So I went to go get an oil change on my dad's truck today near Canutillo, TX (As you can imagine, this is close to the boarder). So, while waiting I noticed a drum of Royal Purple and asked the guy there where he ordered it from. He told me from corporate, then he said that it was a special formula specifically designed for the Border Patrol. There was a code on the side of the drum that read "USBP" (United States Border Patrol). He said that since they leave their vehicles running 24-7 and beat the hell out of them that they need that special blend. Also told me that we couldnt order it, even from their website. I looked and sure enough there was no USBP mention at all. But that I could buy it from him. I think I'm going to try it out next time I get a change. Anyone else heard of this?

Probably similar to some companines that make "special" racing oils that aren't available to the public either. Makes you think the stuff we have access to is subpar in their minds???

next time you go grab a little and send it to blackstone labs and get it tested,then you will now how good it is. or, if its the same as regular R/P
