    Since the Hemi engine needs 7 qts. of oil, I cannot see paying almost double for Royal Purple.

    I've run Castol in my V-10, 2000 RAM 4x4 from day one, have 160k on it now
    and also on my Wife's 2006 5.7 Grand Cherokee, also from day one, now with 197,777

    That's a lot of oil.

    Amsoil would cost over $60 for 6 quarts. I couldn’t see paying that, but the Royal Purple only cost me $4.02 more than Mobil 1 would have. For $4, I figured it was worth a shot.

    Like I said, you are wasting money on that, I know just a few guys who run royal purple , and they have more high performance mods going on with their engine. Hell I have a 5.7 Hemi and run Mobil1 with a K&N filter. And I just have headers , exhaust and run a trinity tuner. Mobil1 only cost me $22.97 a jug at Wally World. And $6.97 for the extra 2quarts I have to buy.

    What can you tell me about tuners? Is there a special forum for information on them?
