• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Royal Purple vs. Amsoil

I asked my mechanic what he thought of Royal Purple Max and he said he would use it himself. He suggested Amsoil synthetic which looks good on paper but only comes in 10W40. If you believe the hype, it scores better than RP Max.

Has anyone ever heard of or used Amsoil?
 
I use Amsoil in everything... including the lawn mowers. Have for quite a few years. Never a problem... but I suspect all fully synthetic oils are pretty similar... head and shoulders better than dino or blended.

I use Amzoil motorcycle oil in my GL 1800 Goldwing. I also use Mobil 1 Racing 4T, both 10W40; (pure synthetic ) and I am currently using the Mobil 1 in the Spyder. These are both EXCELLENT oils for motorcycles that lubricate the engine, clutch, and transmission from a common sump. I dought that one could find any better regradless of the brand. I will not use the BRP oil.:spyder:
 
Well, I am sold on Royal Purple. Comes down to what one feels is right for him/her. In the end, it's the engine running that wins out.

I have never used Royal Purple motor oil; However, if it is pure synthetic and JASCO MA/MA2 certified I'm sure it is a fine oil.:thumbup:
 
I'VE USED AMSOIL FOR THE PAST 2000 MILES IN MY SPYDER WITH NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER. PLAN TO CONTINUE USING IT.
 
I started using Amsoil about 9 years ago in my truck and was so impressed with the increased gas mileage, smoother cold starting, lower operating temps, and extended drain intervals that I became an Amsoil dealer about 3 years ago and run it exclusively in every engine I own including my Spyder,cars, lawnmowers, snowmobiles, outboard motors, etc. I have customers who have over 150,000 miles on their vehicles and they run like new while only having to change oil every 25,000 miles. Amsoil is the original synthetic oil for over 35 years. There are other synthetic oils out there but no other company has as much experience with synthetic oils, has as many long term loyal customers, and stands behind their product as well as Amsoil. For the cost and proven performance, there isn't a better choice than Amsoil.
 
Amsoil was the first synthetic invented and is very good. i'am sure royal purple is just fine. i have a 2009 scion XB with 3000 miles on it that came with regular 10w-40 bulk oil i just switched to mobil 1 5w-20 syn i will let you know how i make out with that in 5000 miles.
 
I mostly use Spectro oils in my Spyder but last summer I put in Amsoil 10W40 and used Amsoil 0W40 in it this past winter. The Spyder ran just as good with the Amsoil as with either the Spectro or BRP oils.
