I agree that it is a very good oil, and anyone that was big into bikes and quads knows Nippon is a very reputable name. But there is no way in hell i would pay $10 a quart for a engine that takes 6 quarts of oil. On a bike, sure, its only 1 quart or so.
Also, you guys that are using royal purple, that is one of the WORST oils i have ever encountered. You should see the nasty purple sludge that shit leaves in your motor. Especially in turbo cars, it ruins turbos, plugs up everything, and is generally just shit, quit using it. And no, these werent isolated incidents, it was happening to alot of people on the boards.

What bikes are you running that take 1 quart of oil? I know my 50 takes 1 quart, but my sportbikes take 4. Also, ENEOS is no good for wet clutch vehicles, so, no to 90% of sportbikes. -

GaryWow, really? My buddies turbo daytona locked his turbo up and he was using royal purple. Any support for this you can show me?

We should do a motor oil test on a car sometime when Andy is in town. Just so all the speculation on everyone's part is gone. I'd really like to see for myself to ensure that what I preach is the truth! Bring a 5 quarts of regular oil, Mobil 1, ENEOS and just see?!? That would give some HP numbers, but we would have to really run the oil for awhile to see lasting effects.

It would be neat to test the oil, but it would be difficult on a wheel dyno and a turbo car as there are so many variables that + or - 10 hp could get lost. I think the way they tested the oil on the vid was probably the most repeatable and was probably accurate. It just sucks when you don't know how objective the people running the test were.

Like keeping Air temp, intake temp, and water temp....... the same.
If a test was to be done, a stock car would be the best place to try and compair numbers. It has less variables that effect the performance.
