looked a little bit for you

but no real information
It's something alot of people live off of and some people hate it. Best advice is to try it and see. Once I get the new motor in I am going to put some royal purple in it and see. Either that or b&m stuff but that is for the tranny. Not sure about the motor oil

Buy a case of it on e-bay, thats what the owner of the shop i work at does. He pays something like 7o bucks for 12 quarts or the full race version. I use roughly 4.5 quarts of mobil 1 in my 2200.

GM says to use 4 quarts, in that engine, I wouldn't recommend using any more unless that doesn't fill it up for some reason.
I have the same engine in my 97 and ran Royal Purple a few times. My car ran 20 degrees cooler over a 900 mile drive and the oil looked new when I drained it out after 3000 miles on it. Take that for what its worth.

i bought royal purple putting it into my engine tommorow but with my car having 316000 km on it im hoping theres no deposits around my seals preventing a leak that the RP cleans up, and if there isn't then this should help my engine last longer which will be good
