When it comes to choosing a motor oil, things can get complicated pretty fast. While choosing one might seem like a simple task, making a selection that will keep your high-horsepower build as safe as possible is an important decision, and one that you likely don’t take lightly–especially when you consider all of the advancements made in oil technology. So how do you decide? Do you use the oil your dad used? Do you ask guys on the forums what has worked best for them? Well, we have an easier solution for you. How about taking a look at one of the largest performance shops in the nation uses.

Lingenfelter Performance Engineering is one of the best known Corvette modifiers in the nation and has almost 30 years of experience building some of the fastest cars on the planet. We think it’s safe to say at this point, these guys know what they’re doing. So when it comes to selecting a motor oil to keep their customer’s builds happy, they choose Royal Purple. That’s quite an endorsement when you consider just how many builds Lingenfelter is sending out the door every year.

Oils have come a long way in a very short amount of time and Royal Purple is constantly innovating to stay on the cutting edge so you can too. Their synthetic oils offer better protection and reduced friction when compared to traditional oils. Not only that, since Royal Purple oil is less prone to thermal degradation, they typically allow for extended change intervals as well. Basically you get more power, less wear, better gas milage, and fewer oil changes–what’s not to like?

So, you can either stick with the oil your dad has been using for the last 40 years, or you can choose one that even the guys over at Lingenfelter run–seems like a pretty easy decision to us.
