as motul and redline, i think i've read all 30 something pages of that thread about oils. rp aint bad of course and you're not going to see any detrimental effects running it. its pretty good for the price you can get it for.

haha, dude you're not giving me anything to discuss... that other thread has a heap of discussion in it by people more knowledgable than me. i'm not dissing rp - i put it in MY CAR to start with!!

buuut - Royal Purple uses a different chemistry than most oils. They are one of only a handful of marketers using Molybdenum Disulfide (Moly) in their oil. Moly is a solid material, which is specifically banned by Cummins®, due to excessive valve train wear.

Royal purple use moly.

rp is a GOOD oil, its a group IV oil, redline is a group V. i've come to my own conclusion that i would rather pay the extra for redline. i'm not really telling anyone else what they should run in their car. like i said previously, the differences most of us will notice are probably negligible when comparing quality oils such as these in daily driving situations.

after doing a bit more reading - i'll probably stick with rp for my second sub-5k oil change before going to redline (was going to try mobil 1 this time around but it appears that mobil1 is actually not considered a true group IV oil by many....

the pictures are of an oil test scanned out of a magazine I posted the pages that had Motul Redline and RP thats what I was saying to discuss lol

basically they give motul a bad wrap, say that redline was somewhat disappointing and blow major smoke up royal purples arse...

oooooh fair enough - no wonder i was like "wtf man". sorry 'bout that.

hey its not the street commodore magazine (think that was it) article is it? the one they retracted cos they used a 'useless' testing method that was actually a grease test and the manufacturers threatened some legal action??

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
