I went to my local O'Reilly for royal purple 20w-50 last night and was I ever surprised when they told me the list price was $18.63 per quart! I was quite shocked when he rang up the 4 quarts and wanted like $75.00. That was with the 10w30 on the shelf for $7.29. The 20w50 was hiding behind the counter.
Any one else had an experience like this? I was able to talk them down to 9 bucks but you know the price of oil is going up. I don't think I am headed back there in the near future! i do like the oil. In 2,500 miles last year there appeared to be no wear as evidenced by a nice clean filter when cut open and valves that needed no adjustment. Just had to vent. Jule |

Yes, we are already distributors, but we have not been at all concerned with sales yet, just getting results.
Royal Purple is still highly thought of here.. I still have it in 3 of my personal cars and one of them will continue to run it as it's been in that engine since it's conception some 130K miles ago and I want to continue to run it to see what the engine looks like at tear down time. |
