Nice video. It would be interesting to see that compared to a K&N HP. that is what i run and would consider moving towards RP if the K&N is not as good.
come on people since when are the oil filters we have been using for years all of a sudden a big deal when it comes to the cunstruction? Some get opened up and now it's the end of the world? it's not like we are comparing motor oils.
Honestly this is a bad comparison. That's a Champion Labs E-Core filter your comparing to. It's there low end cheap filter. A better comparison would have been either a K&N or Mobil 1 filter. Both of which are also manufactured by Champion Labs and are synthetic fiber based filters. Based on other videos I've seen here on Youtube, all 3 are the same internally.
Royal Purple topped K&N and Mobil1 Oil Filters. NOW, Amsoil Ea filters have topped the RP oil filter. Good news, any one of these are great and apparently getting better!
Honestly, RP is only good if you have an expensive performance car, use RP everything, change oil every 4k miles, and have the money to keep maintenance going. As an everyday driving car, there is no use for RP unless you feel good about it. It has a great oil filament that breaks down quickly and performs best under high heat and use. Everyday most people drive normally, get a middle ground oil that you change every 3.5-4k miles, with a k&n oil filter you change every 7-8k miles, works for me
Honestly, I think all car manuals in the world, say change this and change that at 30,000 miles, oil at 4,000 miles, and give you shitty oem parts just so your car can stay healthy through 100,000 so your WARRANTY can be up and they never have to see your ass again for free
@ExtremePeppers - Using pour in oil additives will upset the delicate chemical balance of a motor oil and can have unplanned and negative affects. Modern oils already have all the chemicals they need in the oil. Using a pour in oil additive will also void the warranty of the motor oil.
@TheDennyvu - Good post. You are right, a synthetic oil should never be asked to withstand the rigors of extended drain intervals unless it is specifically formulated to do so. Most of the, "synthetic", oils on the market today are not formulated or recommended for extended drain intervals. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils have a recommended and warranted drain interval of up to 25,000 miles. Look on my channel for the 409,000 mile oil change video. Enjoy. :)
Good vid I have always wondered if there was a difference between filters. Although I think a better comparison would have been to compare it to the K&N brand since both K&N and Royal are both marketed towards the same type of car enthusiest.
I don't care how good oil filter is and the kind of oil you should never go past 3,000 miles oil change your just asking for trouble id rather pay 20.00 for oil change then a 7,000 engine swap
@12344richard so you don't trust the people who engineered your vehicle when they specifically say 10000 miles or once a year (10,000 miles is an example in manuals), whichever comes first?
@ExtremePeppers my 2007 impala i used wix or purolator purone filters w/ mobil 1 or castrol synthetic oil. Never once did i chance my oil any where near 3k mlies. more like Id change it every 6-7K miles and at 82k miles it still ran great and got 29mpg...
@crappy60 your post is missing VALUABLE information. You should get your oil analyzed before even considering going 15,000 miles. Only THEY can suggest to you if the oil will more than likely hold up for 15,000 based on your driving habits.
Do they make an oil filter that is larger, around the same size as the K&N oil filter? I really like the little extra oil I can fill in there, but filtration and reliability is a major concern for me. 1997 Ford 5.0l

