I am having a hard time finding 5w-40 in any brand of oil other than Castrol. I was wondering if I could use royal purple 0w-40 in the place of 5w-40. I think I have guys on other forums use it, but wasn't for sure if it would be compatible. It is more available. Just curios didnt want to destroy my motor.

Yes you can run it. I run Royal Purple in all of my powersports toys including my Maverick. It's good shit and easy to find.

Wal-Mart actually caries full Synthetic Mobil 1 0W-40. It is called European blend and is used exclusively in just about every BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, VW, Audi etc.....A 4qt jug is about $20. It is good stuff.

That's a great deal. I like the Royal Purple better because it's as good as the Mobil One but its a bit cheaper.

Yea, it's really cheap for a full synthetic oil. 5 years ago you had to purchase it directly from the dealership or order it on line at $12 a qt. Now that 99% of all european cars use it, it is commonplace and readily avaialble.

Here it is for less than $5 a qt....

Nice, Thanks dude

Not a problem.......I think you can get 2 oil changes out of a 5qt jug. So that is less than $13 per oil change....

Well thanks to all, I think I will go royal purple all the way around 0w-40 for the engine, 75w-90 for front and rear diffs, and 75w-140 for the gear box. Maybe after I get some experience under my belt I ll hand out some info on how to manage ones ride
