    Running Amsoil 10w-30 and no Knocks at 100 TPS. At 96-99 Degrees on Intake Temp on and VIII running 100 TPS and no knock (1 knock sum in mid). Must be a good thing. LOL

    3.98x Liters (approx 4 qts) $27.93 which might be cheaper than Mobile 1. However the EVO does require approx 4.xx of oil so your probably gonna have to buy an extra quart

    I have been at the dyno when they have tested royal purple against mobil 1 and picked up about 5 solid hp. Some runs were higher but the lowest was 5 higher so I figure it was worth at least a couple, and that was back to back fresh oil not old mobil1 to new RP. The car was ran on mobil 1 then a fresh change with new mobil1 5-30 then swapped out for new RP and new filter also in 5-30 first run was 7hp more with dyno room temps 1degree hotter so it shouldnt have had a huge effect on it then each run there after was at least 5-8hp higher with one run 10 up from base line. Not a exactly perfect test but good enough for me.

    Not even close to a halfway decent test. I wouldn't put much weight in that article.

    how so? the put friction/heat and weight with absorbtion to the test. You can really tell the diff. between oils. Look at the scarring.

    There's alot more to oils than that one test. And if you didn't notice, all the oils were of different weights.
