Dude get over yourself. You drive a grocery-getter Cobalt with a turbo. It's a Cobalt man.
Royal Purple I would use in a DRAG Mustang (Notch), LS1 (Camaro SS), etc. Not a Cobalt, it's a waste, there is no point, and no benefit, at all. And even if there was, the difference would be so miniscule that it would be horribly insignificant anyhow.

you sir are cracking me up... have you seen the effects of garbage oil on engine internals... i seen a side by side compro of a cobalt that had ran mobil 1 from the start and a cobalt that switched to royal purple after the first oil change and had ran it ever since and the outcome was almost unbelieveable. both cars were treated similar when it came to the drivers driving habits so thats is not a factor. the cams, crank, rods everything showed heat discoloration in the mobil 1 engine. that stuff is junk and after seeing that ill never run anything other than RP again. the RP engine was clean as a whitsle internally and not a single bit of discoloration anywhere to be seen. i suggest you stop spreading your opinion on here because its not factual. its just yur opinion.

God, I can't believe people run Amsoil in these ****-boxes.. What a ******* waste..
Use Mobil-1 Fully Synthetic, and your engine will not fail due to oil performance problems longer than you will ever own the car.
Hell, Valvoline has a 200,000 mile guarantee on their ****.
I just can't justify wasting $70 on Amsoil + $5 for a filter + tax. On a ******* Cobalt.

But Mobil 1 isn't BAD oil so I use what they say. Just because its an advertisment gimic doesn't mean it's a scam or bad for your car.
Personally, I think just about any name brand Full Synthetic, 5W-30 oil would probably be fine.

You beat me to it! Motul is just as good as RP but doesnt have the sheering off problem that many see with RP. If you're involved in autox/drag/road racing with your cobalt, I highly suggest Motul. But I use 5w-30

I'm saying Amsoil that is $10 a quart is doing absolutely nothing different that any other synthetic oil on the market. It's all marketing hype.
i know its a grocery getter cobalt, but i intend to keep it for a long time. i take care of my cars, most people will agree that royal purple is better than mobil 1 in the long run. its especially good for if you autocross, id trust it more than mobil 1. im actually considering amsoil more, that **** worked wonders in my old honda
What do you mean "worked miracles"? What, you change your oil, tear it down to the short-block, then put it back together, and run Amsoil, then do it again? I think you're full of it. That or you're hyping. Honestly.

Sorry dude, that's just not proof. Once again. Hype backed up by zero claims. Companies spend MILLIONS each year on testing their oil on a very strict basis for performance, emissions, fuel economy, wear factors, etc. Your one encounter on two random vehicles doesn't really justify your explanation.
Most of these guys need to quit watching the Speed channel, and put down the MotorTrend magazine.
