Royal Purple is on neither list.
What's the deal ? .. and seeing how the manual says only use of 6094 (V6) is recommended, I'm sure warranty might be jeopardized by an oil not held to that standard. Does RP have any identifcation on a label talking about these qualifications ?

Well my DD 98Z28 at 244,000+ has had nothing but castrol syntec since I bought it new.
And I have never had any motor issues and still running strong, to me that says a lot.

Yes. You will be fine. I changed my oil for the first time right at 1500 miles and put in RP 5w-30. I don't care what anyone says....I backed my car up out of the shop where I changed it and the car just felt smoother. RP is the real deal. It is the only oil that my Camaro will see.

Yes you can, and you will be fine. I incourage everyone to research their own products, and decide what you want to use, and what you feel is best for you. I just go by what i have learned, and the advice of a couple of professional engine builders. i DO NOT run RP alone, nor will i ever.

I've been using Mobil 1 forever, they're the only reason I never used Royal Purple, I thought they were just as good. Welp, looks like I'm buying a bunch of purple bottles in a few miles.

please forgive me, im on alot of forums, and my sbc thought process flairs up here from time to time. oilman if you feel different than what i have posted then by all means do not listen to me. As i stated before everyone should do their own research. I have found what works for me and that is what i do. I have IMO a nice fleet of cars, all run as perfect as when they were new. If you do something different then great, but i will certainly never try to make a fool out of you by indirectly saying your thoughts are not worth a damn.

I agree that ZDDP is crucial for some engines, especially flat tappet SBC/BBC applications. Does an engine like the LS3 benefit from ZDDP? It has a full roller valvetrain that certainly doesn't benefit from added zinc.
I thought ZDDP primarily helped boundary layer lubrication, it doesn't do anything for hydrodynamic bearings.
