Well I was at Wal Mart today for some marine gear oil and noticed Royal Purple 0W20 five quart jugs clearanced for 21.00. Regularly 37.00. I bought 2 of them. Never used it before but for that price I figured I'd try it out. Going in the Corolla soon and maybe the Tundra.
Royal Purple first time buyer.

The problem with RP is that it is normally priced at $37 for a jug at Wally World when equally as good oil (M1 EP for instance) is over $10 cheaper.
But for $21, go for it!

Great find!
My wife and I use Royal Purple. She has 5W20 in her vehicle and mine calls for 5W30 which is in it.

Weird... tons of cars now use 0w20... and almost zero cars spec 10w30... you'd think the 10w30 would be on clearance.

Go for it! I will keep an eye out for it at my local WM.
My local Walmart has quart bottle for $5/qt and $30 for 5-qt jug. Who in their right mind would buy 5-qt jug for $30 ?
Quaker State yesterday was $21.97 for a 5 quart bottle. If Royal Purple was at that price, I'd try it. But at $37.00, them Royal Purple dudes can keep it.
I cleaned the shelf at a WalMart near Madison last weekend ($5/Qt)and found a half dozen more today at the local WM for $3/qt. Enough for 3 oil changes in my Tacoma.
I wondered if there was some kind of recall - why's all the Royal Purple on sale?

Since Walmart already stocks Synpower, to stock RP as well is redundant.

RP is a really good product.. But I noticed A LOT of valve train noise in my car after sitting for like 12 hrs or more. Went away pretty quick but never heard that before or since. I certainly would not tell someone not to run RP in their cars or trucks. Not my place
RP makes good oil. But their SM formulation had better VOA than the newest SN. TBN was over 11 in SM and less than 8.5 in the SN .. Still solid but a decent drop off. Surprised me a good bit when I saw that. Now their oil filters are awesome. Expensive but you get what you pay for. Awesomenes .

That is strange. I don't know about in your neck of the woods, but here, Canadian Tire discontinued almost all of their 10w-30 synthetics some time ago.

Yet on the HDEO side of the aisle, 5, 10, and now 15W 30s and 40's are just building up steam. I wouldn't call 10W-30 obsolete just yet.
