My shop uses Motul on my PCar and all the PCars.....
I'll be changing my oil soon, but I was just wondering if anyone use ROYAL PURPLE in their C4S? And if so, what weight do you use? Is it really that much better than what I've been using? I've been using Mobil1 0w-40. A friend of mine uses Royal Purple in his Benz and swears its the best oil out there, but I wonder if it's the best oil for my C4S Cab?

Thanks for the input. I might just try your "blend" of RP on my next oil change (unless someone seriously advises me against it, lol)

I was probably one of the biggest skeptics of Royal Purple as there are many of those gimmicks out there.
As I found out with my previous cars, RP definitely seems to be a great oil alternative. I haven't tried it on my Porsche yet but on previous cars, they ran smoother and revved "easier" without sounding stressed. As previous poster noticed not too much difference with Porsches and I venture to guess that RP is more beneficial to high revving engines or track cars(example, 8-9k redline motors)

Now that's a beautiful Porsche! Keeping to its original design, without the makeup, makes it one of the most beautiful Porsches. I never tire of looking at its lines. You show extreme patience from being tempted into making external changes that are not original in design.

looks just like my C4S except I have the dual oval tips and painted crests on the hubs...
still holding off on many mods.... Burks twin turbo is on top of the list.... well, after painting the bottom trim to match the rest of the car.. and turbo-P Alaruds still pending.
oil would have to be Red Line... 15-40 for mild temps
and last I checked, T= Tau. so would that be SDT.? sigma delta Tau? never heard of that one. so maybe what you have really transposed is an STD?

Hahahahahaha Jon...... STD..... hysterical my man.
Definitely get IMA's twin turbo kit. I truly love it and it keeps getting better every day. I took the GT2 wing off and went back to the stock retractable to be even more unassuming.....hahahahaha.....