I remember there were some forum members on a 350Z website I'm a member of. Many members sent their used oil to a lab in Arizona for analysis. Turns out that at least for the VQ35DE engine, Royal Purple was one of the WORST PERFORMING oils on the matrix and showed high content of various metals. The best performing was Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 0w-40 which I use in my turbo Z.
@BlueonGoldZ Mobil 1 is a ok synthetic , it could be the metal content in the test could be caused by the additives in the oil itself ,things like ZDP, molebemem . They have even introduced titaniam as a additive, what I'm geting at is if the testing company dosent have a base line for metalic additives you could get a false positive. Since the EPA requires a 100K waranty on emmision devices theyv'e taken a lot of the metalic additives out of oil, esp ZDP.
@Stevenhiggles Yeah. I fell in to the hype of Royal Purple but decided to go back to Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 0w-40. I'm pretty sure that Royal Purple is better than conventional oils but the analysis from the 350Z members unanimously showed RP did the worst and had the highest traces of certain metals. Just be safe and go with one of the oil powerhouses like Mobil, Castrol, Penzoil, Valvoline etc.
@BlueonGoldZ Well shit. I did a shit ton a research before I went syn and after I did I saw this xD wow Well when I change it out I'll go with Mobile 1.
@Stevenhiggles What kind of research did you do? Nothing hits home harder than seeing fellow website members turn in their used oil to an independent lab and see how certain oils perform. When it comes to oil tests, there is really no other research you can do that will provide the results you need other than a lab test.
@BlueonGoldZ Well I saw nothing that your talking about. Just a shit ton of assumptions. I was thinking on Amsoil or RP.....hmmmmmm but I could switch over next change to Mobile 1
@BlueonGoldZ - Oil analysis tests are a wonderful way of, "looking inside", an engine and finding out what is really going on in there. However, used oil analysis tests are for determining the condition of *that* oil sample only and not for making generalizations regarding different oil brands. There are too many uncontrolled variables for that to be valid, or in other words, the engine operating conditions vary so much from vehicle to vehicle.
Does Amsoil sponsor any NASCAR cars? If so I have never seen it and been into Nascar now for 21 yeras. I know when Jeff Gordon when on his Championship runs he ran Quaker State Full Synthetic with awesome results.
@JayzBeerz wow you are a retard any company can throw money at a car and get them to put your sticker on the car many teams run a different oil that their sponser
hey i have a 700hp rx7,rotary engine,with 4 others friends as well,the oil dissapers from the engines,the dearler in trinidad told us to use the xpr rp oil,i got a diffrience but the red line, and castrol syn was better for i=us,i would not recommed royal purple to any one sorry,the car vis on youtube peter laquis 20b 2nd gen rx7,
Why did Royal Purple did not go with WIX or Purolator filter is the real question. This is a dumb PR move on Royal Purple pick company that uses "nylon core" in the oil filters.
I've got one year from starting from last week until I rip apart Royal Purple's filter from my car. I've searched the net for photos or reviews of them and how they turned out after the claimed 12,000 oil+filter change interval. But not avail so I'm going to see it myself.
Fuck it just change your oil. I use Royal Purple and filter in my race car. I Use just Kendall and what ever filter i can find; for my dailey driver in my Camaro. And the motor is still going and it has 260,000 miles.Yes i bought the car brand new. Just change your oil people.I think for a daily driver its a wast of money if you ask me. why go longer change it keep it clean.

