The XPR is good oil. I have been running it on the evo for the last 1.5 years.

That is a good deal and royal purple isnt bad .

If you are running an fp turbo I would like a little more additives (zinc/phos) than royal pruple offers though.

RP is trash.

Run a mans oil in a mans car. AMSOIL is the only way to go

Ive ran mobile 1 for two years and never had a problem with it. It comes down to personal choice but AMSOIL is the best by far.
