R_Purple experiences with turbo?

[Steve R]

My work neighbor  has a fairly nice business selling all kinds and makes of
oils and other products. He's never heard of this product  and neither has
his contacts. Maybe it's a regional company or private label or maybe not .
I'm not flaming the name, just repeating what I've been told.  Personally, I
like Amsoil. I've noticed higher oil pressure and lower temperature but
every engine is different.
