Hi guys I've had a search on what oil to use for the supercharged 6 just wondering whereabouts you can buy the royal purple from? Is there any cheaper oil you can use as well?
Thanks max

Some people use fuchs pro s 10w50 instead, but i believe the recommended one is royal purple.If I go charged then i'll likely use fuchs in all honesty and change it more often. ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

It depends what state of tune your engine is in...if you're running low boost on a standard lump then RP may not benefit you as much as it would on a built engine.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Yes, RP is not required for an engine which is running a standard bottom end. It is perhaps a possible extra insurance against premature failure, but certainly not an absolute essential.________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
