i run mobil-1 with a purolator pureone filter... i switched to rp for 2 oil changed and didnt like wha ti saw when changing it out at the next oil change. it came out like water, really really thin/ didnt even look like oil. i changed the rp at 3k intervals just see how it compared to mobil-1 (which i now change at 5-7k) maybe its just me but i do not want my oil breaking down that quickly. ive heard thats just how RP is thouch, i have yet to try amsoil but i am tempted on the next change if i can find it around here.
I have to say though, I like your filter choice. All the tests I've seen show about the best three are Wix, Mobil 1 and Purolator Pure One...
You sure them boys at your local store ain't waterin' down your RP?

had the same problem so i contacted them to find a local source. looked like it was going to have to be shipped and that just seemed like a hassle.

I turned my MDS off and switched to 10w-30...5-20 is **** water. I use penz platinum because it has good add packs (oil guru on another forum sent a virgin sample to blackstone for testing) and a mobil filter...has been a good combo so far. All the oils in this thread are good...you just have to decide if you want to pay more or less for good oil .

i use 5-30 synth.
hammer im sure it didnt break down quicker than mobil, it just had the consistency of water. very very thin ( and it wasnt hot either). i wish i took a vid of the oil change with RP i took the drain plug out and it came out soo fast as if it was watered down. Mobil-1 that i regularly use comes out like OIL haha. I still use RP in my bikes though and wont use anything else. also hammer the Pureone filters are the best bang for the buck, mobil-1 filters are like $10-$12, the purolator pureone is $4-$5. usually cost me $40 for oil/filter to do it myself. now whats everyone using for diff fluid and tranny fluid? im switching to synthetics for all the other fluids on my next oil change. i was going to through in mobil-1 synths in everything......

I would give 'em a try myself, to see with my own eyes, but I don't like the way they sell the product. I want to be able to go into the auto parts store and pick it up when I want to change my fluids...
