[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 11939288, member: 11681"] Current API oils have chemistry restrictions. These restriction seldom take into account the possibility that high end oil companies like Royal Purple are going to be using additive examples that are extremely costly, have very high retention and extremely low volatility, which means the restricted chemicals likely would not have ended up in the exhaust stream anyway. If you have equipment that is under warranty, run an API oil as required, if you are buying bargain oil from a 7/11, or Walmart, look for an API oil. If you are buying cutting edge, state of the art, boutique oils like RP, Amsoil, Redline, Motol, etc you do not need the API to protect you from accidentally picking up sub-standard oils. Many performance oils from the majors have warnings about not using them for street use because they exclude using normal detergent add packs and have higher volatility anti wear components. We take no such short cuts or cost saving measures. If you buy a Bugatti Veyron and want to run the best oil in the world in it, you are not going to want to worry about your cats or gunk in your engine. That's why we build our top XPR racing oil like we do. [/QUOTE]
