Message	I tried RP recently and it was awesome stuff for about the first few hundred miles. Then my car started getting piston slap on startups and the powerband started getting rough. This morning on first startup my exhaust was smoking really bad till my engine warmed up (my car has never smoked before and only has 56k miles). So I drained it and went back to Mobil 1.
