Royal Purple Develops High
Performance Street Engine Oils
October 28, 2011 -- Royal Purple has released a new line of motor oil
aimed at the street/performance enthusiast market. For several years, the
American Petroleum Institute (API) has been reducing the maximum limits of
common anti-wear zinc/phosphorus anti-wear additives in motor oils via
their self-governed licensing program. These changes have left many
consumers struggling to find an alternative to the more expensive and
difficult to find racing oils. To address this void, Royal Purple is
introducing its High Performance Street (HPS) motor oil to consumers with
performance/modified engines and vehicles that have exceeded the factory
warranty period.
HPS is formulated with Royal Purple’s proprietary Synerlec® additive
technology and utilizes a more robust zinc/phosphorous anti-wear package
than API currently allows. Synerlec provides exceptional oil film strength
and the load carrying capability needed by flat tappet and/or high lift
camshafts, as well as outstanding oxidation resistance as compared to
common mineral or synthetic API-licensed engine oils. Royal Purple’s HPS
provides the ideal solution for performance enthusiasts looking for added
protection.
“Oil specifications are now more focused on emissions equipment
compatibility at the expense of valve train protection. As a performance
oil manufacturer, we felt the need to tailor an oil line to the needs of
our performance-minded customers,” said Jared Martin, Royal Purple
National Account Manager and STLE Certified Lubrication Specialist.
“Customers can now have the best of both worlds. They can select our API
licensed motor oil for their car(s) under warranty needing emission
compliant API motor oil. Those wanting more performance and wear
protection can select HPS for modified vehicles and those no longer under
warranty.”
HPS rounds out Royal Purple’s lines of motor oils and XPR formulated for
racing engines. “HPS is a very cost-effective alternative to our XPR line
for customers looking for the ultimate in street performance,” added
Martin.
Royal Purple HPS is available in several popular multi-viscosity grades
for both gas and diesel engines: 5W20, 5W30, 10W30, 10W40 and 20W50.
