Good stuff. I watched a feature on it on the Power Block this weekend. Seems to be as good as they advertise... not just hype.

I always used Mobile1, but if I knew what I do now, I'd use RP. :yes:

You can order Royal Purple online. I'm sure somebody will send it to the U.K. If not that, go with Mobile One Synthetic.