Not impressed, not enough filtering pleats. It may filter just fine 'n all, but a clogged up filter doesn't do you any good either, I'll stick with WIX
Yeah, STP is the other one he is comparing it to. Junk, do not use. Paper end caps are awful. Leak and let particles get around them. Fram are awful too. Just about any other filters besides STP and Fram are okay. Wix is the best for the price. Built better than the Royal purple one, but the filter element is not as good but larger and uses a real spring not a cheap leaf type spring. Way cheaper and more realistic price for a regular car.
In fact, we know of several major NASCAR and Indy racing teams that use AMSOIL in their race cars yet the oil sponsors logo on the hood and quarter panels is not what is in the vehicle! They want you to believe it is..... but it isn't. Fact is, every successful major race car in the world uses synthetics, and an extremely large percentage of them use AMSOIL synthetics.
@WolfesAmsoilShop again, another "copy and paste" from more amsoil propaganda. is there anything you can come up with that isn't from their "brochure"?
@WolfesAmsoilShop amsoil's comments are not facts because they say they are facts. amsoil has absolutely ZERO proof of any results of any formal testing of their products. Testing equipment doesn't print off generic bar graphs you see on the amsoil pages. Now that, my uneducated amsoil dealer, is FACT!
@kemorc - AMSOIL has a large quantity of industry standard test results comparing their products with competitive products. Apparently you weren't aware of this, so for just one example, do a Search on YouTube using Keywords --> Motorcycle_Oils_Compared.f4v Enjoy. :)
ive been driving cars for over 45 yrs and somehow managed to escape oil filter damage from stones flying up from the road. I guess thats because my oil filter orientation is always mounted on the engine which is typically located BETWEEN the tires of the vehicle. I suppose if your oil filter were located directly behind the tire, it would make sense to be concerned about the thickness of the filter case. Or perhaps off-roaders might benefit with the thicker case.
@Kara0ki Probably not a huge concern for street driven cars, but you're right, off road enthusiasts, and anyone who races will appreciate the heavier case. Oiling down race tracks after wrecks is dangerous and consumes tons of time for cleanup, and if a stronger case can help prevent that, it's a good thing. Thanks for your comment!
@Kara0ki ive been a mechanic for about 40 years and seen filters explode at start up and the customer would drive their vehicle to the repair shop to find out what the leak was only to ruin thier engine funny but their is a differance in qualilty of filters used and the experiance of the user
I know so far from what I heard this and amsoil synthetic oil is good if not great, but if its so "good" why cant I find ANY of it in ANY auto part store such as Autozone or a Shucks oreilly? You'd thing a hi-grade, hi performance synthetic oil would at least be found there, and not make it an buy online only.
I mean they could of been sold out but if it really is a "buy online only" that says (to me) "not for you, only for rich people" and "Is this stuff REALLY any good at all?"
@GANTZ100pts Amsoil = multi-level marketing. that is why you will NOT see it UNLESS that particular dealer/franchisee applied to get into that multi-level marketing crap. Amsoil can not be bought through a distributor, which is where most parts stores go through.
"with the worlds first API rated, 100% synthetic motor oil pioneered way back in 1972"... API rated, not certified.
Still under warranty? Read your manual and find out what yours says. Most will say to use only API certified oils. For gasoline engines, that means only Amsoil's OE and XL oils. For Diesel, you have the option of their PCO.You still have to change your oil accordingly to your manual/computer. Manufactures will void warranty for failures due to extended intervals.
@kemorc - Dear sir, it must be brought to light, (for credibility reasons of course), that in 1972, there was *no API certified oils*. Can you tell us which Royal Purple oils are API certified? Credibility again. Manufacturers can't void any new car warranty's based solely on extended drain intervals. That's illegal. Credibility mon ami, credibility!
@HiTechOilCo Royal Purple API certified oils: 0w-40, 5w-40, 15w-40, 10w-30, 10-40, 30, 40, 50, 20w-50, 5w-20, 5w-30.
If there were no API certified oils in 72, it is a moot point for amsoil to say they were the first API "rated", since it would mean absolutely nothing.
Not one manufacturer will warranty a engine failure due to oil failure because the owner exceeding the specified oil change interval by the manufacturer. I have been told that I'd have to take it up with the oil company.
@erectionaffection - You can contact those manufacturers and ask them what the filtration micron rating is and the efficiency rating is. Aside from basic construction, this will tell you which oil filter is best for you.
@erectionaffection the biggest difference is the filter material. They sell for roughly the same price at 12-15 bucks. They are both made in the same building.Personally, that's a helluva deal for what you get. Other oil "dealers" are feeling a little bit of competition, but all they have for their argument is: who has the better micron rating? How long have they been making filters? Fact is, Champion Labs makes them, and they know what they are doing and are producing damn fine filters for RP.
