Switching to RP?
Next oil change I plan on switching EVERYTHING over to Royal Purple. It'll be at the 95k mark.
I only use Amsoil in the toys, have never tried RP but have been reading a lot of good stuff about it. Anybody here running RP?

when switching to synthetic do the following:
1st change 1/4 synt 3/4 reg
2nd change 1/2 - 1/2
3rd 3/4 - 1/4
4th full
do these at 1k to slowly get rid of the gunk in the engine safely

I've already been running synthetic. Depending on price I'll probably stay with Amsoil. My truck doesn't have an owners manual in it, does anyone know of an online one? I'd rather not spend $40 just to find out what fluids the truck calls for.

What is the point in this? There is no reason to do this, if you are talking about getting the conventional out to go to synthetic...both conventional and synthetic oils are 100% compatible with each other.

2006 Hemi 5.7l.. Sorry bout that.
Just so there is no misinformation, I have been running the cheaper synthetics in my truck but have always used Amsoil products in my ATV's. December I plan on switching all fluids in my truck over to a true synthetic, I read good things about Royal Purple and considered making the switch but will probably just stick with what I run in my toys.

What kind of filter are you using? you will want to get a good one if you are going to run the RP on an extended drain interval...I suggest Wix...
