I have Royal Purple 20-50 in my V-twin custom,(103CI, dynoed at 111 HP at the wheel) and 15-40 in my boat (5.7 chevy) I have always used it in the V-twin so I cant compare it to any thing else. After 600 miles it still only has 1 and 2% leakage past rings I think all the synthetic is probly similar. I will be switching the boat to Mobil 1 next year because it is easer to find.

I use Castrol Syntec 5w-50 in my 88 Chevy truck with a 305. Now at 378,000 miles it still runs like new and doesn't burn or leak a drop of oil. I change the filter at 3500 miles and then change the oil and filter at 7,500 and the oil is still pretty clean. Oh yea, I am on my third 700R-4

You guys really need to check into Amsoil synthetic products. They have every synthetic product you can think of. Hey Kid, do NOT use the mobil one, it is actually worse than running regular valvoline! There have been test done by independant labs showing which oils perform the best. Amsoil synthetics were more consistent than any other oil. Also they are USA made.

thanks for the tip Church. I guess I need to fing a dealer for AMS oil. When I first bought the boat I used Ams oil, but that is kinda hard to get also (around here). I have used Ams oil in my air compressor for ten years now, but I can allways get it at the anual swap meet every year ( compressor dealer).

I only want to sell products that are proven to be the best. That is the reason I sell Amsoil. If you dont see what you are looking for call or e-mail me. I have the sheet showing the results of the test too.
