Royal purple?

[95KBGT]

The whoring comment wasn't aimed directly at you. For the most part, your posts aren't too bad.

That said, the whoring on this forum is out of control, but nobody seems to care. This forum continues to grow, and all the post whoring does is encourage all the other noobs to hang out and whore it up themselves. The end result is a forum with thousands of members, and little content. Is that where you and the other "old" SN95 members want it to go?

My posts aren't "I'm gods gift to the forum" they're simply direct to the point. If you really think I don't add any value here, get me banned. I'm sure you have plenty of pull with the admins.

Paul.

thats fine, but i do think the comment was directed at me, i do know this forum has gotten a little crazy with post whoring, and many of us are to blame. but there is no need to be negative all the time. have a good one :drunk:

after reading some post i realized there was a question to weather i realy drift. Yes, yes i do. Im a complete beginer and have done it on the streets, and has completely stoped. I've sworn never to do it on public roads again and at the very least keep it to open parking lots., but i do want to take it to the track. right now, though, i want to spend time properly prepare my car for drifting before i start doing it again.

I use Lucas... royal purple is good too

What "abuse at the track?"

Drifting

Rrrrrriiiiight. Let me guess, you're 17 and have Tokyo Drift on DVD. How close am I?

I don't know about you, but I've been on a road course my fair share of times, and I've not seen any drifting.

Paul.

actualy your pretty damn close and i bought and watched that movie for the first time after i got into drifting. none of this, im am ashamed of. also, the reason you havent seen it on a road corse is because they set very specific days for it. also many times drift days are held in gigantic parking lots and old airforce bases. so, ill put it this way, you may not see drifting as a real sport, but I do see it as a sport, the same way i see skate boarding, surfing, snowboarding, BMX biking and even figure skating (which i dont like, but it is an olympic sport). all these sports are based on tricks.

Which events have you attended? Got pics? Which sanctioning body?

Ive never been to a drifting competition, im not good enough, and as far as attending, i was overseas all summer. I have been to some drag races in dade county and an american lemans race near sanjose californai (cant remember the track name, but it was next to a bunch of vinyards). what is the point to your questions? is it to simply an attempt to ashame, embarriss, humiulate and to totaly discredit me. Yes, I am young, inexpierenced, ignorant, somwhat immature, and have no credit to my name, but we all start somewhere, and that is why I ask questions, and i will be asking alot more due to my inexpierence. now tell me sir, is thier anything wrong with that. were you not once young and inexpierenced or were you born with a car and tons of expierience drag racing, and time attacking in the womb. I think the way you are and your useless comments points out that you have less maturity than a 17 year old drifter with no legal racing expierience (cause my mom wouldnt let me on the track when i still lived with her). so i bid you a good day and the hope that you mentaly grow up.

I cleaned this thread up some so lets keep the personal attacks and opinions to yourself unless someone asks for it and i don't remeber the OP asking about drifting but rather oil products.

Oh please.

Yes I was your age once. No, I wasn't trying to drift my car around city streets (which is insanely stupid and dangerous BTW) and telling people about the "track abuse" my car sees.

Instead of lying about what you've done, or trying to impress people with your "drifting experience" - maybe you should have come out with the truth in the first place. People are much less likey to think you're a dumb kid if you do that.

Paul.


PS - the track near San Jose is probably Laguna Seca. A truly awesome and challenging racetrack with elevation changes, blind corners, and the legendary corkscrew. I saw the '07 Toyota F1 car break the lap record there last year on an exhibition during the Monterey Historic Car Races. He averaged 121+ mph throughout the whole course. It was epic.

I have never used it but three people I know have. One blew his engine in a Matrix Xrs, one blew his engine in a Acura RSX, and anothers Audi A4 had a catastrophic engine fire. All within 2 months of each other. I'm sure the oil was not to blame but to have three close people use the same oil and lose their engines is kinda freaky! Of course had they used Quaker State or Castrol I wouldn't even be thinking of oil.

hmm, now it seems kinda of scary, but they must have been pushing thier engines way to hard for what thier desighned. hmm, does anyone one else have horror stories too?

 

[radonovan]

It seems the Matrix Xrs has an inherent problem with weak rods. The local dealership has 3 of them in between 20k -40k miles needing new motors! The Acura was an internal malfunction as well. The Audi was not. I know all three were run hard. Hard to blame Royal Purple though.

I cleaned this thread up earlier from mainly posts from you and said stay on topic but you had to keep going with drift BS... I don't know why you feel the need to be the internet police but its not your job. I have not had an issue with you or your posts but others have so from now on if you don't like the info or material being posted in a thread just stay out of it or don't post here at all if this place does not meet your standards.

ok

 

[driftingmustang]

hmm, not exactley an independant study but amsoil claims that royal purple is good short term but bad long term, clogging oil filters and lines. hmm....

....I dont think the words "Long Term" should be used with oil..... There oil is only in there for 3,000-5.000 miles.....seems short to me :dunno:

I always chang oil at 3,000 miles. what i assumed they ment is that even with oil changes, say youve always used royal purple every oil change for the last 90 thousand miles (= 30 changes) its bad,or maybe not, i dont realy know what they meant, and they probaly meant it to be that way since amsoil was talking about a competitor

 

[trav_19]

i have used a lot of different oils in a lot of my vehicles and i will use royal purple in them from now on...the others just dont compare ...however i have never used amsoil so i ca nt coment on that product..but i can say i really was unimpressed with mobil 1

i have never used rp but i use only mobil 1 and have been thrilled by it. my service van has 250k on it and my mustang has 120k and neither use any oil. mobil 1 was one of the first to sell synthetic oil
