What is the best oil for breaking in a new motor?
straight 30 wt
That's just like saying our oil is the best because it tastes like bananas, the rest tastes like oil... so what? BFD!!!
Royal Purple..didn't they have that silly wear test??.....or was it Amsoil???, I don't know...somehow they rub me the wrong way. Aggressive advertising, they are plugging their stuff everywhere, making it out to be a miracle oil. And then that silly 2 ball wear test, you show me an engine that has components wearing/interacting with each other like that and I will buy royal purple. That whole test is just a load of BS, it doesn't represent anything that would have just the slightest correlation with internal engine components. That's just like saying our oil is the best because it tastes like bananas, the rest tastes like oil... so what? BFD!!!
Well on second thought a broken roller lifter spinning sideways and digging into the cam may be kind of what that test represents, so in that case, be advised that with royal purple it will still dig in, but at a slower rate.....wooptiedoo!!!
And they may want to sell it, so now, with every new comp cam, you will probably void warranty if you don't buy their super secret additive. They should call it subtractive, because it doesn't add money to your wallet.
I Have about 3000 miles on my 383. It has just now stopped consuming oil. Should I stick with dino oil or switch to synthetic at this time?

I think Arthur is on the right track: aren't these companies forced to remove or eliminate additives that harm the environment or f. e. the converter ???
Some companies sell so called "racing oil" and on the label it says that it's for off road use only... wonder why...???
So if additives cannot legally be added to the oil, there seems to be a huge market for oil additives that are "for off road use only"...

Racing oil has more Zinc than allowed by EPA.
