Royal Purple is a premium high performance oil filter that meets or exceeds the performance of todays leading filter brands.

Need took into those, thx Roger, anyone ever have a filter burst?that would be ugly for sure.

 

[Dave S 2]

Leave it to Rodger to report the latest RP product...



If anyone here has burst a filter on a ST, I'll be the first to congratulate em.:lol:

 

[Bob McDonald]

I have seen only one oil filter burst and that was an awful long time ago. Also, it was on a serious drag racing car with a beefed up oil pump.

I had one burst once...



Right as the dead deer's head hit it in the side.

 

[ray moyer]

anyone kno how much those will be???

 

[OFF TRAC]

Seen them at Pep Boys here in Austin TX for around $14 bucks.



Doing a bit of seaching it appears that they are currently available only at Pep Boys and that they will be available at other auto parts retailers this November.

My question is? Are these for real or just package with the royal purple logo? Champion labs make filters for alot of labels(brands). So is it just packaged with a higher price?

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

OFF TRAC,



Pep Boys here in Sacramento is exactly where I saw them. Same price too.



Eddie,



I looked at their home page too, and saw that they also make the K&N oil filter. My guess is that they make each filter to the spec. of the label on it.

 

[ray moyer]

hm... does anyone know if its gonna filter better than the K&N or about the same...

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

Reaper,



Since the RP oil filter just came on the market, and the K&N oil filter is about a $1.00 less, my suspicion is that they are going to be pretty close.

Advance Auto parts has a special until 4/16/09 where you get 5qts of Castrol Syntec AND a K&N filer for 24.99!:banana:

Keep in mind that the engines are designed to work with the factory filter.I was told by a GM engineer that "over filtering" the oil can be as harmful as under filtering. The oil has built in detergents and other particles to protect your engine,if these are removed (as they sometimes are)by micro-filtering it will affect the viscosity.