@WolfesAmsoilShop no you don't, you are buying an overpriced filter that is known to not make it 25,000 miles on dozens of different vehicles. Heck, AMSOIL's TSB's specifically tell you NOT to use their filters on DOZENS of vehicles. Any knowledgeable Amsoil "dealer" would know this.
@kemorc Well if you are as knowledgeable as you think you are you should have been able to read what I said. I didn't say that Amsoil made 25,000 mile filters for all vehicles. Amsoil is and always has been the undisputed leader in synthetics since 1972. You know the phrase that says Amsoil THE FIRST IN SYNTHETICS? If not you can always go to their website and find out all the answers about synthetic oil and filters.
@WolfesAmsoilShop if amsoil was so great, they wouldn't be selling to a nobody like you via multi-level marketing. it would simply sell itself. how many nascar teams use amsoil? Zero. How many Le mans teams use amsoil? None. How many IRL teams use amsoil? None. Formula one? None.
@kemorc AMSOIL is "The First in Synthetics" and also the first in quality, protection and performance. Every other oil company in the world was given the chance to object when AMSOIL applied for trademark rights to "The First in Synthetics", yet after 90 days of waiting, not a single one objected!
@kemorc The U.S. Patent and Trademark Officials stated that by claiming that AMSOIL was the first historically, that AMSOIL was also insinuating to be the best (or #1/first) from a quality or performance standpoint. AMSOIL showed the government officials comparison documentation and test data backing up the claim that AMSOIL was also the best.
@WolfesAmsoilShop the best huh? How come only the XL and OE oils are the ONLY oils that are API certified? You know... missing that little certification that is usually required by MOST vehicle manufacturers to KEEP an engine warranty.
@kemorc After the government officials notified all other oil manufacturers that AMSOIL was claiming to be the best, not a single other oil company or competitor objected! Not a peep from any of them! I can guarantee you that if any of these competitors and major oil companies had a product better than AMSOIL they would have objected.
@kemorc I guess royal purple don't give you that advantage. Maybe it's they just don't have it in words for you to copy much easier then typing. Laffs
@kemorc In fact, we know of several major NASCAR and Indy racing teams that use AMSOIL in their race cars yet the oil sponsors logo on the hood and quarter panels is not what is in the vehicle! They want you to believe it is..... but it isn't. Fact is, every successful major race car in the world uses synthetics, and an extremely large percentage of them use AMSOIL synthetics.
@WolfesAmsoilShop so... the user name "WolfesAmsoilShop" and you spouting nothing but trademarked amsoil propaganda has nothing to do with trying to sell a product? The name "shop" in your username has absolutely ZERO to do with selling?
We know exactly who these racing teams are but are not permitted to advertise who they are because they have such a large amount of money at stake with their sponsors wanting the public to believe they are using the brand of oil that is is advertised on the car.
@kemorc - No one in NASCAR uses AMSOIL? Again, more misinformation. Mark Martin won a NASCAR Championship using AMSOIL. Untold numbers of racing teams in virtually all forms of racing use AMSOIL products with great success. Three Time Indy 500 Champion and many time Pike's Peak Hill Climb Champion Bobby Unser has used AMSOIL for many years. Check the video's on my channel and see for yourself. :)
@kemorc - I meant to say ASA Championship. He won *four of them* and has used AMSOIL. Many racers use AMSOIL products all across the country and with great success.
@HiTechOilCo That was ASA, that still isn't Nascar. They clearly state that they know who is USING amsoil in Nascar.as in currently using it. Not: "they USED Amsoil in nascar", as in the past.
10-4... completely understood. that's a blanket statement for saying that you don't have an answer. They say "we know of several major NASCAR and Indy racing teams that use AMSOIL". MAJOR! Major teams! Now, they wouldn't lie to sell a product now would they, I mean, they are dealers after all.
@kemorc In fact until recently many of these manufacturers never had a synthetic (except Mobil1). They were too busy trying to debunk the benefits of synthetics to the average consumer! Now, technology, competition and consumer demand has forced every major oil manufacturer to have a synthetic, and they are now also claiming the same benefits that at one time they were trying to debunk, but yet not a single one even comes close to offering the protection and performance that AMSOIL does.
@WolfesAmsoilShop And if YOU could read, you'd have read that NO OTHER TESTING is done on Amsoil products except BY someone who has ties WITH amsoil. Nothing is independent with amsoil.
@WolfesAmsoilShop come to think of it... there never is any real result shown... just a generic bar graph. Not once do they show any REAL evidence of it getting tested.
Anyone that wants maximum quality for their engine, I recommend the following .....use "Royal Purple" oil, with a "K&N" oil filter, a "Z" oil additive and finnaly a "STP"(Black Bottle) fuel additive, this will do all the good work for the engine =D
