Lol i love when people said you cant go back.
That doesnt happen, and if does i would like a good explanation why.
About Royal purple, its good oil, mostly synthetics now a days are.
Just make sure you do oil changes often.
Just a comment about the two people above, I tried amsoil once, and will never try again, i did not like it at all. (given it was a motorcycle, and motorcycle amsoil)

Well really the only reason i havent switched is because that phrase is haunting me. o0o0o it stays in the cams and if you switch itll screw the cams up etc. The engine was rebuilt and thats what the previous owner used. At the store it only comes 10w-30 the thickest -_- So i really want to switch.
Some guys have blamed rp for engine damage. Weiner circle sells rp almost exclusively. I personally haven't tried it.
What I have come to understand about synthetics is you must use from early in the engines life. An older engine, even 50k miles, has some buiilt up sludge or grime on seals and gaskets. Switching to synthetics will clean this build up and cause leaks on your seals and gaskets. Best to stay with reg oil if that's all the engine has operated in. A rebuilt engine is like new so it should be ok. They also sell break in oils for fresh rebuilds.

This. You dont wanna throw synthetic into a car thats had a rough life or over 75k IMO. I am running it in my L26 but that is after I had gone through everything and it was torn down to a short block and cleaned.
I'm not sure about this I think I might have to call BS on this one.
I run Mobile 1 in everything....EVERYTHING
Old ....New...I've never had any problems.......AT ALL
No leaks..no smoke...no shit...NO PROBLEMS
I wold have to do some research to prove my point 100% but from my real life experience I would have to say you should have no problems switching from a conventional oil to a full synthetic.
Someone please provide me with some solid data
Mobil 1 is also all marketing and nothing really special, it is not even a true full synthetic. Once my cars are ready for an oil change I plan on not using Mobil1 or any of that other expensive crap. You can use even the store brand oils and as long as you change it at a reasonable time your engine will last.
You could run it but youre fine not running it. Just keep and eye on it. Ive grown to knowing my smells and feels when it comes to knowing when to change.
Technical info I dont have but I have heard many horror stories. Im glad you are getting good results. Synthetic is better and cheap in the long run. I love going 6k-7k on Mobil1
Well it was a rebuilt motor said the previous owner. Ill be finding out soon when i pull the engine and break it down myself. Another reason i want to change is because like said above, RP is expensive. A least 9 dollars a bottle. I need about 5 bottles :sad: . I have after market cams so those im more worried about. But if i tear the engine apart anyway, clean it up, im thinking ill be alright.
