I found some Royal Purple Motor Oil for sale, but it's 10W 30. My 3.1L says 5W 30 on the engine.

Is it this possible to use the Royal Purple 10W 30 anyways?

Thanks

And the reason Modified Mag says its the best oil out there is..... because its purple! (Yes, I read the article, and no, there was no information presented to make it better than any other oil besides the fact its purple)

Barnies purple....and he turned out to be something way different then everyone expected....so if you want to base your oil off colour you might get a suprise .... the Chevy 2 runs it and its 100x better then other synthetic oils, its more viscouse then other types of synthetic oils.

Is that because you don't want it to fall apart?

So Your saying royal purple is better than Mobil 1? I've always used Mobil 1 I thought it was like the best. I was looking online, and I can get royal purple for about the same price as Mobile 1. So let Me know if its better oil and I'll switch! lol

I don't get how one test can get different results than another test? So what are Your guys opinions, is royal purple or mobil1 full synthetic better?
