Why do I spend the dollars? because the oil runs thru the turbo which gets VERY hot if you really give it a hard time like I do. gees, I gotta get a photo of the turbo/maifold/DP glowing BRIGHT one day... its like someone stuck a neon under the bonnet when ya pop the hood lol ..... The ester oil can handle MUCH higher temps than a PAO synthetic and have 0% shear loss.if your not gonna drive it hard though, dont waste your money on the ester oil, a PAO is plenty fine...

I just use a full synthetic and penrite it was last time. I did hear of this royal purple for the first time only yesterday when I saw it in a mates shop.And who wanted the glowing turbo pic?
