1skss Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Any suggestions on switching from Mobil 1 oil to royal purple..?just wondering if I need to do a flush before I go ahead n throw the new oil. My truck is a 05 awd with about 89k now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverado777 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Nope you should be able to just throw it in. If you are concerned about it you can run a quart of RP through it after you drain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1skss Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Not really just being safe,thought I'd get a couple opinions. Which oil you running by the way 10w30 or 5..??? I've heard it's best for us to run 10 since its so hot here in Vegas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1skss Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Cool well I bought what the cap says so looks like I'll just throw the purple stuff in tonight. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avtonomb Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 When I switched from Mobil to RP I noticed no difference. Later on i did my oil change at 5k miles and i did RP again, I got an oil analysis done and the oil still had some life left in it. So it looks like it lasts awhile?

1skss Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Yeah I've heard allot of good stuff about both oils. Rp is more $$$ but it seems worth it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 AMSOIL ftw!!! I would never use royal purple just because of a story a guy told me once but each to there own. I like everyone have an opion. I personally think Amsoil is the best oil out there. Just my opion.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I ran rp ever since I got my truck, never a problem. Mobil 1, Amsoil, RP are all great oils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
