I know what the bottle says. How long are folks here that use RP engine oil going between oil changes? How about filter changes? If you could say how long you've been using RP oil in your response, I'd appreciate it.



Thanks!
 
Because of the way I drive and the time that goes buy, I do mine every 5K....

I go around 10,000 between changes with RP, which is about one full year. I use a quality filter like K&N since I'm going that long. Some people just use a cheap filter and change only the filter around 5K.
 
Not Royal Purple, but I change my Pennzoil Synthetic every 5k or so, about 1-1/2 to 2 months. Motorcraft filter.
 
12-15,000 miles, castrol synthetic... 159,000 miles no issues.. in my old aerostar, dino 5w-30 every 7500 mile for 230,000 miles, no issues...
 
I've been running RP for about a year now...



Filter change (K&N) @ 5000 miles, top off.



Complete oil change @ 10000 miles.
 
Mobil 1 EP and Mobil 1 filters in everything around the house (car, Trac, John Deere, Bike). Change them all 2x a year whether they need it or not. Car goes 8k-12k; Trac goes 5k-8ki; John Deere ~30 hours; Vucan goes ~1k miles doing it this way.
 
I'm on my 3rd vehicle and use 5w20 change every 20,000 with a new filter and top off every 5,000 between changes. Oil is clean when I change.
