Is it really PURPLE?

One of the most common questions our tech manager is asked by our automotive product consumers is, "Is the oil really purple?" The answer is yes! All Royal Purple automotive and motorcycle/ATV lubricants are purple except for Royal Purple Max ATF.  It is red like any other automatic transmission fluid.”

Another question related to the color of our motor oil is, "Does Royal Purple maintain its purple color after it’s put into service?" No. The dye that’s used to color the oil dissipates shortly after being put into service. The color will turn brown at some point.
