amsoil is better but is harder to get. They have peddlers that come around and sell that stuff.

DoctorD/DSMinduction on this board had that problem and fixed it with RP..same viscosity, just RP

dont matter. all dsms have lifter tick. the oil passages for the lifters are just too small, and therefore the oil just can't coat the lifters well enough. higher viscosity and/or thicker oil helps, but doesnt eliminate it. Like Todd said, the 3g lifters are the permanent fix for lifter tick. I'm pretty sure thats what Dane has(DsmInduction).

Royal Purple is a pretty good oil, but its a little too expensive for me. I stick with mobil 1 full syn, I guarantee the inside of my motor is clean as FAWK.

The only way RP could possibly damage an engine, IMO, is maybe if the car had a much cheaper oil in it before, and when they switched to RP, existing problems in the engine just became evident.

I have been running mobil1 synthetic for as long as i had my car, roughly 2 years. I'm going to look into getting Topline revised lifters:
