All their oil line up is Group IV except for their break in oil and all of them are guaranteed for 12,000 miles(yes even the API certified line)
Funny thing is I can get this deal all the time because its a normal price and not some sale price.
I guess love blinds all.
Look at PAO. http://exxonmobilchemical.ides.com/en-US/ds133853/SpectraSyn%E2%84%A2%208.aspx?I=30156&U=1
Then look at RP API TDS.

The flash points, pumping viscosity, NOAK's, do not match up. Even with the added VII's, additives, and ect into the finished product do not match the performance of virgin PAO. I do not understand why people have such a strong desire to support a company that has dubious advertising practices and will stretch the truth of it's product and performance to artificially inflate it's products laboratory performance.
Who knows about it HPS line? Because the technical data sheets are microscopic pictures of used bearing surfaces.

People will pay more for anything.
I'd rather pay more to a company that lets me know exactly what base stock and additive package they use(if you dont believe them that's your problem. I believe them because they haven't given me a reason not to take their word) then use a blender that tells me its proprietary information.
I understand my point may be hard to understand. RP API does not have performance of virgin PAO thus how can it be PAO based?
I understan what you are saying. Royal Purple techs tell me that it is PAO base. Until someone does an independant test to prove otherwise I'll take their word for it. I dont put too much emphasis on PDS data sheets because those are just numbers that people extrapolate here on BITOG but at the end of the day all those extrapolation/discussion are merely all opinion based.
