yeah, you can switch to mobil 1.. why would you have bothered with full syn royal purple in the first place?



is your car heavily modified? do you beat the crap out of it often?



mobil 1 will be plenty great for what you will need/want i would assume.. I ran mobil 1 in my turbo tiburon without issues, but then again, i've never had issues with any oil ive used in any of my 9 past vehicles.

I love Royal Purple, but I don't think it has much of an advantage over Mobil 1.
