Royal Purple is equal to better then synthetic. I use it myself and have used it since i bought the car with one exception i tried mobile 1 once and it was out of my car after 200miles... there are two forms of royal purple, there regular 5w-30(and otherweights) as well as there Racing 21, racing 21 costs about 10$ a quart and the 5w-30 about 5-6.

How often do you have to change your oil with Royal Purple?

5w-30(reg weights) they say it can go to 7,500-10,000miles with changing of oil filter at 3,500 miles and adding a little more oil. the Racing 21 has to be changed every 2,500-3000miles

What was wrong with the mobil 1? I can't even justify the cost of synthetic for my car since it's not like I'm pushing a high horsepower engine. I think for an NT with just bolt ons, regular oil is good enough. If you're turbo or have a built motor then it's different.

honestly... i grew up using the stuff... my dad had used it switching over from amsoil. and we ran my old chevelle on it. the oil just makes the car run that much smoother.... I cant really explain it. the car just rides so much nicer. starts ups are easier, reving is so smooth. keeps the engine cooler. its just really something else... maybe i am nuts... or maybe my dads got me brainwashed but Dave_fl will tell you i swear up and down by this oil.

i use redlines synthetic fuel additive...

mobil 1 full synthetic is a tuff act to beat though.. and IMO no conventional earth oil is better than full sythentic oil...
