It's about the same cost as Royal Purple, a little more than Redline,less than Mobil One racing oil and way less than Joe Gibbs. All these oils have far more ZDDP(zinc) and other additives that are removed from street oil because they eat the cat. converters. Flat tappet engines(such as small block chevys,fords,etc love the ZDDP.
You could also try Brad Penn(which is the old Kendall(sp?) GT green oil which is the only Pennsylvania crude still being pumped and is green(natural) in color.:024:
