Royal Purple HPS 20W-50 Synthetic High Performance Street Motor Oil | 1 Quart | High Zinc/Phosphorus | Synerlec Technology (36250)
Royal Purple HPS 20W-50 Synthetic High Performance Street Motor Oil | 1 Quart | High Zinc/Phosphorus Anti-Wear | Synerlec Additive Technology | Gasoline & Diesel Engines
Royal Purple HPS (High Performance Street) 20W-50 Synthetic Motor Oil is a premium full-synthetic motor oil formulated with a high level of zinc/phosphorus anti-wear additive and a generous dose of Royal Purple's proprietary Synerlec additive technology — a unique formulation that enables HPS oils to outperform leading synthetic and conventional lubricants in both gasoline and diesel engines. The 20W-50 viscosity grade is a high-viscosity specification correct for high-performance engines, high-temperature operating environments, older and high-mileage engines, and applications where the engine manufacturer specifies a 20W-50 viscosity grade. Royal Purple HPS is the correct motor oil choice for performance enthusiasts who want a premium full-synthetic oil with elevated anti-wear protection beyond what standard synthetic motor oils provide. Sold as a single 1-quart bottle — case quantity is 6 quarts.
Key Features:
- High zinc/phosphorus anti-wear additive — Royal Purple HPS is fortified with a high level of zinc/phosphorus (ZDDP) anti-wear additive — elevated ZDDP levels provide superior protection for flat-tappet camshafts, high-lift roller cams, and other high-load valve train components that require higher anti-wear protection than modern low-ZDDP motor oils provide
- Royal Purple Synerlec additive technology — Royal Purple's proprietary Synerlec additive technology is a unique formulation that enables HPS oils to outperform leading synthetic and conventional lubricants — improved film strength, reduced friction, and superior protection across a wide range of operating conditions
- Full synthetic formulation — premium full-synthetic base oil provides superior thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and low-temperature flow compared to conventional and semi-synthetic motor oils
- 20W-50 viscosity grade — high-viscosity specification correct for high-performance engines, high-temperature operating environments, older and high-mileage engines, and applications where the engine manufacturer specifies a 20W-50 viscosity grade
- Gasoline and diesel compatible — correct for use in both gasoline and diesel engines — verify your specific engine's oil specification before use
- Outperforms leading synthetics — Royal Purple's HPS formulation is engineered to outperform leading synthetic and conventional lubricants in both gasoline and diesel engines
- Royal Purple quality — manufactured by Royal Purple, one of the most respected performance lubricant brands in North America
20W-50 Viscosity — Application Context:
The 20W-50 viscosity grade is a high-viscosity motor oil specification. The "20W" cold-weather rating indicates the oil's flow characteristics at low temperatures, while the "50" indicates the oil's viscosity at operating temperature. 20W-50 is a thicker oil at operating temperature than more common grades like 5W-30 or 10W-40 — correct for the following applications:
- High-performance engines: High-output engines generating significant heat benefit from the thicker 50-weight film at operating temperature — maintaining oil pressure and film thickness under high-load, high-temperature conditions
- High-temperature environments: Track use, hot climates, and sustained high-RPM operation where oil temperatures are elevated beyond normal street driving conditions
- Older and high-mileage engines: Engines with increased bearing clearances benefit from the thicker 50-weight viscosity for maintaining oil pressure and film thickness at operating temperature
- Flat-tappet camshaft engines: Classic and vintage engines with flat-tappet camshafts require elevated ZDDP levels for correct cam lobe and lifter protection — Royal Purple HPS's high zinc/phosphorus content makes it the correct choice for these applications
Verify your specific engine manufacturer's oil viscosity specification before use — 20W-50 is not correct for all engines.
