what you mean break down too fast? mine seems to be going just fine. ill check the turbo in the spring when it all comes apart.

I was probably using about 3 extra liters on top of what I would put in every 3000 miles

Now I only go through about 1 to 1.5 between every oil change
Its nicer on the wallet when it costs 3 bucks a qt instead of 13

wow, i dont burn any oil at all. my car doesnt consume hardly any between oil changes. guess im just lucky with the stuff, like i said, i will tear it apart in the spring and see.

ya but you also have a eco

ld9's were known for going through oil to begin with, with royal purple it is just much worse

Strange, my LD9 barely uses any excess oil at all, I rarely have to top mine up between oil changes. 195,000km on it, been using Mobil 5w30 since 125k, changing every 5k religiously. And this is an engine that's now been boosted for 100k.

please post.... so your saying my 10.5 air fuel wouldnt show smoke like that? i never had to add any oil to my car between changes and it BARELY moved down the dip stick. i never noticed any smoking at all ever when starting the car until recently when i did a compression test and one cylinder was a little lower than the rest. hence my belief the rings are gone in the one cylinder and why im rebuilding in the spring.

your 10.5 would show smoked during accel not decel. And I dont even think thats rich enough to show smoke, my 11.0 never did. Like when he redlined your car during the dyno run and let off oil smoke would come out for a few seconds then go away. I didn't know why and didn't bother to venture a guess

you have those vids i can check out please? i didnt have to add any oil at all that whole round trip or anything and it was pretty much the same place as always. only place i EVER saw smoke was from the oil breather under the hood which will be fixed via catch can this year.

royal purple is a problem period..i use castrol in every vehicle i own..no problems

Mine had a little bit of oil smoke at the end of a dyno run and mine never moved on the dipstick. Smoke isn't a good indicator really. It just tells you what your burning, not how much LOL.



I used to race cars, now I race myself.

If its in gear could be worn valves w/ vacuum sucking oil back into cylinders.
