Who in this forum is using royal purple and are you with it????

also are you using the metering pump or is it disabled and your premixing.

curious minds wanna know!!

 

I'm not using Royal Purple, but I am using synthetic: Mobil 1. I don't have an oil metering pump. So I premix. I'm very happy with the Mobil 1. The car runs very well, and I don't burn motor oil anymore. I would think that Royal Purple would be a little better than Mobil 1, but I have yet to try it.

 

I use RP oils in my Project 86 (Racing 21) and their regular synthetic 10W30 in my 91 vert. The 86 has no OMP and runs 2-stroke mixed in the gas, and the vert uses the OMP in stock config with no premix.

 

Can someone explain all this mumbo jumbo "metering pump", "disabled or premixing"...cause I'm at a LOST here. No idea what you guys are talking about...can someone explain what all that is about?...thanks!

 

The rotary needs oil inside its combustion chambers to operate, this serves two purposes, cooling and friction ( the two are related but that's a whole lot a physics that i won't get into)
So this is acomplished in one of two ways. the Oil Meteting Pump ( OMP) which constantly injects oil into the combustion chamber via oil injectors or you add some two stroke premix oi to your gas tank. Some highly modded Rotaries actually use both methods. Ocassionaly the pump fails and your motor dies, but that's unusual, so to overcome this you go with the premix idea. checj out www.pettitracing.com and they sell some charts that tell you the gas to oil ratio, along with some premix oil . Hope this helped out....personaly unless you have a serious HP car stick with the stock system, it's been proven to work.

 

Thanks 'fastrotaries' for explaining that. I never knew before that you could put some amount of oil in your gas tank! That some real strange idea, but I guess if it works, it works!

 

now,dont just go pourin any oil in there...it has to be premix....also,not to be disrespectful or anything,but,how do u get to 411 posts w/o knowing that rotary's need apex seal lubrication/oil injection...heh.later
