance, appearance, and color of this oil. It is designed for high mileage vehicles and will seal and give great temperature control for the engine. It’s called purple, but it’s the color of regular oil. It’s the right viscosity for my engine and it lasts 75,000 between oil changes. Really incredible!!!

I’ve been using this oil for my past 3-4 oil changes. I changed to this oil from Castrol magnitic 5w-30. I have to say that my oil consumption way less than with Castrol. In between oil changes, every 3000 miles, I go through a quart. Motor is at 184,000 miles.
After the first time using this oil, my oil was very dark. Stayed that way for 2-3 oil changes. On my 4th oil change, I noticed I could still see a faint tinge of purple in the oil. That attests to the cleaning that the oil does, at least for me.
This oil paired with a wix XP oil filter work really well for my SBC.

I use this in my 1998 Eclipse GST with 128k miles and am getting 23 MPG which was the original for this car. The detergents work well to keep the engine free from build up. Love Royal Purple and use it in all my vehicles.
