[DML] Re: Royal Purple Oil Review

["d_rex_2002" <rich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I saw the same gear head show this weekend that Cecil is referring
to on the Speed Channel (I think it was Dream Garage).  They did
replace ALL the fluids that Cecil mentioned and also replaced the
coolant with the royal purple product mixed with water and coolant.

Horsepower gain over the baseline was 8HP (up from 302HP to 310HP)
and they did mention that all the fluids together was about $100.

I do not recall if they said that they would be leaving the fluids
in for long term testing, but if you are looking to squeeze a few
more HP out of your PRV, this may be an option for some folks.
The long term wear properties were not discussed on the show.

Later,
Rich W.
