Royal Purple® combines premium synthetic base oils with proprietary additive technologies to exceed protection and performance requirements of new modern engines. These often include smaller displacements, turbo chargers, gasoline direct injection (GDI), and start/stop systems.
Modern gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines have achieved levels of power and fuel economy never before possible in passenger car engines. As a result, smaller engines operate at much higher loads across all engine speeds. This has caused increased wear in critical areas of the engine, and created a destructive phenomenon called low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI). The unique, state-of-the-art additive technology in Royal Purple High Performance engine oils is designed specifically to address these issues, and help engines maintain performance and reliability.
KEY BENEFITS:
Optimized Fuel Economy
Enhanced Engine Performance
Long-term Protection
PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES

50% IMPROVED DEPOSIT CONTROL** – Removes power robbing deposits for like new performance
BETTER WEAR PROTECTION – Enhanced additive technology prevents metal-to-metal contact beyond both GM dexos®1* and ILSAC GF-6A specs
INCREASED FUEL EFFICIENCY – A low coefficient of friction results in optimized fuel efficiency (our 5W-30 meets the fuel economy requirements of a 0W-20 oil; our 0W-20 meets fuel economy requirements of a 0W-16)
BETTER PROTECTION FOR VEHICLE EXHAUST EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT – Patented anti-wear additive chemistry minimizes the harmful effects exhaust gases pose to the catalyst
IMPROVED COMPATIBILITY WITH FUELS CONTAINING ETHANOL – Patented additive technology prevents the white sludge and lubrication starvation that can occur with higher concentration gasoline-ethanol blends
SUPERIOR CORROSION PROTECTION – No rust observed in standard industry testing
Royal Purple® High Performance engine oils carry the current API and ILSAC engine oil licenses, as well as the GM dexos®1* gasoline engine oil approval.

Pre-ignition protection
Greater resistance to oxidation and viscosity protection against oil breakdown.
The Trend: Engine downsizing is popular with OEMs as an effective method to improve fuel economy and reduce CO2 emissions. However, these engines operate at higher pressures to compensate for the lost power and torque output from the reduced engine. These features from the smaller engines causes stress on the engine oil leading to oxidation and viscosity increase.
Problem: Oil oxidation and viscosity increase leads to deposit formation, poor engine performance and shorten engine life.
Solution: RP Dexos 1 Gen3 Oil provides up to 300% greater resistance to oil oxidation and viscosity protection against oil breakdown.
Based on the 0W-20, there is a 300%
improvement
The 5W-30 is 150%
improvement
Exceeds the latest industry Fuel Economy Requirements and help reduce CO2 Emissions
The Trend: Government Legislation mandates to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. OEMs are developing engines, hardware and oil specifications to maximize fuel economy for their new vehicles.
Problem: There are challenges in modern engines to extract significant fuel economy improvements from lubricants. High fuel consumptions equates to higher CO2 emissions.
Solution: RP Dexos 1 Gen3 Oil exceeds the latest industry Fuel Economy requirements and help reduce CO2 Emissions.
Delivers the FE performance of the next lower grade’s limits on the Seq VIE and Seq VIF Fuel Economy Tests
SAE 0W-20 VIE passes at SAE 0W-16 VIF limits
SAE 5W-30 passes at SAE 0W-20 VIE limits
RP Dexos 1 Gen 3 Oil exceeds the protection and performance requirements of new modern engines
The Trend: The global push to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy has led to modern /new cars to have smaller,
turbocharged, gasoline direct injected (GDI) engines. These engines are designed for increased power density – making them increasingly
susceptible to LSPI events and Turbocharger deposits. ~ 75% of new cars manufactured contain these engines.
Problem: Low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) is an abnormal combustion event, which has been observed at low engine speeds in the new generation
of smaller, turbocharged, gasoline direct injected engines. The most severe cases of LSPI can result in damaged pistons, broken piston rings and
bent connecting rods. Turbocharges during engine operation, experience extreme heat that can lead to oil break down and deposit formation on
internal turbocharger parts causing loss of power and overall engine performance.
Solution: RP Dexos 1 Gen3 Oil is formulated to exceed the protection and performance requirements of new modern engines.
Provides outstanding protection
against pre-ignition events, up to 100%
protection against pre-ignition.
Exceeds the highest industry limits
for Turbo charger deposit protection 50%
better deposit control
Engine protection against sludge and varnish formation
The Trend: Hybrid Engines and vehicles with frequent start stop operation run at low oil temperatures.
Problem: Low operating temperatures create a number of issues for the lubricant that may impair its ability to protect the engine. Under these
conditions, water and unburned fuel can accumulate in the crankcase and their levels can rise well above 10% each and promote the formation
of sludge and varnish…
Solution: RP Dexos 1 Gen3 Oil advanced synthetic molecules prevents sludge & varnish by up to 14% better than industry limits, keeping your
engine clean or like new.
Prevents sludge & varnish by up to 14%
