Alrite I'm about to do another oil change on my Lude and rite now I'm using full synth Mobil 1..... I went to my Honda dealer today and got a new oil filter and some fresh drain bolt and washer and then saw that they carried Royal Purple synth oil for like freakin $6 a pop......


First question is if it's alrite to switch from one synth brand to another??

And do any of u guys/girls use Royal Purple cuz I've heard some bad bad stuff about it.......

TIA........



latez...........

Royal Purple is very good stuff, I wouldn't worry.

Good stuff eh??

That's all I heard about Mobil 1 full synth before I used it and now I'm hearing same things about Royal Purple.....

Is there even a difference between the two brands?? If so what?

I would like to know cuz I think I'm gonna go and just TRY it out to see if theres any difference.....

To tell you the truth, I doubt unless your car is incredibly high strung that oil brands make little difference unless they are really shitty. Red Line, Royal Purple, Mobile 1, they're all good.

ok, heres a question, what about switching from oh lets say Castrol GTX to a synthetic? i have heard not to, and i have heard its no problem, what is the real anwser?

Here's another reply from another board:

"It's not ok. The mixture of oils cause foaming at high speed and can damage the engine. Thats is what I was told so when I switched I did an oil change after 500 miles to clean it up. Its not good to switch brands all the time. "

Damn now I don't know what to do!!!!

The Twilight Zone.

So is neone of u guys gonna go over to sc.net and ask ChrisV for me? :D

I'll buy u a Big Mac meal with super large size upgrade :p

there is no issue with switching among brands of oil nowadays.

foaming of oil does not come from mixing, that comes from overfilling.

you most likely wont notice a performance difference between the brands, but i like redline since you can legitimately extend the oil change intervals to a LARGE degree...

but dont worry about switching, that just isnt an issue anymore...

just dont use synthetic in a brand new engine...it wont break-in.....heh
