Use 5W30 like the owner's manual says. Royal Purple and Redline are very similar. I just happen to have my office next door to the Royal Purple master dealer here in SLC. These are the guys that hold the land speed record. I think they know thier stuff and and thoroughly tested every brand.

I agree with Avenger... AMS is the only oil in my book . I love it plus it comes in 5/w20 they also make high flow oil filters that rock

I use the 5W30 Synthetic, I use the Purple Ice, I use the Total Fuel System Cleaner and I use the Synchro Max Gear Oil. Makes a difference.
