Question on Royal Purple 20w50

<< < (2/4) > >>

qweedqwag:
The 20-50 does not have modifiers, you will see that more in 5-20 and 10-30 motor oils, what is normally the clue on oil bottles is if they say fuel saving or energy saving, the modifiers are working to create less friction and increase your milage 20-50 will destroy you passengers cars mileage.

justfreaky:
Yes, Royal Purple uses friction modifiers.
Read the info on their website.

Wow, more shameless self promotion...Im so ashamed!

The Max Cycle Oil 20-50 says nothing about friction modifiers here is what it said from the RP website.

Max-Cycle provides unparalleled film strength that is up to 400 percent stronger than the leading synthetic and mineral oils. Its shear stability and oxidation resistance promote greater performance and protection.

Formulated with select synthetic base oils and Royal Purple’s proprietary Synerlec additive technology, Max-Cycle greatly reduces engine wear — including ring, cylinder and bearing wear. It continuously adheres to metal surfaces, even after shutdown, to provide instant protection at startup until a full fluid film can be established.

Max-Cycle exceeds API / JASO new warranty requirements and is compatible with other mineral and synthetic motor oils. No flushing is necessary prior to use. It’s available in 10W30, 10W40 and 20W50 viscosities.

Its an additive to help the oil cling to metal parts.

Hence, a friction modifier.
