BodyGuard, go to WWW.THEBESTOIL.COM and see if you can locate a dealer in your area. if not i'll check and see what i can find and let you know. if you do have to order it i can make you a good deal on the shipped price. just let me know.

that's your opinion and you're very entitled to it. but I have personally seen the horror stories of that particular oil, so I will not use it. that is my perrogative, and you have your own.

we where running RP in our Supermodified.
was having engine problems, and sent it off, to get tore down, and checked, out.
as soon as the engine builder opened up the motor he immediatly, know what the problem was..
RP had gummed up, and was robbing our motor of HP.. had to have the whole motor tore down, cleaned, and rebuilt, to get rid of all the sludge build up..
we no longer run RP in the super. but I have it in my truck, and have noticed this gumming up, when I did my cam swap.. damn stuff was brownish in color when I did my cam swap..
dont really know if I wont to try to switch.. afraid something will happen

I'll never use RP in my truck. You guys check here to read real stories about oil.
http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi
Patman (a mod here) also helps run that site. Some good oil info there. Oh yeah, Scream can give you a not so good RP story.
