Motor oil is made from crude oil and is used to lubricate, clean, and cool engines. Types of motor oil include conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. Motor oil varies in weight and viscosity, as well as additives that some manufacturers add to the oil during the refining process. A numerical code system created by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades motor oils according to viscosity, the higher the number between 0 and 60, the more viscous (thicker) the oil is. Most consumer motor oils are graded by two numbers, with the first number indicating cold weather (Winter or "W") performance. With a weight of SAE 5W-30, this oil has an SAE viscosity rating of 5 in cold temperatures and a rating of 30 at normal operating temperature. This oil is fully synthetic, meaning crude oil is not used in making it. Synthetic oil often provides superior mechanical performance over traditional motor oil, including increased gas mileage and reduced engine wear at extreme temperatures. Its complex method of production means it can often cost more than conventional motor oil. Royal Purple HPS Series motor oil is specifically formulated to maximize performance and meet the demands of high performance and modified engines. Fortified with a high level of zinc/phosphorus anti-wear additive and proprietary Synerlec additive technology, this unique blend outperforms leading synthetics and conventional lubricants. Available viscosities include 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30, 10W-40 and 20W-50. HPS is recommended for vehicles no longer under manufacturer warranty and for those seeking a higher level of performance and protection. Royal Purple's HPS Series of motor oil responds to increased pressure with increased viscosity. It's advanced additive technologies, such as Synerlec improves the condition of metal-to-metal contact under severe conditions for greater protection.
Royal Purple manufactures only one type of oil filter – the super-premium Extended Life Oil Filter, designed and engineered to match superior particle removal with optimized flow for maximum engine protection and filter life. Built smarter and stronger, Royal Purple synthetic oil filters continuously outperform in the toughest conditions. Superior Filtration
The 100% synthetic micro-glass media we use to make Extended Life filters provides superior particle removal – with 99% filtration efficiency at as small as 25 microns. The difference between Royal Purple and conventional oil filters is staggering:
Conventional Fiber Magnified 250 times, a microscope shows large spaces in conventional cellulose filtration fibers. The spaces allow larger particles to enter the oil stream and infiltrate the engine. Royal Purple Better Oil Filter Fiber Royal Purple’s filter media uses the latest technology filtration system to catch particles as small as 25 microns.
Design and Construction Advantages
Shell
Each Royal Purple oil filter features thicker shell material for extra strength and extra security against puncture from road debris. Metal End-Caps
Provide each oil filter with a positive seal for filter element assembly. Center Tube
Designed to prevent filter element collapse. Filter Element
100% screen-backed synthetic media provides superior filtration while keeping flow restriction low. By-pass Valve
Engineered to ensure oil flow in situations of excessive filter element flow restriction. Steel Backplate
Heavy-gauge steel backplate through each filter for higher burst strength. Gasket
Premium nitrile rubber with special lubricity compound reduces torque during installation and removal. Silicone Anti-drain Back Valve
Prevents dry starts by eliminating oil drain-back during shutdown. The anti-drain back valve is made of silicone, which outperforms and outlasts standard nitrile rubber in both extreme cold and hot oil temperatures.