@keithgreen441 - Just to give you a tip, adding a pour in oil additive to any oil will void the warranty on that oil. A good oil doesn't need nor will benefit from a pour in oil additive. Many of these companies have been fined by the Federal Trade Commission for false advertising, making bogus claims.
Maximum quality can come from maximum experience, which in this case would be AMSOIL Inc., with the worlds first API rated, 100% synthetic motor oil pioneered way back in 1972. Check my channel.
@HiTechOilCo Yeah ...I cant argue about that , I've heard its a risk adding oil additive to a good oil brand, but hey, on my Silverado, it made alot of difference, and man , you know how delicate Silverados are LOL !! Ford trucks dont need that much of attention =D
25 microns at 90%. Excellent. The AMSOIL Absolute Efficiency oil filter is 98.7% efficient down to 15 microns. In the 1988 Correlating Lube Oil Filtration Efficiencies With Engine Wear technical paper published by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the relationship between filtration levels and abrasive engine wear was established.Testing determined that wear was reduced by as much as 70 percent by switching from a 40 micron filter to a 15 micron filter. More info at my channel.
@HiTechOilCo This gentleman was MISTAKEN when he said 90%. The actual percentage is WELL OVER 99%. 5:54 on the video, you'll see that it says "over 99%" when showing the Royal Purple webpage. I like AMSOIL, but with RP, I've personally seen +7mpg on my Honda Accord, +5mpg on an old Cadillac, and +11mpg on the highway on my Saturn. Now, with a filter that lasts (on a healthy, good-running car) the recommended oil change interval (printed on the box 12K mi.), it makes using RP that much easier.
@StoryAngel - If you enjoy the shorter drain intervals of RP, that is of course your prerogative. It does appear to everyone that your opinion is extremely biased/tainted.
@HiTechOilCo Hey man have a question. At the lower the micron a filter filters oil doesn't that not also slow down the amount of oil that flows through it? Just heard a few people mention this on oil forums.
i like royal purple but since they have became more popular there prices have gone up its around 7 to 9 dollars in California i remember when it was 5 bucks a qt its out of my price range now but i alway recommend it to every one i use to change oil i would sell customers royal purple befor any other brand
@ZONER4201 - Better synthetic oils can save a lot of money vs lower priced/performing oils. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils save me about $150 per year vs other oils. An engine worth thousands of dollars might be better off with a better oil, as could your wallet. :)
@HiTechOilCo I don't trust Royal purple simply because there's no data on their quality control practices. I started questioning this while at a NAPA store and noticed all the Royal Purple bottles were leaking and the lables were peeling off. Low quality manufacturing of the packaging reflects the creed of the company. I later read in Lubes & Greases mag that their operation works off of low inventory so they use lower cost materials and more marketing. I see them going out of business soon.
@zappatx With their 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 street oils merely being API SL rated, (which was superseded with the more up to date API SM rating years ago), one does have to wonder if RP even has the money to upgrade their oils to the more modern API SM rating. Even Wal Mart oil is API SM rated. AMSOIL products are top notch and lead the industry. I'm an independent AMSOIL synthetic lubricants dealer. Check out my channel and enjoy all the great video's on oils, filters, racing, etc. :)
@HiTechOilCo So, your opinion is bought and paid for by AMSOIL.
The first rule of competition is:
1) Acknowledge and respect your competition. Failure to do so only hurts your credibility.
Slinging mud about a competitor only makes it look like you have something to hide. Give credit where credit is due, and in turn you will have more credibility. Saying that RP isn't incredible, or great, or even good...is like saying Porsche is a lousy car company because they don't make a pickup truck.
@StoryAngel - Sir, I don't, "sling mud", and I don't appreciate the mis-truth. The first rule of being a decent human being is not state mis-truths about others. That only hurts your credibility.
@zappatx And I've been to their HQ. Their ad budget is over 90% less than almost all of their competition.
I also happen to know that their automotive lubricants branch of the business, while much smaller than their industrial lubricant business, has been growing to the tune of 40%-60% per year, 7 years running. Low inventory? Out of business? Uh, no.
Complaints about leaky (roughly handled) bottles & labELs? Really? Are you aware of how utterly ridiculous that is?
@CJaguar265 as far as quality of the filter material, yes. You can usually find the RP filter for less than 13 bucks. I've got a few filters I've chopped up on my channel... I'm hunting down what I can for the FL-1A sized filters.
Nice video. It would be interesting to see that compared to a K&N HP. that is what i run and would consider moving towards RP if the K&N is not as good.

