Anyone running Royal Purple?

So.. I'm getting quite lost in this thread..

Which is a thinner oil? 5w20 or 5w30?

and also is thinner better?

What do you guys think about the Motul 300V line of oils.. =P compared with the RP motor oils? (mainly the 300V Power Racing)

Last thing.. are some of you saying the RP motor oils are semi synthetic?

Thanks in advance =)

You may want to try the Motul BMW LL01, prob the best all round oil around. I'll attach the spec sheet. The 300 v while it may work on the street for a bit is a racing oil. Sometimes they lower the detergency to reduce preignition, you need that detergency on a street motor. Cheers!

Jesus Christ folks the world ain't goin end because you guys have different opinions on oil.

i use pennzoil platinum 05/30 but frankly i think our cars engine would run just fine on ANY 5/30 syn or dino
hell if you want to run something other that what Toyota says go for it just don't cry when you break it !

In Australia, it doesn't seem like we have a particular oil by Motul listed as BMW LL01.. But I've come across this one which does have the BMW LL-01 approval, is this the Australian Market equivalent?
Motul 8100 X-Max

The specifications seem similar - 100% synthetic, ester based, 5w30..
