And try to keep it conveniant and affordable since I change my 2g oil way more then I change my other vehicles oils.


But thats just me. And yes Royal purple is just an expansive name. Some would say the same for Amsoil.


My post directed at Manny, though I realize I never actually indicated that in any way.

I agree with everything you said. And the people who would say the same about AMSOil would be correct, if referring to their standard oil (XL series, I believe). It's crap. Dominator is God's gift to turbochargers.

What I meant was, between two oils, it really doesn't matter which one is better if both are more than good enough.
