Royal Purple – High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil, Better Wear Protection, 1 Quart (Part No.01530)

High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil, Better Wear Protection, 1 Quart

from

$12.99
High Performance Motor Oil API LICENSED MOTOR OIL Royal Purple High Performance Motor Oil combines premium base oils with proprietary additive technologies to create a high performance synthetic engine oil that optimizes performance and protection. Royal Purple High Performance Motor Oils carry the current API and ILSAC engine oil licenses, as well as the GM dexos1 gasoline engine oil approval. ILSAC GF-6 AND GM DEXOS1 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.

Product Features:
  • Better Wear Protection
  • Increased Protection against Low Speed Pre-Ignition
  • Increased Fuel Efficiency
  • Better Protection for Vehicle Exhaust Emissions Equipment
  • Improved Compatibility with Fuels Containing Ethanol
  • Superior Corrosion Protection
  • Made in USA

Royal Purple – MaxGear SAE 75W90 High Performance Gear Oil w/Friction Modifier Additive, 1 QT (Part No.01300)

MaxGear SAE 75W90 High Performance Gear Oil w/Friction Modifier Additive, 1 QT

from

$24.99
Max Gear is recommended for truck and automotive differentials, outboard motor lower units or in rear axles or manual transmissions requiring an API fluid. Max Gear is a high performance automotive gear oil designed to provide maximum protection to heavily loaded gears while increasing power throughput through the drive train. Max Gear virtually eliminates both gear and bearing wear-even under severe squeeze film conditions caused by extremely high loads, sudden shock loads or low RPMs. Slippery, synthetic molecules not only reduce wear and friction but significantly increase Max Gear’s cold weather fluidity and lubricity, making it the ideal choice for vehicles operating in cold climates. Gears run smoother, quieter, cooler and longer without overhauls. It is noncorrosive to both ferrous and nonferrous metals.

Product Features:
  • Maximizes horsepower
  • Extends gear and bearing life
  • Reduces operating temperature
  • Lower coefficient of friction
  • Superior corrosion protection
  • Separates rapidly from water
  • For use with open, limited-slip and locking differential
  • Contains limited-slip friction modifier
  • Made in USA
