Default Royal purple oil

Hey guys,

What do you think of Royal Purple 15w-40 oil ran in an 87 in hot summers in Memphis?

Is 20-50 a motorcycle oil?

I use the HPS 20w-50 here and am very happy with it. Recommend it over everything else at the moment but the Swepco sales rep was here today and I get to try some of that out. I'd not use the 15w-40 due to ambient temps but it's still a decent oil.

Made in Texas - but your local O'Reillys should be able to get it.

You have to order it.

I switched to RP 20-50 in order to get better pressure in Fresno summers, and it works.
