Royal Purple 20W-50

[JBUSAF]

Thoughts on Royal Purple 20W-50?
I have been using 15-40 Mobil 1, but can get some RP for about the same cost.
Ideas?
Thanks

If you can get it for the same price go with the RP for sure!.. I like the good ole "green" myself!.. :cool:

Thanks, I can get it for $6.00, so I'll get all they have.

As long as it's a racing oil yes, because it has the Zinc!..

RiverRacer, Are you refering to to the old Kendall oil?

I have used RP and Mobile 1 and both work good. I recently used the Mobile one since it was cheaper. I'll run it in my boat.

Yep the old Kendall green, but now it's back and available from Brad Penn, just bought a case last week!...

Brad Penn! (http://www.bradpennracing.com/)

I believe Art is talking about Kendall,i used to run a jet boat years ago (86-92) ran three different motors the last one i spun to 7 grand often,when i first put it together i was running Castrol (20-50) racing oil and found the pressure at the start of the day was right where it should be but at the end of a hard running day i was down 5-15 pounds (hot oil) i understand the concept,someone recommended i switch to Kendall based on how hard i was running so i switched to Kendall straight 50wt no loss in oil pressure after that,i`m intrigued by the Royal Purple

I believe Art is talking about Kendall,

Used to be, not anymore Kendall now is not the same stuff!..

I got 3 cases of the Brad Penn, probably going to stock up on more as time goes by.

Just curious what you give for a case?, it cost me $58 for one seemed reasonable to me!..