I remember there were some forum members on a 350Z website I'm a member of. Many members sent their used oil to a lab in Arizona for analysis. Turns out that at least for the VQ35DE engine, Royal Purple was one of the WORST PERFORMING oils on the matrix and showed high content of various metals. The best performing was Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 0w-40 which I use in my turbo Z.
BlueonGoldZ 10 months ago
@BlueonGoldZ Mobil 1 is a ok synthetic , it could be the metal content in the test could be caused by the additives in the oil itself ,things like ZDP, molebemem . They have even introduced titaniam as a additive, what I'm geting at is if the testing company dosent have a base line for metalic additives you could get a false positive. Since the EPA requires a 100K waranty on emmision devices theyv'e taken a lot of the metalic additives out of oil, esp ZDP.

@Stevenhiggles Yeah. I fell in to the hype of Royal Purple but decided to go back to Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 0w-40. I'm pretty sure that Royal Purple is better than conventional oils but the analysis from the 350Z members unanimously showed RP did the worst and had the highest traces of certain metals. Just be safe and go with one of the oil powerhouses like Mobil, Castrol, Penzoil, Valvoline etc.

@BlueonGoldZ - Oil analysis tests are a wonderful way of, "looking inside", an engine and finding out what is really going on in there. However, used oil analysis tests are for determining the condition of *that* oil sample only and not for making generalizations regarding different oil brands. There are too many uncontrolled variables for that to be valid, or in other words, the engine operating conditions vary so much from vehicle to vehicle.

Built better than the Royal purple one, but the filter element is not as good but larger and uses a real spring not a cheap leaf type spring. Way cheaper and more realistic price for a regular car.

ive been driving cars for over 45 yrs and somehow managed to escape oil filter damage from stones flying up from the road. I guess thats because my oil filter orientation is always mounted on the engine which is typically located BETWEEN the tires of the vehicle. I suppose if your oil filter were located directly behind the tire, it would make sense to be concerned about the thickness of the filter case. Or perhaps off-roaders might benefit with the thicker case.

@Kara0ki Probably not a huge concern for street driven cars, but you're right, off road enthusiasts, and anyone who races will appreciate the heavier case.

Still under warranty? Read your manual and find out what yours says. Most will say to use only API certified oils. For gasoline engines, that means only Amsoil's OE and XL oils. For Diesel, you have the option of their PCO.You still have to change your oil accordingly to your manual/computer. Manufactures will void warranty for failures due to extended intervals.

If there were no API certified oils in 72, it is a moot point for amsoil to say they were the first API "rated", since it would mean absolutely nothing.
Not one manufacturer will warranty a engine failure due to oil failure because the owner exceeding the specified oil change interval by the manufacturer. I have been told that I'd have to take it up with the oil company.

25 microns at 90%. Excellent. The AMSOIL Absolute Efficiency oil filter is 98.7% efficient down to 15 microns. In the 1988 Correlating Lube Oil Filtration Efficiencies With Engine Wear technical paper published by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the relationship between filtration levels and abrasive engine wear was established.Testing determined that wear was reduced by as much as 70 percent by switching from a 40 micron filter to a 15 micron filter.

@HiTechOilCo This gentleman was MISTAKEN when he said 90%. The actual percentage is WELL OVER 99%. 5:54 on the video, you'll see that it says "over 99%" when showing the Royal Purple webpage. I like AMSOIL, but with RP, I've personally seen +7mpg on my Honda Accord, +5mpg on an old Cadillac, and +11mpg on the highway on my Saturn. Now, with a filter that lasts (on a healthy, good-running car) the recommended oil change interval (printed on the box 12K mi.), it makes using RP that much easier.

Low quality manufacturing of the packaging reflects the creed of the company.

Slinging mud about a competitor only makes it look like you have something to hide. Give credit where credit is due, and in turn you will have more credibility.
