Mate we couldn't of without x-ray vision! It had been fillered up and painted (ages ago by the looks of it) so the lad selling them wouldn't have known.

FINALLY got some royal purple oil and filter.

I've been trying to get some for ages but every UK distributor either said:

They couldn't be bothered or
They couldn't get 5w-30 or
Royal purple don't sell a filter for the IS2/300 or
Didn't answer my emails/calls at all.

ANYWAYS a new aftermarket car part shop opened near me recently and I asked them to get me some oil and a filter and they sorted me out Smile

The oil and filter are in/on the engine and I'm very happy Big Grin

Sparkystav What's so good about this stuff mate?

Erm the oil is just really good? They have a PR video where they have a bearings spinning in baths of oil made by popular oil brands and it shows the damage to the bearing surfaces then they dip a bearing in royal purple oil and then spin the bearing the same as the others and then show the bearing faces and there perfect.

If that makes sense?

The filter is really fine and has a very high burst pressure.

The main selling point is that the oil and filter are both purple.

Well I know that but every UK distributor of royal purple said they didn't make on or couldn't get one.
